Preventing AI Hallucination: Harnessing Pinecone Vector Database & Llama-2 for Retrieval Augmented Generation

LLMs like Llama 2, Flan T5, and Bloom are essential for conversational AI use cases, but updating their knowledge requires retraining, which is time-consuming and expensive. However, with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) using Amazon Sagemaker JumpStart and Pinecone vector database, LLMs can be deployed and kept up to date with relevant information to prevent AI Hallucination.

From Words to Reality: The Rise of Text-to-CAD Generation

The rise of AI-powered text-to-image generation has resulted in a flood of low-quality images, causing skepticism and misdirection. However, a new phenomenon of AI-powered text-to-CAD generation has emerged, with major players like Autodesk, Google, OpenAI, and NVIDIA leading the way.

Unleashing the Power of Language Models: Automatic Summarization Techniques

Summarization is essential in our data-driven world, saving time and improving decision-making. It has various applications, including news aggregation, legal document summarization, and financial analysis. With advancements in NLP and AI, techniques like extractive and abstractive summarization are becoming more accessible and effective.

Mixtral 8x7B: The French AI Challenger to OpenAI

Mistral AI announces Mixtral 8x7B, an AI language model that matches OpenAI's GPT-3.5 in performance, bringing us closer to having a ChatGPT-3.5-level AI assistant that can run locally. Mistral's models have open weights and fewer restrictions than those from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google.

Revolutionizing Accessibility: SiBORG Lab's Innovative Approach with OpenUSD and NVIDIA Omniverse

Mathew Schwartz, an assistant professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, is using NVIDIA Omniverse and OpenUSD to help designers address the challenge of accessibility in building design. Schwartz's team developed open-source code that generates a complex accessibility graph, providing feedback on human movement and energy expenditure. With Omniverse, designers can visualize the graph...
