Anthropic Launches Claude 3.5. Ilya Sutskever’s New Safe Superintelligence Company, SSI. The AI Interview of the Week
Hi, AI Futurists!
For those of us who had been using Google Translate for many years, something radical happened in 2017. All of a sudden, translations were considerably more accurate. Google announced a breakthrough in AI development, but most of us ignored it.
However, that breakthrough paved the way for today’s LLMs or GenAI, which created the AI age. That breakthrough was the transformer model developed by Google Brain scientists.
You can read the scientific paper on transformer models written by Google scientists here. Simply put, the transformer model uses self-attention to process text in parallel, understanding context better than previous models. This efficiency and scalability enabled the creation of today’s large language models (LLMs), like GPT-3 and beyond.
OpenAI, led by its chief AI scientist Ilya Sutskever, who was a PhD student of Geoffrey Hinton (the leader of Google’s AI team), used the transformer model to build GPT. Even though Google’s AI experience and development were superior, they didn’t push the button to activate and commercialize it. OpenAI became the AI leader using Google’s technology. What a turn of events!
Without further ado, let’s get started.
