Exploring GraphCodeBERT for Code Search: Insights and Limitations

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , , , ,
As a professional developer working daily with a massive codebase containing millions of lines of code and over 1,000 C# projects, finding the right pieces of code to modify can often be a time-consuming task. Recently, my interest has revolved around solving the problem of code search, and I was particularly intrigued by the potential of GraphCodeBERT, as outlined in the research paper GraphCodeBERT: Pre-training Code Representations with Data Flow. Encouraged by the promising results described in the paper, I decided to evaluate its capabilities. The pretrained model is available here, with a corresponding demo project hosted in the GitHub…

OpenAI’s next-generation o3 model will arrive early next year

After nearly two weeks of announcements, OpenAI capped off its 12 Days of OpenAI livestream series with a preview of its next-generation frontier model. “Out of respect for friends at Telefónica (owner of the O2 cellular network in Europe), and in the grand tradition of OpenAI being really, truly bad at names, it’s called o3,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told those watching the announcement on YouTube.The new model isn’t ready for public use just yet. Instead, OpenAI is first making o3 available to researchers who want help with safety testing. OpenAI also announced the existence of o3-mini. Altman said the…

Google’s Gemini Deep Research tool is now available globally

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , ,
A little more than a week after announcing Gemini Deep Research, Google is making the tool available to more people. As of today, the feature, part of the company’s paid Gemini Advanced suite, is available in every country and language where Google offers Gemini. In practice, that means Gemini Advanced users in more than 100 countries globally can start using Deep Research right now. Previously, it was only available in English.As a refresher, Deep Research takes advantage of Gemini 1.5 Pro’s ability to reason through “long context windows” to create comprehensive but easy-to-read reports on complex topics. Once you provide…

OpenAI o3 – Thinking Fast and Slow

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , , , ,
OpenAI has teased the o3 model today—a further development of the "reasoning" model and a successor to o1. I was impressed by how much it improved on the ARC-AGI-1 benchmark - a supposedly unbeatable benchmark by the current generation of LLMs. o1 's high-score was 32% while o3 jumped right at 88%. The authors of the Arc Challenge ($1mil reward for beating ARC-AGI) were quite confident that transformer-based models won't be successful in their benchmark - they were not impressed with o1. Yet, the o3 blog post is a completely different sentiment with words such as "surprising", "novel" and "breakthrough".…

The holiday season has barely begun, but some of us are already getting ready for CES 2025. Shortly after New Year’s Day, many from the Engadget team will be packing our bags to fly to Las Vegas, where we’ll be covering tech’s biggest annual conference. As usual, our inboxes are already flooded with pitches from companies that are planning to be there, and our calendars are filling up with appointments for briefings and demos.Based on our experience, as well as observation of recent industry trends, it’s fairly easy to make educated predictions about what we might see in January.

I made wut – a CLI that explains your last command with an LLM

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , , , ,
Check it out: https://github.com/shobrook/wut Just type wut and an LLM of your choice will explain whatever's in your terminal. You'll be surprised how useful this is. I use it mainly to understand and debug stack traces, but there are a bunch of other use cases too, like deciphering error codes, correcting invalid commands, summarizing logs, etc. Hopefully y'all find it as helpful as I do!

Meta’s AI video editing features are coming to Instagram next year

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , ,
Earlier this year, Meta previewed Movie Gen, an AI video editing tool that looked (at least in the sample clips it released). At the time, though, Meta said it was still a research project with no immediate plans to make the features available to users.But it now seems that Movie Gen could arrive on Instagram sooner than later. Instagram’s top exec Adam Mosseri posted a previewing the kind of seamless AI edits that will eventually be possible, saying that the company is “hoping to bring this to Instagram next year.”In the clip, Mosseri says that Meta is “working on some…

Google accused of using novices to fact-check Gemini’s AI answers

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , ,
There's no arguing that AI still has quite a few unreliable moments, but one would hope that at least its evaluations would be accurate. However, last week Google allegedly instructed contract workers evaluating Gemini not to skip any prompts, regardless of their expertise, TechCrunch reports based on internal guidance it viewed. Google shared a preview of Gemini 2.0 earlier this month.Google reportedly instructed GlobalLogic, an outsourcing firm whose contractors evaluate AI-generated output, not to have reviewers skip prompts outside of their expertise. Previously, contractors could choose to skip any prompt that fell far out of their expertise — such as…

OpenAI brings ChatGPT to WhatsApp

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , ,
ChatGPT is now available on WhatsApp. Starting today, if you add 1 (800) CHAT-GPT to your contacts — that's 1 (800) 242-8478 — you can start using the chatbot over Meta's messaging app. In this iteration, ChatGPT is limited to text-only input, so there's no Advanced Voice Mode or visual input on offer, but you still get all the smarts of the o1-mini model.What's more, over WhatsApp ChatGPT is available everywhere OpenAI offers its chatbot, with no account necessary. OpenAI is working on a way to authenticate existing users over WhatApp, though the company did not share a timeline for…
