Hello, Starters!
We're not running out of new tools to try, as the AI scene keeps improving and more offerings keep surfacing. One thing is for sure: some leading models have to be on the lookout if they don't want to lose their spot at the top!
Here’s what you’ll find today:
Ideogram’s latest text-to-image model is here
Improving LLMs' reasoning abilities through prompts
AI21 has unveiled Jamba 1.5
Google introduces its "Prompt Gallery"
These two CEOs are unsure of the EU’s AI rules
And more.
Image generation continues to be one of the fastest-growing areas of AI, with plenty of tools to choose from. Ideogram has made the move with a new iteration of its text-to-image model. Ideogram 2.0 is available for free and showcases enhanced image-text alignment, accuracy, and five new image styles.
Besides this, the company has also launched an iOS app and a beta API. Users can opt for premium features through their multiple subscription plans. It is noteworthy that the model, allegedly, outshines similar competitors, like Midjourney and DALL-E 3.
Research from China's Guilin University of Electronic Technology has introduced a technique based on the GSM8K dataset that allows large language models to filter irrelevant information and subsequently improve their reasoning process.
The GSMIR dataset has been tested with GPT-3.5-Turbo and GPT-3.5-Turbo-16k. Researchers intentionally fed irrelevant sentences into a series of elementary school maths problems, and both models were able to identify them 74.9% of the time through the "Analysis to Filtration Prompting" (ATF) method.
🤖 AI21 has unveiled Jamba 1.5 (2 min)
A combination of transformers and the Structured State Space (SSM) model approach has brought Jamba 1.5 to life. This model, developed by AI21, is an upgraded version of the one they showcased in March, and it includes Jamba 1.5 Mini and Jamba 1.5 large build.
Jamba 1.5 stands out as both of the models have a large context window (256K), which makes them a perfect fit for the development of agentic AI systems. Also, they're available under an open licence, suiting enterprises and developers alike.
🖼️Putting more tools in the hands of developers, Google has added a new feature to their AI Studio platform. Prompt Gallery, as they decided to call it, is integrated with pre-built prompts that get the most out of their Gemini models, covering a broad range of applications, like coding, productivity tools, and even a maths tutor.
🏎️Mark Zuckerberg and Daniel Ek, from Meta and Spotify respectively, have shared their thoughts on Europe's AI regulations. Earlier this year, rules were drafted to be applied to AI, ensuring its safe and responsible development. However, both CEOs believe these regulations can have an impact on the growing landscape of open-source.
