It was a pleasure to be part of the @rootcode_ai event on the future of AI hosted by Dubai Future Foundation. Our Maitha Alsuwaidi discussed Microsoft's impactful AI initiatives about governance & growth and how we're pioneering AI strategies that shape the future.

Did You know ? Generative models are now being put to the test, allowing Non-Playable Characters (NPCs) to respond to your questions in the game! Ask anything, and these NPCs will use AI to generate answers, making your gaming experience more interactive! #AI #Gaming #NPCs

The new 70 Q-bit quantum computer by @GoogleQuantumAI has performed a calculation that would take #Frontier (the largest supercomputer) 47 years. This is a massive milestone in scaling up Q-bits and bringing quantum computers for practical use. #AI thequantuminsider.com/2023/0…

One of the most underrated use-cases of AI is in optimizing supply chains. Not a fancy #LLM usecase but can definitely optimize global trade at a macro-scale reducing costs along with carbon footprint. #AI #supplychain

Yesterday @OpenAI dropped one of the largest updates to it's APIs including a #GPT-3.5 variation with 16k context length, reduced prices and a new functionality called "Function Calling" which can potentially replace @langchain 's tools functionality. openai.com/blog/function-cal…

Have you heard about @karpathy's nanoGPT repo? It's making waves in the machine-learning community and is definitely worth checking out. It's just as impressive as @jnd1er's "The Design of Everyday Things" in the design community #AI #LLM #GPT4
The train.py file in Karpathy's nanoGPT is a marvel. It does everything right, exactly the opposite of what you were taught in school. Global variables at the top, tons of top-level code (no main), a big while True github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT/…

While most effort in the #AI #research is being put into improving the transformer architecture, parallelism is a core enabler to train large transformer models at scale. This paper by @MSFTResearch introduces a new library to do just that. #pytorch paperswithcode.com/paper/tor…

Very excited this has been accepted @LogConference and I can freely talk about what I have been during over the summer at @DeepMind. This is my last paper as a PhD student, and I am happy that the final chord was a major one. I had fun and learnt a lot from these amazing people!

Strategic communication and negotiation is a task that even humans struggle to apply effectively, #CICERObyMetaAI is a fascinating model which has achieved human level performance in a game that is linguistically strategic.

Historically this has been a repeating pattern in the evolution of #AI where one approach is over prioritized and hyped so much to the point that it indefinitely fails. Guess it's the same pattern now with larger models with only more neurons #DeepLearning #MachineLearning

The deep learning mega-engineering narratives ("we're going to solve every problem with a giant multi-modal 100 trillion parameter model trained on all human data", etc.) remind me of Cyc. But with a lot more funding.

Historically #DeepLearning has been going through these phases of low attention. But although some approaches like supervised learning cannot scale to achieve #AGI. That does not mean deep learning as a whole is in demise. #AI #MachineLearning

Rumors of Deep Leaning's demise are greatly exaggerated. In fact, rumors of a mere "rough week" for deep learning are completely unfounded.
