The Long Read

MIT Technology Review: DeepMind’s cofounder: Generative AI is just a phase. What’s next? Interactive AI.

DeepMind and Inflection cofounder Mustafa Suleyman

DeepMind cofounder Mustafa Suleyman wants to build a chatbot that does a whole lot more than chat. In this interview, he talks about the shift from generative AI to interactive AI: bots that can carry out tasks you set for them by calling on other software and other people to get stuff done. He also calls for robust regulation—and doesn’t think that’ll be hard to achieve.

  • Phi-1.5: Microsoft’s 1.3B-parameter LLM outshines Llama 2. What’s most impressive: it was trained for less than 2 weeks on just 8 A100s, and on synthetic data generated by existing LLMs. This could point to a future where you don’t need extensive and specialized compute power to train AI with results comparable to leading LLMs — making this capability accessible to many more players. https://tinyurl.com/ym43xmz3

  • Google’s upcoming generative AI Gemini is reportedly five times more powerful than GPT-4 models. A small number of developers have been given access to Gemini, which Google plans to make available to companies through its Google Cloud Vertex AI service. https://tinyurl.com/bc729vn5

  • AI agents powered by LLMs like GPT 3.5 could run a software development agency on its own. They even developed software in under 7 minutes. Researchers from Brown University in collaboration with multiple Chinese universities ran a study to see if AI agents, assigned roles like CEO, CTO, Designer, could run a software development agency without prior training. https://tinyurl.com/mu97msj3
