LLM Powered Autonomous Agents
Building agents with LLM (large language model) as its core controller is a cool concept. Several proof-of-concepts demos, such as AutoGPT, GPT-Engineer and BabyAGI, serve as inspiring examples. The potentiality of LLM extends beyond generating well-written copies, stories, essays and programs; it can be framed as a…

RoboCat – A Self-Improving Robotic Agent
Robots are quickly becoming part of our everyday lives, but they’re often only programmed to perform specific tasks well. While harnessing recent advances in AI could lead to robots that could help in many more ways, progress in building general-purpose robots is slower in part because of the time needed to collect…

AI: First New UI Paradigm in 60 Years?
AI is introducing the third user-interface paradigm in computing history, shifting to a new interaction mechanism where users tell the computer what they want, not how to do it — thus reversing the locus of control.

Voicebox: Generative AI model for speech that generalizes across tasks
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.

AI has poisoned its own well
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…
