🎥  Ridiculous or Realistic? How AI could help us talk to animals

Some researchers believe we’re close to achieving “interspecies chatbots.” Is this claim extremely exaggerated, or is there merit to the idea? Find out from animal researchers and AI researchers alike in this video.

🧑‍🔬 The surprising limits (and potential) of LLMs in Business and Medicine

A Reality check of the benefits of LLM in business -  This paper thoroughly examines the usefulness and readiness of LLMs for business processes. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first quantified study of LLMs applied to core business operations and challenges.

Can LLMs Correct Physicians, Yet? Investigating Effective Interaction Methods in the Medical Domain - This paper explores the potential of LLMs—including Meditron, Llama2, and Mistral—to assist and potentially correct physicians in medical decision-making tasks. Findings suggest that prompt design significantly influences the downstream accuracy of LLMs… and Mistral greatly improves diagnostic accuracy.

🏇 Who’s Losing? Google versus NVIDIA… and the limits of LLMs

Google vs. NVIDIA: Who’s losing the AI Innovation Competition? - On June 11th, 2024, NVIDIA became the most valuable publicly traded company in the world. Meanwhile, Google has a history of outperforming its competitors. Who’s really winning in this AI war?

Beyond Chat: What Else Can Large Language Models Do? - It seems like chatting receives all the attention in the LLM space. However, other tasks like translation, question-answering, and even coding remain within the realm of LLMs’ capabilities. So what really are their limits?

🐝 Social Media Buzz: Which LLM is mathematically the worst…

DiagramGPT is a web application that allows users to generate diagrams and visuals simply by describing them in text. Developed by Fraser Xu, it leverages advanced AI to turn text descriptions into professional-looking diagrams.

OpenPipe serves as a robust platform that significantly simplifies the intricacies of prompt engineering and LLM performance optimization. By offering a user-friendly interface, OpenPipe allows users to instantly see the results of prompt modifications, define custom test scenarios effortlessly, and even auto-generate new scenarios.
