Meta's plan to offer free commercial AI models puts pressure on Google, OpenAI artisana.ai/articles/metas-p… (news.ycombinator.com/item?id…)

I am loving the AI model wars! artisana.ai/articles/metas-p…

My thoughts on the now famous Google leak doc: semianalysis.com/p/google-we…
1. Open source AI is winning. I agree, and that is great for the world and for a competitive ecosystem. In LLMs we're not there, but we just got OpenClip to beat openAI Clip and Stable diffusion is better than closed models.
2. You don't need huge models, high quality data is much more efficient and important. Alpacaing models behind APIs further reduces moats.
3. You can start with a good foundation model and parameter efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) algorithms like Lora work super well in a day. Finally an opening for algorithmic innovations!
4. Universities and open source communities should organize more to curate datasets, train foundation models and build communities with fine-tunings as done with stable diffusion.
Good news for AI and the world, in my opinion.

Either way, it's a huge step forward in understanding how our brains work and could help create even better AI in the future.

Generative AI funding in Q1 already surpassed 2022 total by 4x. But it's crazy expensive to build AI companies ($500M for a model) - and Stability AI has already burned through much of their $100M raise.

A Reddit user on generative AI tools in the video game industry: "This will affect more than just China. I personally work in gaming. Lots of artists are scared."

If you haven’t learned to code, AI won’t get you from 0 to 1.
If you have, AI will get you from 1 to ♾️.

arXiv study shows GPT-4 outperforms elite crowdworkers, helping save a team of researchers $500,000 and 20k hours. Human labeling could go by the wayside soon at this pace of improvement.

GPTs are not GANs. They aren't trained to *talk like a human*. They're trained to *predict all the text on the Internet*.
Think about that for a second. Imagine yourself in a box, predicting those next words. Is that a task where performance caps out at human intelligence?
