Voicebox is a state-of-the-art speech generative model based on a new method proposed by Meta AI called Flow Matching. By learning to solve a text-guided speech infilling task with a large scale of data, Voicebox outperforms single-purpose AI models across speech tasks through in-context learning.
What will happen to GPT-{n} once LLMs contribute much of the language found online? We find that use of model-generated content in training causes irreversible defects in the resulting models, where tails of the original content distribution disappear. We refer to this effect as Model Collapse and show that it can…
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Midjournery are able to replicate (and often exceed) human-like performance on tasks like taking exams, generating text and making art.
There are many futuristic possibilities for how AI might transform healthcare. But it can help doctors do a better job in small, safe ways…
When integrating LLMs in your products, you often want to generate structured data, like JSONs. With the help of function calling (released June 13th 2023), this process has become much simpler! In this post I will explore the new API. Thanks for reading Simon’s Substack! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and…
Interpreting Reddit's API changes in light of how it serves OpenAI.
We’re announcing updates including more steerable API models, function calling capabilities, longer context, and lower prices.
Writing drafts via retrieval-augmented generation. Also reflecting on the week's journal entries.

Text-to-image diffusion models can create stunning images from natural language descriptions that rival the work of professional artists and photographers. However, these models are large, with complex network architectures and tens of denoising iterations, making them computationally expensive and slow to run. As a…

Non-proliferation only benefits incumbents
Large language models seem just like humans, but some of this is in our heads.
Wolfram expands Notebooks, integrating LLM functionality into the new chat cell and Chat Notebook. Stephen Wolfram explains how chat-enabled and chat-driven versions work.
Another question might be; why do machine learning at all? I'm not big into ML/AI though I've been poking it more recently as the open models, such as Stable Diffusion and the more practical Whisper, caught my curiosity. I have a very decent GPU (3090 Ti) and I've poked around a bit. I don't consider ML a super…
Large language models such as GPT-3/4, LLaMA and PaLM work in terms of tokens. They take text, convert it into tokens (integers), then predict which tokens should come next. Playing …
AI-powered browser extensions come with alarming security risks, but most companies still don't have policies for how their employees can use them.
The new version of Vivaldi on Android, tablets, and Chromebooks masquerades as competitors to benefit its users and lets users access Bing Chat.
Two improvements are launching in Bard to help you get more accurate responses and export to Google Sheets.
When Stock Performer started in 2010, there were a lot of complaints that the stock industry was dying. The rush of the agencies to implement subscription models, triggered mostly by Shutterstock’s success, led to a lot of uncertainty about photographers’ income. After all, customers were able to buy images for mere…

Neural Radiance Field training can be accelerated through the use of grid-based representations in NeRF's learned mapping from spatial coordinates to colors and volumetric density. However, these grid-based approaches lack an explicit understanding of scale and therefore often introduce aliasing, usually in the form…
We are thrilled to introduce Argilla Feedback, completely open-source and designed to enhance the performance, safety and reliability of Large Language Models.
One of the most common concerns I see about large language models regards their training data. People are worried that anything they say to ChatGPT could be memorized by it …
GM’s Cruise aims to turn self-driving into a billion-dollar business.
Last week I had the privilege to sit down with Sam Altman and 20 other developers to discuss OpenAI’s product plans. Sam was remarkably open. The discussion touched on practical developer issues as well as bigger-picture questions related to OpenAI’s mission and the societal impact of AI. Here are the key takeaways.
Posted by Petros Maniatis and Daniel Tarlow, Research Scientists, Google Software isn’t created in one dramatic step. It improves bit by bit, one l...
I trained a BERT model (Devlin et al, 2019) from scratch on my desktop PC (which has a Nvidia 3060 Ti 8GB GPU). The model architecture, tokenizer, and trainer all came from Hugging Face libraries, and my contribution was mainly setting up the code, setting up the data (~20GB uncompressed text), and leaving my computer…
