🤯 OpenAI now wants to build 'Superintelligence'

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in his blog: “We are beginning to turn our aim beyond that, to superintelligence in the true sense of the word. ... With superintelligence, we can do anything else. Superintelligent tools could massively accelerate scientific discovery and innovation well beyond what we can do on our own, and in turn, massively increase abundance and prosperity.”

Insights for you:

• Sam Altman says OpenAI is confident they know how to build AGI and now they're aiming for superintelligence.

• Basically, ASI (Artificial Superintelligence) is the next level from AGI with an intellectual scope beyond human intelligence. Such AI systems will have advanced cognitive functions and problem-solving capabilities.

• He also said that the company now knows how to build AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and such ‘AI Agents’ will be available in the market this year. AI agents can autonomously understand complex goals, make decisions, and take actions with minimal human intervention.

AI Research
💾 Running AI Models on an Old Windows 98 Computer

EXO Labs, an organization formed by Oxford University researchers, has demonstrated running a powerful AI language model, Meta’s Llama, on a Windows 98 machine. This model was based on Andrej Karpathy's Llama2.c code.

Insights for you:

• EXO Labs ran Llama on Windows 98 and demonstrated a powerful LLM running on a 26-year-old Windows 98 Pentium II PC in a brief video on social media.

• Against all odds, the computer managed to generate a coherent story on command. It did it at a decent speed, too, which is usually difficult with AI models run locally.

• They managed to sustain a performance of 39.31 tokens per second running a Llama-based LLM with 260,000 parameters.

AI Innovation
🖥️ The world's first open-source semiconductor-focused LLM is here

Researchers from Meta, AITOMATIC, and other collaborators under the Foundation Models workgroup of the AI Alliance have introduced SemiKong. SemiKong represents the world’s first semiconductor-focused large language model (LLM), designed using the Llama 3.1 platform.

Insights for you:

• SemiKong is a specialized AI model tailored exclusively for the semiconductor industry, equipped with data that pertains specifically to the design, manufacture, and fabrication of semiconductor devices.

• According to internal testing, SemiKong can drastically reduce chipset design time: It can cut the time to market for new chip designs by 20-30%.

• The model has four variants: SemiKong-8B, SemiKong-70B, SemiKong-8B Instruct, and SemiKong-70B Instruct.
