It's important to note that even if these open models are distilled, they are showing genuine improvements in their architecture, which enables inference costs to be several factors below what equivalent closed models have. The interes

Mistakes in proofs are relatively common, but such a mistake doesn't automatically mean that the proof is entirely wrong. Many times, the mistake is just in the exposition, and can be fixed easily. Other times, the mistake is fixable a

Funnily enough, you will have to pretty accurately copy the laws of our universe to make an Apple pie. Even small changes will change the properties of atoms, and hence all of chemistry and biology. And there won't be any apples or whe

Dream would be a combination of AI models that are smart like a human transcriber. One can just tell the model what mistakes it has made (e.g. "No, you wrote XYZ but I meant WXY"), and it is intelligent enough to realize when it i

This is pretty cool. The dream would be that all editors (including brower tabs) have an api interface which allows arbitrary LLMs to modify the editor content. So you can indeed look at different windows as you talk, but the editor keeps g

In fact, a few apps I have tried do exactly this inside the app themselves. There is a live textual field that displays whatever the model thinks, and this display constantly goes back and fixes earlier words. So I know it's possible.

Robotics and textual AI have very different risk profiles. Textual AI can just be provided to users even if they are completely crap because some users will get some usage out of them. Robots can only be released once they are good enough t

An interesting solution would be for these AI companies to train a few different versions of these models, all with different speech characteristics. Then, when you start a conversation, you get a random version.
