Corporate and diplomatic trends in AI writing According to the researchers, all sectors they analyzed (consumer complaints, corporate communications, job postings) showed similar adoption patterns: sharp increases beginning three to four months after ChatGPT’s November 2022 launch, followed by stabilization in late 2023. Organization age emerged as the strongest predictor of AI writing usage in… Read More »
These diffusion models maintain performance faster than or comparable to similarly sized conventional models. LLaDA’s researchers report their 8 billion parameter model performs similarly to LLaMA3 8B across various benchmarks, with competitive results on tasks like MMLU, ARC, and GSM8K. However, Mercury claims dramatic speed improvements. Their Mercury Coder Mini scores 88.0 percent on HumanEval… Read More »
[embedded content] Google Gemini: Hacking Memories with Prompt Injection and Delayed Tool Invocation. Based on lessons learned previously, developers had already trained Gemini to resist indirect prompts instructing it to make changes to an account’s long-term memories without explicit directions from the user. By introducing a condition to the instruction that it be performed only… Read More »
Unlike conventional LLMs, these SR models take extra time to produce responses, and this extra time often increases performance on tasks involving math, physics, and science. And this latest open model is turning heads for apparently quickly catching up to OpenAI. For example, DeepSeek reports that R1 outperformed OpenAI’s o1 on several benchmarks and tests,… Read More »
On Monday, Nvidia announced Project DIGITS, a small desktop computer aimed at researchers, data scientists, and students who want to experiment with AI models—such as chatbots like ChatGPT and image generators—at home. The $3,000 device, which contains Nvidia’s new GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, debuted at CES 2025 in Las Vegas. It will launch in May… Read More »

The company is not releasing them yet but will make these models available for public safety testing and research access today.… Read More »
On Wednesday, OpenAI launched a 1-800-CHATGPT (1-800-242-8478) telephone number that anyone in the US can call to talk to ChatGPT via voice chat for up to 15 minutes for free. The company also says that people outside the US can send text messages to the same number for free using WhatsApp. Upon calling, users hear… Read More »
On Wednesday, Google unveiled Gemini 2.0, the next generation of its AI-model family, starting with an experimental release called Gemini 2.0 Flash. The model family can generate text, images, and speech while processing multiple types of input including text, images, audio, and video. It’s similar to multimodal AI models like GPT-4o, which powers OpenAI’s ChatGPT.… Read More »
Anthropic, founded by former OpenAI executives Dario and Daniela Amodei in 2021, will continue using Google’s cloud services along with Amazon’s infrastructure. The UK Competition and Markets Authority reviewed Amazon’s partnership with Anthropic earlier this year and ultimately determined it did not have jurisdiction to investigate further, clearing the way for the partnership to continue.… Read More »
But it was really motivated by just an enormous, not only opportunity, but a moral obligation in a sense, to do something that was better done outside in order to design better medicines and have very direct impact on people’s lives. Ars: The funny thing with ChatGPT is that I was using GPT-3 before that.… Read More »
