Deci Unveils DeciLM-7B: A Leap Forward in Language Model Performance and Inference Cost Efficiency
Deci, the deep learning company harnessing AI to build AI, unveiled the latest addition to its suite of innovative generative AI models, DeciLM-7B, a 7 billion parameter large language model. Building upon the success of its predecessor DeciLM 6B, DeciLM 7B is setting new benchmarks in the large language model (LLM) space, outperforming prominent open-source models such as Llama2 7B and Mistral 7B in both accuracy and efficiency.
Crafting Precision Content Using Large Language Models
[SPONSORED POST] Our friends over at DAC recently explored the potential of LLMs to interpret or generate text considering numerous parameters with extraordinary precision. They have demonstrated their ability to evaluate unstructured text blocks and grade them along various scales to great success. Additionally, they have been able to generate specific, tailored content using a complex series of instructions that can be tuned with precision to the same set of scales.
Hallucination Index Identifies Best LLMs for Most Popular AI Use Cases
Galileo, a leading machine learning (ML) company for unstructured data, released a Hallucination Index developed by its research arm, Galileo Labs, to help users of today’s leading LLMs determine which model is least likely to hallucinate for their intended application.
Generative AI Report – 12/6/2023
Welcome to the Generative AI Report round-up feature here on insideBIGDATA with a special focus on all the new applications and integrations tied to generative AI technologies. We’ve been receiving so many cool news items relating to applications and deployments centered on large language models (LLMs), we thought it would be a timely service for readers to start a new channel along these lines. The combination of a LLM, fine tuned on proprietary data equals an AI application, and this is what these innovative companies are creating. The field of AI is accelerating at such fast rate, we want to help our loyal global audience keep pace.
What is a RAG?
In this contributed article, Magnus Revang, Chief Product Officer of Openstream.ai, points out that In the Large Language Model space, one acronym is frequently put forward as the solution to all the weaknesses. Hallucinations? RAG. Privacy? RAG. Confidentiality? RAG. Unfortunately, when asked to define RAG, the definitions are all over the place.
Happy Birthday ChatGPT!
Today, November 30, 2023, mark’s the first anniversary of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. In the last year, the AI chatbot has secured support from major Silicon Valley companies and seen integration across various fields including academia, the arts, marketing, medicine, gaming, and government. These are exciting times, so we decided to put together this round-up of commentaries from around the big data ecosystem. Enjoy!
Sophos Anticipates AI-Based Attack Techniques and Prepares Detections
Sophos, a global leader in innovating and delivering cybersecurity as a service, released two reports about the use of AI in cybercrime. The first report—“The Dark Side of AI: Large-Scale Scam Campaigns Made Possible by Generative AI”—demonstrates how, in the future, scammers could leverage technology like ChatGPT to conduct fraud on a massive scale with minimal technical skills.
Altair® Launches Altair RapidMiner® 2023 Platform To Deliver Next-Gen Gen AI Capabilities
Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), a global leader in computational science and artificial intelligence (AI) announced that Altair® RapidMiner®, its data analytics and AI platform, is becoming more integrated, more powerful, and easier to use thanks to a new series of groundbreaking updates.
Comet Launches Course on Building with LLMs
Comet, a leading MLOps platform, launched of a new initiative to help data scientists and software engineers keep pace with the changing world of Large Language Models (LLMs) and all of the possibilities they can enable. In a new course, taught by co-founder of DAIR.AI, Elvis Saravia, Comet breaks down the process of building LLMs for the real world with practical examples and use cases, such as how to build a reliable customer support chatbot, how to construct a clickbait detector from scratch, and how to deploy an LLM-powered evaluation system.
