Mistral bets on ‘build-your-own AI’ as it takes on OpenAI, Anthropic in the enterprise

Most enterprise AI projects fail not because companies lack the technology, but because the models they’re using don’t understand their business. The models are often trained on the internet, rather than decades of internal documents, workflows, and institutional knowledge.  That gap is where Mistral, the French AI startup, sees opportunity. On Tuesday, the company announced … Read more

Google Cloud’s VP for startups on reading your ‘check engine light’ before it’s too late

Startup founders are being pushed to move faster than ever, using AI while facing tighter funding, rising infrastructure costs, and more pressure to show real traction early. Cloud credits, access to GPUs, and foundation models have made it easier to get started, but those early infrastructure choices can have unforeseen consequences once startups move beyond … Read more

Balancing Training, Quantization, And Hardware Integration In NPUs

Experts At The Table: AI/ML is driving a steep ramp in neural processing unit (NPU) design activity for everything from data centers to edge devices such as PCs and smartphones. Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss this with Jason Lawley, director of product marketing, AI IP at Cadence; Sharad Chole, chief scientist and co-founder at … Read more

Are AI Agents Ready to Take Over Human Work?

Highlights A Carnegie Mellon study shows that AI agents are not ready for work in the real world. While large language models can be good at narrow tasks like coding, they struggle to do simple things like close a pop-up window. … Source link

Apple to Tap User Data for LLM Training

Apple is planning to analyze user data to improve its large language model (LLM) software while upholding user privacy. The company has been using synthetic data to train its artificial intelligence (AI) models but has found that method to be ineffective, Apple wrote in a Monday (April 14) blog post. Now, Apple will still use … Read more

Silicon Valley Startup Inception Labs Creates Faster LLM

A Silicon Valley startup founded by professors from Stanford, UCLA and Cornell has created a new type of large language model that they say is faster, cheaper and higher quality than existing models. Inception Labs developed diffusion large language models that use a technique normally applied to images, audio and video — and deployed it … Read more

Google’s AI ‘Co-Scientist’ Helps Unearth Research Ideas

Scientific discovery is often a laborious, multi-step process that involves making observations, forming a hypothesis, conducting experiments, analyzing the data and drawing conclusions. One of the hardest steps in the process is coming up with a new idea to test. Now, Google has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can help scientists formulate new … Read more

AI isn’t very good at history, new paper finds

AI might excel at certain tasks like coding or generating a podcast. But it struggles to pass a high-level history exam, a new paper has found. A team of researchers has created a new benchmark to test three top large language models (LLMs) — OpenAI’s GPT-4, Meta’s Llama, and Google’s Gemini — on historical questions. … Read more
