The movement toward open source AI made progress today when the Open Source Initiative released the first (OSAID). While the OSAID provides one step forward, the lack of requirements around openness for training data leaves a gap that eventually will need to be filled. The OSAID was unveiled this week after two years of development ... Full article
A boom in AI has created a problem for the organizers of the NeurIPS conference, which is considered an essential machine-learning research conference. The sheer number of registrations has overwhelmed organizers, who are moving to a lottery system to determine attendees. “Due to high demand for registrations, NeurIPS will be moving towards a randomized lottery system, ...

As artificial intelligence systems grow more advanced, there is increasing concern over models capable of modifying their own code and enhancing their abilities without human oversight. Such AI agents, if left unchecked, could progress at a rate that surpasses human understanding, potentially leading to unpredictable or even catastrophic outcomes. Researchers from OpenAI have developed MLE-bench ... Full article
The advent of generative AI has supersized the appetite for GPUs and other forms of accelerated computing. To help companies scale up their accelerated compute investments in a predictable manner, GPU giant Nvidia and several server partners have borrowed a page from the world of high performance computing (HPC) and unveiled the Enterprise Reference Architectures ...

AI may be a priority at American companies, but the difficulty in managing data and obtaining high quality data to train AI models is becoming a bigger hurdle to achieving AI aspirations, according to Appen’s State of AI in 2024 report, which was released yesterday. AI is dependent on data. Whether you’re training your own ... Full article
Imagine if your LLM could not only provide answers but also show you exactly where those answers came from—like a scholar meticulously citing sources. A new validation tool created at MIT aims to do just that, giving human validators the ability to trace every piece of information back to its origin in a dataset, which ... Full article
The Biden administration is reportedly considering capping sales of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chips from US-based manufacturers like AMD and NVIDIA to certain countries, including those in the Middle East.  The move represents concerns over the use of advanced AI chips for surveillance and military applications. AI technologies can be used to enhance the capabilities of ... Full article
Physicists have developed a deep understanding of the fundamental laws of nature through careful observations, experiments, and precise measurements. However, what if artificial intelligence (AI) could uncover governing laws of the physical world by analyzing data on its own?  Researchers at Archetype AI have developed a foundational AI model, called the “Newton AI Model”, capable ...

A new AI model from Nvidia knows just how many R’s are in the word strawberry, a feat that OpenAI’s GPT-4o model has yet to achieve. In what is known as the "strawberry problem," GPT-4o and a few other established models often give the false answer that ‘strawberry’ only has two R’s.  Launched on Hugging ... Full article
There have been some recent press releases and headlines with the phrase “AI Exascale” in them. Other than flaunting the word exascale or even zettascale, these stories do not provide enough information to justify using the term exascale. Those in the HPC community understand words like exascale, which means the computer in question has achieved ... Full article
