Your Weekly Pinch of AI Insights

If you are a Needler, you know how good I am getting at predicting things that could happen in AI space this year, guess what.. my second prediction, that I mentioned in the last edition also came true… almost! As Sam Altman came for that money sooner than I thought but this time for a chip venture.
Today we have for you:
OpenAI CEO to become chip manufacturer
Stability AI launched their second model of 2024
Steps to get into AI field
DeepMind Co-founder says AI fundamentally replaces labor
Everyone is aware of the chip shortage in the world, and mostly tech companies only focus on designing and outsource the manufacturing as maintaining chip fabrication plant can be very expensive. Sam on the other hand is looking to raise tens of billions of dollars to set up a network of factories to manufacture semiconductors. It takes years to set up a single manufacturing plant and Sam wants to set up an entire network, I think by that time he himself will be replaced by Tesla humanoid 🤖
Two weeks into 2024 and stability AI already launched their second multilingual LLM Stable 2 1.6B. This space is dominated by giants like OpenAI however in smaller model space, this model by Stability AI outperforms models like Microsoft’s Phi-2 (2.7B), TinyLlama 1.1B,and Falcon 1B. Carlos Riquelme, Head of the Language Team at Stability AI believes that the LLMs are going to get only thinner and better overtime.

Will artificial intelligence take over the world? DeepMind's co-founder, Mustafa Suleyman, envisions a business landscape transformed by AI, capable of manufacturing, and marketing its own products. Speaking at the World Economic Forum, he predicted that such capabilities would not only exist but be widely available and affordable. This bold forecast, however, doesn't align with the conventional notion of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), a term he finds unclear. Besides these advancements, Suleyman, along with other tech leaders, acknowledges the urgency of ethical AI development and calls for government intervention to ensure responsible growth.
