Latest Developments 🌍

Transform One Frame, Watch the Whole Video Change 🎥

Introducing CoDeF: a game-changer in video representation! It captures static content from an entire video and records frame-by-frame changes. Imagine tweaking just one image and having those changes ripple seamlessly through an entire video. From enhancing video quality to tracking the movement of water and smog, CoDeF does it all with unmatched consistency.

ReST: Refining Language Models with Human Touch 🫰

In the realm of language models, aligning outputs with human preferences still remains a challenge. To overcome this challenge, DeepMind researchers introduced ReST(Reinforced Self-Training), a reinforcement learning approach that takes an existing model, produces a dataset, and subsequently refines it offline. This method not only optimizes the efficiency of the training process but also emphasizes data reuse. Preliminary tests indicate a marked improvement in machine translation quality.

SQLCoder: Generate SQL like a Pro 😙

Introducing SQLCoder, an opensource LLM that surpasses OpenAI's gpt-3.5-turbo in handling SQL schemas within Postgres. Its design allows for operation on high-end GPUs, and in a move towards transparency, the team has released an open-source testing framework for SQL.

When AI meets Music 🤖 🤝 🎶

YouTube is teaming up with big music labels like Universal Music Group to navigate the emerging world of AI-generated tunes. They're working on rules for AI-made music, balancing copyright concerns with creator innovations. The goal? Harness AI's potential while ensuring artists and songwriters maintain their creative rights and get fair compensation.

India's Big Digital Leap: Talking Payments 💰

India to soon introduce voice-based payments through the Universal Payments Interface (UPI). With this initiative, people in rural areas with limited internet can simply 'tell' their phones to make a payment. Despite some hurdles like diverse languages and internet accessibility, the aim is clear: Making digital transactions as natural as a chat between friends.

Tools of the Trade ⚒️

• GodMode: Chat browser that helps you quickly access for free the full webapps of ChatGPT, Claude 2, Perplexity, Bing and more.

• Cursor: AI-powered code editor for faster software development, with tailored code answers, documentation references, AI-assisted coding, bug scanning.

• MaxAI: Chrome extension making available AI chatbots available on any website for various tasks like composing, summarizing, replying, and more.

• Kypso: AI to help teams manage projects, make efficient decisions, prevent scope issues, share progress, and customize operations.

• Artefacts: Transforms images into unique high resolution 3D models in less than 10 minutes.

Hot Takes 🔥

• It is pretty funny that we don't know if being nice to LLMs results in better answers, and under what circumstances. And, even if it does, whether it matters if we are superficially nice ("please") or more genuinely nice ("I really like your work so far, but have a suggestion") ~ Ethan Mollick

• We should make the most out of chatting with computers while we can. Before you know it they won’t want to talk to us any more. ~ Bojan Tunguz
