Recently, a new study has shown that engaging in less than 10 minutes of conversation with a chatbot can effectively reduce people's beliefs in certain deeply held conspiracy theories, such as rumors surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was led by a team from MIT, where the researchers specifically designed a highly persuasive AI model—ChatGPT—to individually refute the conspiracy claims of participants through personalized dialogue. In this experiment, the researchers recruited over 2,000 individuals who self-identified as conspiracy believers.

Recently, OpenAI launched its latest series of artificial intelligence models, o1, which have demonstrated very advanced capabilities in certain logical tasks. As a result, the company has conducted a cautious assessment of its potential risks. Based on both internal and external evaluations, OpenAI classified the o1 model as 'medium risk'. Why is there such a risk rating? Firstly, the o1 model exhibits human-like reasoning capabilities, able to generate text that is as persuasive as arguments written by humans on the same topic. This persuasive ability is not

Recently, several universities in Hong Kong and China have teamed up with Tencent to develop an AI model called GameGen-O, specifically designed for creating simulations in open-world video games. GameGen-O's capabilities extend beyond generating high-quality game content; it also simulates features from various game engines, capable of creating a diverse range of game elements such as character dynamics, complex actions, and various events.

Recently, Google announced the launch of a new open-source AI model, DataGemma, aimed at addressing the 'hallucination' problem that large language models (LLMs) often encounter when handling statistical data. This hallucination phenomenon causes the model to potentially provide inaccurate answers to questions related to numbers and statistics. The release of the DataGemma model marks a significant advancement for Google in the field of AI. Image source note: Image generated by AI, image licensed by service provider Midjourney to reduce hallucinations during statistical queries.

Sequoia Capital partner Pat Grady stated that future billion-dollar AI companies are more likely to emerge from application software rather than foundational model development. Although Sequoia has invested about $150 million in foundational models like OpenAI and xAI, its application layer investments are significantly higher. Grady emphasized the need for AI startups to design products atop models to meet market demands, expressing optimism abo....

Biotech startup Chai Discovery has launched the AI model Chai-1, aimed at predicting molecular structures to aid drug development. This model surpasses Google's DeepMind AlphaFold in accuracy and has been supported by OpenAI and Thrive Capital. Chai-1's free web interface and open-source code encourage non-commercial research. The model excels in predicting various types of molecules, particularly demonstrating unexpected accuracy when data is incomplete, contributing significantly to drug development.

OpenAI is preparing to release its latest AI model named 'Strawberry', expected to go live on ChatGPT in two weeks. This model is designed as a reasoning model that solves complex problems through multi-step reasoning, capable of handling tasks such as answering difficult algebra questions or designing marketing campaigns that typically take months. It's worth noting that 'Strawberry' only supports text processing, unlike the flagship model GPT-4 which has image and audio processing capabilities. However, the model may have slower response times.

The US Department of Commerce has proposed reporting requirements for companies developing cutting-edge AI models and firms providing infrastructure, in response to the Biden administration's executive order on 'safe, reliable, and trustworthy artificial intelligence development and usage.' Key elements of the new regulations include: AI models with over 10^26 integer or floating-point operations must report, with the threshold for biological sequence data models set at 10^23; there is a requirement to disclose model capabilities, information security protections, and red team testing results to ensure AI technologies meet safety standards, protecting against cyberattacks and misuse by non-state actors.

OpenAI's Sora Video AI model is currently in the research stage, with its original release date delayed. This is mainly due to ongoing communications with policymakers, cautious considerations regarding safety risks, and technical challenges leading to high costs. Sora faces legal risks concerning training data and it is yet to be confirmed whether YouTube data has been used. Additionally, OpenAI is actively collaborating with Hollywood, testing the model with several individuals, including Ashton Kutcher, to explore its potential applications in the film industry.

Tesla's founder Elon Musk refuted media reports on social platform X regarding a revenue-sharing agreement between Tesla and his AI company xAI. This agreement was said to enhance Tesla's self-driving software, develop a voice assistant, and software for Tesla's humanoid robot Optimus. Musk stated that Tesla indeed received assistance from interactions with xAI, which accelerated the realization of unsupervised FSD, but there is no need to license anything from xAI. He emphasized that xAI's models are too large to be integrated into Tesla.

Fluxgym is a new training tool aimed at AI enthusiasts, designed to lower the barriers to model training. It has extremely low hardware requirements, needing only 12GB of VRAM to conduct AI model training, significantly expanding the participant base. By combining a simple front-end with a powerful back-end, Fluxgym provides an easy-to-use interface, allowing users to initiate the training process in just three simple steps. Its core advantages lie in support for low-spec devices, a simplified user interface, and a smooth training process, enabling AI newcomers to get started quickly.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk denied reports from The Wall Street Journal regarding a revenue-sharing agreement between Tesla and the artificial intelligence startup xAI. Musk emphasized that while Tesla has gained valuable insights from discussions with xAI engineers that help accelerate the implementation of unsupervised FSD, there is no need to obtain any permissions from xAI. He pointed out that the xAI models are too large to run on Tesla's inference computers. xAI, founded by Musk, aims to compete with OpenAI and plans to use data from its various companies to train models and improve technology.
