Snowflake Arctic, a New AI LLM for Enterprise Tasks, is Coming to APAC

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

Data cloud provider Snowflake has launched an open source large language model, Arctic LLM, as part of a growing portfolio of AI offerings helping enterprises leverage their data. Typical use cases include data analysis, including sentiment analysis of reviews, chatbots for customer service or sales, and business intelligence queries, like the extraction of revenue information. Snowflake’s Arctic is being offered alongside other LLM models from Meta, Mistral AI, Google and Reka in its Cortex product, which is only available in select regions. Snowflake said Cortex will be available in APAC in Japan in June via the AWS Asia Pacific (Tokyo)…

How to use Google Search entirely AI-free automatically – gHacks Tech News

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Google is integrating AI information into Google Search. Called AI Overviews, it is a feature that is rolling out to users from specific regions already. The feature adds an AI response to the very top of the search results. Below that, you find the regular web links. There are good reasons to skip AI output. From hallucinations, which means made-up information, to returning the wrong or even dangerous information. Add ads to that, which Google is now also rolling out in the United States, and you may not be super interested into these results at the time of writing. If…

What features does a robotic guide dog need? Ask the blind, say the authors of an award-winning paper. Led by researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, a study identifying how to develop robot guide dogs with insights from guide dog users and trainers won a Best Paper Award at CHI 2024: Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI). Guide dogs enable remarkable autonomy and mobility for their handlers. However, only a fraction of people with visual impairments have one of these companions. The barriers include the scarcity of trained dogs, cost (which is $40,000 for training alone), allergies…

AI, Platforms, And Big Promises: What We Saw At Red Hat Summit

stp2y0 CommentsNewsai, Ansible, Linux, Red Hat

IT platform teams’ responsibilities in 2024 are expanding radically. They’re being asked to provide cost-effective alternative solutions for the VMware virtualization technology that typically dominates enterprise IT. While they’re at it, could they please also stand up state-of-the-art AI platforms that can support generative AI in the data center and cloud that work as well as big cloud-managed AI services but for less money? Those were the big questions hanging over some 6,000 attendees of Red Hat Summit in Denver May 6–9. Red Hat responded with a series of announcements of offerings — some immediate, some long-term — that are…

Asymmetric Certified Robustness via Feature-Convex Neural Networks

stp2y0 CommentsAIasymmetric robustness, certified robustness, input-convex neural networks

Asymmetric Certified Robustness via Feature-Convex Neural Networks TLDR: We propose the asymmetric certified robustness problem, which requires certified robustness for only one class and reflects real-world adversarial scenarios. This focused setting allows us to introduce feature-convex classifiers, which produce closed-form and deterministic certified radii on the order of milliseconds. Figure 1. Illustration of feature-convex classifiers and their certification for sensitive-class inputs. This architecture composes a Lipschitz-continuous feature map $varphi$ with a learned convex function $g$. Since $g$ is convex, it is globally underapproximated by its tangent plane at $varphi(x)$, yielding certified norm balls in the feature space. Lipschitzness of $varphi$…

Ethical, trust, and skill barriers slow generative AI progress in EMEA

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

76% of consumers in EMEA think AI will significantly impact the next five years, yet 47% question the value that AI will bring and 41% are worried about its applications. This is according to research from enterprise analytics AI firm Alteryx. Since the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI in November 2022, there has been significant buzz about the transformative potential of generative AI, with many considering it one of the most revolutionary technologies of our time. With a significant 79% of organisations reporting that generative AI contributes positively to business, it is evident that a gap needs to be addressed to demonstrate AI’s value to consumers both in…

When ChatGPT was released in November 2023, it could only be accessed through the cloud because the model behind it was downright enormous.Today I am running a similarly capable AI program on a Macbook Air, and it isn’t even warm. The shrinkage shows how rapidly researchers are refining AI models to make them leaner and more efficient. It also shows how going to ever larger scales isn’t the only way to make machines significantly smarter.The model now infusing my laptop with ChatGPT-like wit and wisdom is called Phi-3-mini. It’s part of a family of smaller AI models recently released by…

A majority of US TikTok creators don’t believe the platform will be banned within a year, and most haven’t seen brands they work for shift their marketing budgets away from the app, according to a new survey of people who earn money from posting content on TikTok shared exclusively with WIRED.The findings suggest that TikTok’s influencer economy largely isn’t experiencing existential dread after Congress passed a law last month that put the future of the app’s US operations in jeopardy. The bill demands that TikTok separate from its Chinese parent company within a year or face a nationwide ban; TikTok…

Instruction Tuning OPT-125M

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

Large language models are pretrained on terabytes of language datasets. However, the pretraining dataset and strategy teach the model to generate the next token or word. In a real world sense, this is not much useful. Because in the end, we want to accomplish a task using the LLM, either through chat or instruction. We can do so through fine-tuning an LLM. Generally, we call this instruction tuning of the language model. To this end, in this article, we will use the OPT-125M model for instruction tuning. Figure 1. Output sample after instruction tuning OPT-125M on the Open Assistant Guanaco…
