We are building this at @aitomatic, alongside partners like @honeywell, @panasonic, @furuno_global, @VPBankVN, and @fpt_software. We call it the Cognitive Ontology. It is the knowledge graph for the agentic enterprise.

Gemini 3 Deep Think is next level. Deep Think was the the engine behind our gold medal-level wins at IMO and ICPC, and now powers an even stronger version of Gemini 3. SOTA above SOTA. More to come soon!

The world’s first open-source semiconductor industry model, based on Llama3 is testament to #AI capabilities. Even this early in its technology development, AI is already to support one of the most, if not the most, complex manufacturing processes/domains github.com/aitomatic/semikon…

Meanwhile we will have to settle for DANA as our state-of-the-art emulation. arxiv.org/abs/2410.02823 tl;dr: DANA (Domain-Aware Neurosymbolic Agent) blends domain knowledge with a neurosymbolic framework beyond standard LLMs, achieving 90%+ accuracy and consistency in complex tasks, with strong potential for precision industries like finance and semiconductors.

Open source AI model for semiconductor design.
Industry’s first-ever open-source Semiconductor domain-specific model “SemiKong”, being announced at #SEMICONWest by me (!) and colleagues from @aitomatic @TokyoElectron_J @fsoft_aicenter. This in unprecedented for the semiconductor industry which is infamous for competitive secrecy. Outweighed by the benefits of shared R&D at the foundational layers. While encouraging proprietary differentiation and competition at the company/tool/process/device-specific layers above. This industrial-scale collaboration led by @aitomatic is made possible by the #AIAlliance and its members. Quite significantly: thanks to open foundation models like Llama3 cc @finkd @ylecun @AIatMeta who is also part of the AI Alliance.

Join us today at PST 3:30PM at #SEMICONWest for an exclusive look at how domain specialist agents—powered by SemiKong the first open-source LLM for semiconductors—are transforming the industry. Hear from Dr. @pentagoniac Christopher Nguyen of @aitomatic , Mr. Daisuke Oku and Mr. Atsushi Suzuki of Tokyo Electron on how this breakthrough can help you accelerate innovation and reduce operation costs! #Semiconductors #AI #SemiKong #aiKO

arxiv.org/abs/2404.11792 Real-Reasoning RAG, or Where to Get Performance Gains Out of RAG (from @aitomatic & @IBMResearch, #AIAlliance): • Fine-tuning the retriever model gives you more bang for your buck than the generator model. • Employing reasoning yields significant gains, esp. on compound/abstract queries. • Planning & reasoning is where everyone will have to go, even just to solve enterprise Q&A. cc @ylecun.

Planning and Reasoning coming soon to a repo near you. github.com/aitomatic/openssa Cc @aitomatic
🤖 Incredibly cool Google DeepMind paper: Concordia is a library for building agents that leverage language models to simulate human behavior with a high degree of detail and realism. The agents can reason, plan, and communicate in natural language, interacting with each other in grounded physical, social, or digital environments. ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/23… So many cool use cases (with obvious limitations): studying complex social phenomena, generating synthetic data, evaluating AI systems etc. Some excerpts I really liked below:

Key takeaway from @aitomatic CEO/co-founder Dr. Christopher Nguyen's talk: Small is Powerful! Unlike general-purpose AIs, Small and Specialized Agents excel in specific tasks like predictive maintenance, proving size isn't everything in AI. Watch his talk here: k1st.world/2023-program/supe…

At Davos #AIHouse I spoke about: » The AI Alliance thealliance.ai and its mission to Build, Enable, and Advocate for open development, open science, and open AI. » That the best way to achieve Safety, Reliability, and Trust is through open source. » That it is erroneous to conflate open/closed with managed/unmanaged. Indeed, the best way to manage is through open development. » That the best way to manage AI risks is to look at two main elements: (1) the point of application/not technology, and (2) the incentives around their impact/not intent. » Likewise with ethical/unethical AI—community development tend to be held to higher ethical standards than behind closed doors. » That the industrial world has no illusions about the risks of putting probabilistic components into life-critical systems—control loops are in place for deterministic outcomes. » That it is by now well understood that LxM are Level-1 (inferencing) intelligence that require an external control loop to achieve Level-2 (reasoning) intelligence—and Level-2 systems will be far more deterministic. I knew about but could not reference #AlphaGeometry yet—it is a neuro-symbolic approach to the above Level-2 intelligence. To @GaryMarcus’s credit, he was in the room and mentioned his long-standing advocacy for neuro-symbolic approach explicitly.
Maintaining standards in identifying and mitigating risks in AI systems is crucial, especially in physical and life-critical industries. At #AIHouseDavos @wef, Aitomatic CEO @pentagoniac and fellow experts shared their insights on "The Next Frontier of AI: Standards and AI Safety Audits”. Key takeaways: 1️⃣Standards & audits in AI are more than just checkboxes! They're crucial for risk mitigation, trust-building, & fairness in the tech world. But here's the catch. They need to evolve as fast as the tech does. 2️⃣LLM aren't the be-all and end-all! There's still a lot to explore and improve. The focus? Finding what's missing in current AI approaches and innovating beyond LLMs. 3️⃣For startups & SMEs, safety, innovation, & compliance are a tightrope walk. Industry, policymakers, & academia each have a crucial role. Collaboration and a focus on practical applications (not just tech) will be the game-changer! Big thanks to the experts for such insightful discussions: @GaryMarcus of @NYU @ZennerBXL of @EPPGroup @Europarl_EN @pbielik of @latticeflowai @thomasstauner of @BMWGroup @bossardt of @KPMG @ApostolVassilev of @NIST Iwan Gloor of @gowago Matt Fredrikson of @carnegiemellon @CSDatCMU @SCSatCMU @arkrause of @ETH_en Missed the livestream?
