here is sora, our video generation model:
openai.com/sora
today we are starting red-teaming and offering access to a limited number of creators.
@_tim_brooks @billpeeb @model_mechanic are really incredible; amazing work by them and the team.
remarkable moment.
When will Sam release Q* as a response?
I’m very excited to share our work on Gemini today! Gemini is a family of multimodal models that demonstrate really strong capabilities across the image, audio, video, and text domains. Our most-capable model, Gemini Ultra, advances the state of the art in 30 of 32 benchmarks, including 10 of 12 popular text and reasoning benchmarks, 9 of 9 image understanding benchmarks, 6 of 6 video understanding benchmarks, and 5 of 5 speech recognition and speech translation benchmarks. Gemini Ultra is the first model to achieve human-expert performance on MMLU across 57 subjects with a score above 90%. It also achieves a new state-of-the-art score of 62.4% on the new MMMU multimodal reasoning benchmark, outperforming the previous best model by more than 5 percentage points.
Gemini was built by an awesome team of people from @GoogleDeepMind, @GoogleResearch, and elsewhere at @Google, and is one of the largest science and engineering efforts we’ve ever undertaken. As one of the two overall technical leads of the Gemini effort, along with my colleague @OriolVinyalsML, I am incredibly proud of the whole team, and we’re so excited to be sharing our work with you today!
There’s quite a lot of different material about Gemini available, starting with:
Main blog post: blog.google/technology/ai/go…
60-page technical report authored by th Gemini Team: deepmind.google/gemini/gemin…
In this thread, I’ll walk you through some of the highlights.

AI continues to make unbelievable advances in healthcare.
Researchers have just created a brain implant that decodes thoughts into synthesized speech allowing paralyzed patients to communicate through a digital avatar.
This is incredible:
-The implant converts brain signals into text at nearly 80 words per minute, focusing on phonemes vs. whole words to enhance speed.
-The AI generates realistic vocals (mirroring a patient’s pre-injury voice) and facial animations that aim to enable more natural communication.
-The breakthrough brings the tech closer to real-world use, with the next step being a wireless model that doesn’t require a physical connection to the interface.
Restoring communication for those with paralysis is an innovation that would change countless lives.
While it sounds crazy, mind-reading implants seem to be inching closer to reality.

Probabilistically predicting the next word using sufficiently long n-grams (frequencies of words following one another) and some randomisation is how ChatGPT 'talks'

Last month, BBC reported that GOSH, a research hospital in the UK, base edited the genome of a 12-year-old girl, Alyssa, suffering from leukemia. She had failed dozens of therapies and had no more options. Seven months later, she is cancer- free. Not many investors know about it.

For fun, I got GPT-3 to summarise every DARPA program in simpler English. It has made for fun night-time reading. Here you go!

Currently, we’re really only interested in I/Os of AI (Turing Test). At some point we’re going to have to critically evaluate the black box.
As AI’s outputs become more real and influential, we will need to ask serious ethical questions on autonomy.

A primitive understanding of p5.js only makes Fidenza (@tylerxhobbs) more impressive.
The balance between unpredictability and quality comes from flexible yet simple code.

Scary for web3 - a move to shut down decentralisation by naming validators on Ethereum as money service businesses.
America seems in favour of a CBDC-type model.
Instead of doubling down on the values of our constitution we're fast-following China into a half-assed digital authoritarianism.
Crypto forces the choice:
Will we choose freedom or will we follow the authoritarians?
We better choose fast cause right now we suck at both.
