Comical Anthropic, is that real?

"In a comical case of irony, Anthropic, a leading developer of artificial intelligence models, is asking applicants to its open job roles to certify that they will not use AI in the application process."

Three models now pass my Lem Test on the first try: Claude 3.5 Sonnet, o1-pro and now Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking (though o1-pro has the strongest verse and Flash Thinking the weakest)

Everything else fails, including DeepSeek r1, o3-mini-high, and Gemini 2.0 Pro

Not an easy chart to read, but worth spending a minute on. It tells you a few key things:
1) Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking sets a new high in price-performance, better than DeepSeek r1 (on ELO) and cheaper
2) The cost of GPT-4 capability dropped 1,000 fold in 18 months
3) Pace of improvement is swift

To help robots execute open-ended, multi-step chores, MIT CSAIL researchers used vision models to see what’s near the machine & model its constraints. An LLM sketches up a plan that’s checked in a simulator to ensure it’s safe & realistic, potentially aiding household robots: bit.ly/3ZNJWXj

Been waiting for someone to test this and see if it works - can multiple AI agents fact-checking each other reduce hallucinations?

The answer appears to be yes - using 3 agents with a structured review process reduced hallucination scores by 96% across 310 test cases. arxiv.org/pdf/2501.13946

OpenAI’s deep research is very good. Unlike Google’s version, which is mostly a good summarizer of many sources, OpenAI is more like engaging an opinionated (often almost PhD-level!) researcher who follows lead.

Look at how it hunts down a concept in the literature (& works around problems)

Excellent podcast with Nikhil Kamath in which we cover a lot of topics related to AI and deep learning.

Another thing to be thankful for: the use of AI to help improve climate change models.

Jürgen Schmidhuber queria crear un científico artificial más inteligente que uno humano. Sus algoritmos no fueron valorados. Hasta ahora. Cree que la I.A. se expandirá por el universo, después de mejorar la vida en la tierra. youtu.be/Q6BclIP5QBQ?...
