🧑🔬 Chemical General Intelligence and The World’s Smartest Keyboard
ChemDFM: Dialogue Foundation Model for Chemistry - You’ve heard of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), but what about Chemical General Intelligence (CGI)? The existence of specialized language/knowledge in the field of chemistry hinders the performance of general-domain LLMs in chemistry. To this end, this paper presents ChemDFM, the first LLM towards CGI—demystifying how chemicals work for everyone.
Proofread: Fixes All Errors with One Tap - This paper demonstrates Proofread, a novel Gboard feature powered by a server-side LLM, enabling seamless sentence- and paragraph-level corrections. To obtain quality models, the authors employ a two-stage tuning approach: Supervised Fine Tuning for foundational quality, followed by Reinforcement Learning for targeted refinement.
