SIGGRAPH 2023 just had a paper “ 3D Gaussian Splatting for Real-Time Radiance Field Rendering ” by Kerbl, Kopanas, Leimkühler, Drettakis, and it looks pretty cool! Check out their website, source code repository, data sets and so on (I should note that it is really, really good to see full source and full data sets…
Update (July 17, 2026): It’s three years since I wrote this article. It went viral and has been reshared and discussed. And curiously, AI…

An AI Public Service Announcement
Posted by Cheng-Yu Hsieh, Student Researcher, and Chen-Yu Lee, Research Scientist, Cloud AI Team Large language models (LLMs) have enabled a new da...
AlpacaEval an LLM-based automatic evaluation that is fast, cheap, and reliable. It is based on the AlpacaFarm evaluation set, which tests the ability of models to follow general user instructions. These responses are then compared to reference responses (Davinci003 for AlpacaEval, GPT-4 Preview for AlpacaEval 2.0) by…
The cult-like battles between e/acc and doomers
Dropbox added some new AI features. In the past couple of days these have attracted a firestorm of criticism. Benj Edwards rounds it up in Dropbox spooks users with new …
A new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine compared written responses from physicians with those from ChatGPT to real-world health questions. A panel of licensed healthcare professionals preferred ChatGPT’s responses 79% of the time.
IBM & open-source AI platform Hugging Face today announced that IBM's watsonx.ai geospatial foundation model – built from NASA's satellite data – will now be openly available on Hugging Face.
Safety leads everything we do at Waymo. This year alone, Waymo has served over 700,000 ride-hailing trips with public riders and no human driver. We couldn’t have hit that milestone without putting safety front and center, and we are working hard to improve the measurement, transparency, and performance of our fleet.
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.
tl;dr: OpenAI is testing the ability to run code and use third-party plugins in ChatGPT. OpenAI has announced that we’re developing plugins for ChatGPT that will extend its capabilities. [Link] Plu…
Fast and Portable Llama2 Inference on the Heterogeneous Edge.
TL;DR I’ve been working on a WebGPU optimized inference and autograd library called webgpu-torch with an API that matches PyTorch. The goal is to run neural networks in the browser at speeds comparable to a Linux workstation. Many kernels have been implemented and its design is easily extensible. It’s available on NPM…
A chatbot is the lazy user interface. It puts all the burden on the user to articulate good questions.
In collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), new research from Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard chair and co-founder Karim Lakhani and In collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), new research from Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard chair and co-founder Karim Lakhani and others involved…
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 …
We examine the Llama-2 models under 3 real-world use cases and show that fine-tuning yields significant accuracy improvements.
GPT4, the start of The Great Implementation, a move from Generative to Productive AI, OpenAI's safety & growth strategies, and the future of work.
A Cross-Section of the Most Relevant Literature To Get Up to Speed
This post is the second part of a multi-series blog focused on how to accelerate generative AI models with pure, native PyTorch. We are excited to share a breadth of...
Introducing new generative AI capabilities in Google Cloud and Google Workspace, plus PaLM API and MakerSuite for developers.
Stability AI has just announced the release of StableCode, its very first LLM generative AI product for coding. This product is designed to assist programmers with their daily work while also providing a great learning tool for new developers ready to take their skills to the next level.
This document will explain what neural networks are and how they work, which will help you understand how AI and machine learning work. In the scenario below you'll play the part of the neural network.
