Dropbox faces backlash after enabling a default setting that shares user data with OpenAI for AI-powered search, but assures data is only shared when actively used and is deleted within 30 days. CEO Drew Houston apologizes for customer confusion and emphasizes that no customer data is automatically sent to third-party AI services.
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.
This article explores the importance of classical computation in the context of artificial intelligence, highlighting its provable correctness, strong generalization, and interpretability compared to the limitations of deep neural networks. It argues that developing AI systems with these classical computation skills is crucial for building generally-intelligent agents.
Large language models (LLMs) like GPT NeoX and Pythia are gaining popularity, with billions of parameters and impressive performance. Training these models on AWS Trainium is cost-effective and efficient, thanks to optimizations like rotational positional embedding (ROPE) and partial rotation techniques.
