Llama 3 feels significantly less censored than its predecessor
Compared to Llama 2, Llama 3 feels much less censored. Meta has substantially lowered false refusal rates. Llama 3 will refuse less than 1/3 of the prompts previously refused by Llama 2.
StableLM Zephyr 3B
StableLM Zephyr 3B is a new chat model representing the latest iteration in our series of lightweight LLMs, preference tuned for instruction following and Q&A-type tasks.
Reaching new records in speech recognition
IBM Watson Speech to Text converts audio into accurate text, enabling real-time transcription, captions and insights with scalable AI APIs.
Visual Studio’s IntelliSense list can now steer GitHub Copilot code completions
GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio now works with IntelliSense. v1.85 or above is needed, users may need to manually update.
Can LLMs model real-world systems in TLA+?
Editors’ note: AI has been actively pushing the frontier of applied formal methods for computing systems. In this article, the Specula team wrote about their experience of evaluating LLMs on modeling system code, the basic capability for agentic model checking, using TLA+, a specification language f
Batch computing and the coming age of AI systems
There’s a lot of excitement right now about human-in-the-loop systems supercharged by foundation models including chat assistants ( ChatGPT ), word processing ( Microsoft Office ), graphic design ( Stable Diffusion ), and code editing ( Copilot ). However, these systems only begin to scratch the surface of the role…

ChatGPT's image generator can be manipulated to produce violent, sexual content
Mindgard reveals how ChatGPT's image generation safety filters can be bypassed with minor prompt adjustments, producing graphic violent and sexual content without users directly asking for it. Here's what was found, and why it matters.
Planning for AGI and Beyond
Our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence—AI systems that are generally smarter than humans—benefits all of humanity.
LLM-generated code must not be committed without prior written approval by core
If you are not sure if the code you plan to commit is acceptable (e. g. when taking code that was submitted with a problem report), ask a developer who is familiar with that part of the system for review. If you're new to the Project, check with your sponsor.

AI’s compute fragmentation: what matrix multiplication teaches us
AI is powered by a virtuous circle of data, algorithms (“models”), and compute. Growth in one pushes needs in the others and can grossly affect the developer experience on aspects like usability and performance. Today, we have more data and more AI model research than ever before, but compute isn’t scaling at the same…
Visual Reasoning Is Coming Soon
From silly cat costumes to world-changing innovations, OpenAI's latest release marks the beginning of something extraordinary. The fascinating world of visual reasoning is emerging, where AI models will soon think in pictures and solve complex spatial puzzles, transforming how machines understand and interact with the…
