🍎 Apple's Foray into the AI Chatbot Arena

Source: TechCrunch

The Rundown: Apple is reportedly developing AI tools to rival OpenAI, Google, and others. The tech giant has created a chatbot, internally referred to as "Apple GPT," and is currently testing it. The company has yet to finalize a strategy for releasing the technology to consumers but is aiming to make a significant AI-related announcement next year.

Key Points:

• Apple has built its own framework, codenamed "Ajax," to create large language models, similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard.

• The chatbot is being used internally for product prototyping, helping with tasks like summarizing text and answering questions based on the data it has been trained with.

• Apple's chatbot doesn't feature any additional features that separate it from what's currently commercially available.

• The company has been on the hunt for generative AI talent, posting several job listings on its career page seeking experts in generative AI.

Why It Matters: As companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta have released generative AI products to the public, Apple has remained somewhat quiet on the AI front. This development indicates that Apple is now looking to catch up with the consumer demand for generative AI tools that can assist with tasks like drafting essays and images.

🦙 Meta's Llama 2: A New Contender in the AI Landscape

The Rundown: Meta, in partnership with Microsoft, has introduced Llama 2, its next-generation open-source language model. This powerful model is expected to compete with OpenAI's GPT-4.

Key Points:

• Llama 2 was created within a research lab in Meta, by a team led by Yann LeCun, one of the founding fathers of neural networks.

• The model has been pre-trained on 40% more data than its predecessor and also has improvements to its architecture.

• Llama 2 has outperformed GPT-3 and is similar to ChatGPT in terms of chat model quality. However, it lacks the ability to code.

• Llama 2 will be available for commercial use when a product made using the model has over 700 million monthly active users.

Why It Matters: The introduction of Llama 2 signals a potential shift in the AI landscape. As an open-source model, Llama 2 can be accessed and tweaked by startups and other businesses to create their own AI products, potentially adding to the ever-increasing list of chatbots that can rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google Bard.

📚 Stanford Study Reveals a Dip in ChatGPT's Accuracy

The Rundown: A recent study from Stanford University found that ChatGPT's performance on certain tasks declined over time. The study compared the performance of the chatbot over several months at four diverse tasks: solving math problems, answering sensitive questions, generating software code, and visual reasoning.

Key Points:

• The study found wild fluctuations—called drift—in the technology’s ability to perform certain tasks.

• The most notable results came from research into GPT-4’s ability to solve math problems. Over the course of the study, GPT-4's accuracy in identifying that the number 17077 is a prime number dropped from 97.6% to 2.4%.

• The study also found that ChatGPT stopped explaining its reasoning for certain answers, making the technology less transparent.

Why It Matters: The results of this study highlight the importance of continuously monitoring the performance of AI models over time. It also underscores the need for transparency in AI, as understanding how these models arrive at certain answers is crucial for their improvement and for building trust with users.
