Salesforce has announced a new AI Service Agent for its platform, using their Einstein Copilot as the foundation. It can autonomously handle customer service tasks and integrate with company records for seamless support.

Andrej Karpathy, legendary researcher, has announced the creation of Eureka Labs, an AI-native school. Andrej is known for being extremely educational about AI, and this company could personify that mission.

As for our weekly touchpoint on OpenAI, anonymous ex-OpenAI whistleblowers have accused OpenAI of using NDAs that illegally restrict employees from reporting issues to regulators.

I will also mention that there are rumors surrounding OpenAI and a potential new product titled Strawberry. At this point there is a lot of speculation but not many facts. I try to stick to the facts.

Research

The paper KAN or MLP: A Fairer Comparison provides a detailed comparison between Kernel Attention Networks (KAN) and Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLP) across various tasks, including machine learning, computer vision, audio processing, natural language processing, and symbolic formula representation. The study aims to offer a balanced evaluation by controlling the number of parameters and Floating Point Operations (FLOPs) for both models.

The paper INF-LLaVA, introduces a novel Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) designed to address the challenges of high-resolution image perception. Traditional MLLMs face limitations due to the quadratic complexity of their vision encoders, which restricts the resolution of input images. INF-LLaVA overcomes these limitations through two innovative components: the Dual-perspective Cropping Module (DCM) and the Dual-perspective Enhancement Module (DEM).

Meta's AI Model That's More Than Just a Wooly Idea

After months of anticipation and a dramatic leak just yesterday, Meta has officially unveiled the latest gem in its open-source LLM lineup: LLAMA-3.1

What's the hype about?

It’s just a tiny tweak to the Llama 3 model, but it packs a punch with Llama 3.1 405B—a 405 billion parameter monster, the world’s largest open-source LLM to date, surpassing NVIDIA's Nemotron-4-340B-Instruct

Meta claims it has outperformed GPT-4, GPT-4o, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet across various tasks.

This model was trained on a whopping 15 trillion tokens using over 16,000 H100 GPUs, making it Meta’s most massive and ambitious model yet.

How to try it?

You can download the models directly from Meta or Huggingface.

Unless you have a powerful computer with multiple cores it would not be practical to use this yourself. You would need to rely on hosted services or have a computer that runs on multiple cores.
