Simply explained: How does GPT work?
By now, you have probably heard of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, or any of the alternatives GPT-3, GPT-4, Microsoft’s Bing Chat, Facebook’s LLaMa or even Google’s Bard. They are artificial intelligence programs that can participate in a conversation. Impressively smart, they can easily be mistaken for humans, and are skilled in a…

An introduction to zero-knowledge machine learning
Zero-Knowledge machine learning (ZKML) is a field of research and development that has been making waves in cryptography circles recently. But what is it and why is it useful? First, let's break down the term into its two constituents and explain what they are.

AARON: AI Art Generator from 1973
Harold Cohen (1928 – 2016) explored AI and art for nearly 50 years before we saw the rising popularity of these new machine learning tools. In those five decades, Cohen worked on a single program called Aaron that involved teaching a robot to create drawings. Aaron’s education took a similar pa

Why TinyML is still so hard to get excited about
This week, I went to the tinyML Summit in Burlingame, Calif. TinyML, or running small machine learning models on constrained devices, is one of the most exciting technologies I’ve encountered. But it’s also the one most likely to put people to sleep when I talk about it. Using local computing to handle object or even…

Exploring Neural Graphics Primitives
Neural fields have quickly become an interesting and useful application of machine learning to computer graphics. The fundamental idea is quite straightforward: we can use neural models to represent all sorts of digital signals, including images, light fields, signed distance functions, and volumes.
