AGI threat level yellow – AGI part 10
Read two articles this past week on how LLMs applications are proliferating. The first was in a recent Scientific American, AI Chatbot brains are going inside robot bodies, … (maybe behind login wall). The articles discuss companies that are adding LLMs to robots so that they can converse and understand verbal orders. Robots that can…
Keep readingBlockchain Compute cloud
Over the past year or so I’ve been hearing a lot about a new use of blockchain technology to deploy a compute cloud. In the old days, mining crypto would reward you for doing the work. But over time, it’s become harder to mine and to make money from crypto. Specialized hardware took over more…
Keep readingDeepMind takes on Geometry, AGI part-9
Read an article in MIT Tech Review (Google’s DeepMind’s new AI systems can solve complex geometry problems) about AlphaGeometry which is a new AI tool that DeepMind has come up with that can be used to solve geometry problems. The article was referring to a Nature article (Solving olympiad geometry without human demonstrations) about the…
Keep readingComputational (DNA) storage – end of evolution part 4
We were at a recent Storage Field Day (SFD26) where there was a presentation on DNA storage, a new SNIA technical affiliate. The talk there was on how far DNA storage has come and is capable of easily storing GB of data. But I was perusing PNAS archives the other day and ran across an…
Keep readingopen source AGI or not – AGI part 8
Read a recent article in the NY Times, An industry insider drives an open alternative to big tech’s AI, about the Allen Institute for AI releasing a massive corpus of data, Dolma: 3 Trillion Token Open Corpus for Language Model Pre-trainning, that can be used to train LLM’s, available to be downloaded from HuggingFace. The…
Keep readingAI benchmark for Storage, MLpERF Storage
MLperf released their first round of storage benchmark submissions early this month. There’s plenty of interest how much storage is required to keep GPUs busy for AI work. As a result, MLperf has been busy at work with storage vendors to create a benchmark suitable to compare storage systems under a “simulated” AI workload. For…
Keep readingOne agent to rule them all, Deepmind’s Gato – AGI part 7
I was perusing Deepmind’s mountain of research today and ran across one article on their Gato agent (A Generalist Agent abstract, paper pdf). These days with Llama 2, GPT-4 and all the other LLM’s doing code, chatbots, image generation, etc. it seems generalist agents are everywhere. But that’s not quite right. Gato can not only…
Keep readingMLperf results show H100 v A100 and v Habana Gaudi2 GPUs
MLCommons recently released new MLperf data center training results. The headlines for the relaese was that they added new GPT-3 data center training results but what I found more interesting was there was a plethora of H100 and A100 results on the same training runs which allowed me to compare the two NVIDIA GPUs in…
Keep readingDeepmind does sort
Saw an article today on TNW on DeepMind’s new AI taps games to enhance fundamental algorithms which was discussing a recent Nature paper Faster sorting algorithms discovered using deep reinforcement learning and website, which described AlphaDev. Google DeepMind’s AlphaDev is a derivative of AlphaZero (follow on from AlphaMu and AlphaGo, the conquerer of Go and…
