Conway’s Game of Life is Omniperiodic arxiv.org/abs/2312.02799 “In the theory of cellular automata, an oscillator is a pattern that repeats itself after a fixed number of generations; that number is called its period. A cellular automaton is called omniperiodic if there exist oscillators of all periods. At the turn of the millennium, only twelve oscillator periods remained to be found in Conway's Game of Life. The search has finally ended, with the discovery of oscillators having the final two periods, 19 and 41, proving that Life is omniperiodic. Besides filling in the missing periods, we give a detailed history of the omniperiodicity problem and the strategies used to solve it, summarising the work of a large number of people in the decades since the creation of Life.”

Gemini is a line of 3 AI models -- the largest one (Ultra) scores better than GPT-4V across a wide range of text & multimodal benchmarks. It is also the first model to outperform human experts on MMLU. The Pro version (smaller) is already available in Bard. Gemini Ultra will be available as an API early next year for developers and the enterprise market. Announcement: deepmind.google/technologies… Technical report: storage.googleapis.com/deepm…

imo #stablediffusion release today is a day of historic proportion for human creativity, with so much human visual creativity bottled up into one accessible artifact. Big part of a phase shift into an era of human+AI art collab that we’ve just barely scratched the surface of.
Delighted to announce the public open source release of #StableDiffusion! Please see our release post and retweet! stability.ai/blog/stable-dif… Proud of everyone involved in releasing this tech that is the first of a series of models to activate the creative potential of humanity

I can't be the only one noticing that Putin's response to failure in Ukraine is extremely Trumpian. 1. Deny that anything has gone wrong 2. Insist that your own decisions have always been perfect 3. Whine about cancel culture Tough guys, both

I realized this morning that the same number of years have now passed since the Transformer paper came out as between the AlexNet paper and the Transformer paper. Definitely makes me feel my age a bit...

Perceiver. Being able to treat every modality as a sequence of bytes has been a personal deep learning dream. Perceiver is a transformer-derived architecture proposing a few modifications to achieve this. Papers: arxiv.org/abs/2103.03206 & arxiv.org/abs/2107.14795

Sharing "The Benchmark Lottery" from @GoogleAI & @DeepMind. In this meta-paper (arxiv.org/abs/2107.07002), we examine the challenges of ML benchmarking (e.g., model comparisons) and how it affects long-term progress. 1/

TorchShard is a lightweight engine for slicing a PyTorch tensor into parallel shards. It can reduce GPU memory and scale up the training when the model has massive linear layers or huge classes. Read more below: medium.com/pytorch/torchshar…

How neat would it be if your game’s AI could learn to collaborate on its own? What if we told you... it already can! Presenting the DodgeBall environment, our latest #MLAgents demo with cooperative agents trained through reinforcement learning 🧠 ⬇️ on.unity.com/3kfSbap
