A closely related three-act drama seems to be playing out in the field of artificial intelligence lately. From OpenAI's GPT-4, to LeanDojo's open source platform, to Elon Musk's xAI, the latest development of artificial intelligence seems to be revealing the future. Let's take a deep dive into these latest technological developments.
GPT-4: A New Power for Cluster Models
The founder of Comma.ai revealed a shocking secret for the first time: GPT-4, which we thought was a single giant model, is actually composed of 8 models with 220 billion parameters. OpenAI did not pioneer this "hybrid expert" model architecture, but their use and execution plan undoubtedly opened a new chapter in the field of artificial intelligence.
This kind of model cluster will not only bring powerful computing power, but more importantly, it will open up new possibilities and open up new fields of artificial intelligence.
A Mathematical Breakthrough for AI: A New Interactive Environment
Mathematics may be the first field where artificial intelligence achieves major breakthroughs. Recent work has heralded this: Researchers have developed LeanDojo, an open-source platform that creates an interactive environment for theorem proving for Large Language Models (LLMs).
This is a unique proof-of-theory environment that allows machines to generate proofs of formulas that can be rigorously verified under human guidance. Jim Fan, a senior scientist at Nvidia, even declared that "mathematics may become the first field where artificial intelligence achieves a major breakthrough." This is undoubtedly a high degree of affirmation of the application prospects of AI in the field of mathematics.
Musk's Space Exploration: A New Journey for AI
On the other hand, Tesla founder Elon Musk has once again attracted the attention of the public. He announced the creation of a new company called xAI, dedicated to "understanding the true nature of the universe." Although it seems a bit mysterious, he hopes to reveal the secrets of the universe through the power of artificial intelligence.
Musk's move is also seen as a challenge for OpenAI. With his new company, he hopes to unlock the potential of artificial intelligence to reveal the secrets of the universe.
It is worth noting that in addition to Musk himself, the founding team of xAI also includes a group of AI researchers from top companies and institutions such as DeepMind, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Tesla, and the University of Toronto. Among the 12 announced members, Chinese accounted for more than 40%, and the strength of the talent lineup is impressive.
These researchers have made significant contributions in the field of AI, including Adam optimizer, batch normalization, layer normalization, and the discovery of adversarial examples. They have led and participated in the development of many major breakthroughs, such as AlphaStar, AlphaCode, Inception , Minerva, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4. After joining xAI, their talents and experience will provide powerful technical support for exploring the nature of the universe.
epilogue
From OpenAI's GPT-4, to LeanDojo's open source platform, to Elon Musk's xAI, artificial intelligence has not only made breakthroughs in technology, but also began to show endless possibilities in the application field. Whether it is in scientific research or in understanding the nature of the universe, AI has shown great potential and prospects.
As observers, we are fortunate to witness the changes of this era, and as participants, we should continue to make progress in thinking and exploration, and inspire AI to create more well-being for mankind. That's the big model, and how we can use it the right way to open it up.
