When exploring the realm of computation, it is crucial to delve into the essence of understanding beyond mere code and algorithms. In the movie ‘Oppenheimer’, the physicist Niels Bohr sparks a profound conversation with Robert Oppenheimer early in his career. Drawing a parallel between algebra and sheet music, Bohr challenges Oppenheimer not to just read

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) has revolutionized the field of large language models (LLMs) by offering a scalable solution to the computational challenges faced by traditional models. By diverting data to specialized “expert” modules instead of utilizing the entire model capacity for every input, MoE has enabled LLMs to expand their parameter count while keeping inference costs at
Large language models (LLMs) have shown significant prowess in answering simple questions rapidly. However, when it comes to tackling complex tasks that necessitate reasoning and planning, special prompting techniques are required to augment their abilities. These techniques, often known as “System 2” schemes, push LLMs to generate intermediate steps towards problem-solving. While effective, System 2
In a discussion at VentureBeat’s Transform 2024, Elastic CEO Ash Kulkarni highlighted the transformation of enterprise search through the integration of generative AI. This shift in approach was exemplified by the introduction of the Elasticsearch Relevance Engine (ESRE) in May 2023. The ESRE combined traditional keyword-based search methods with advanced vector search capabilities, allowing for
The rise of generative artificial intelligence has been a significant trend in the online world, with AI-generated content becoming more prevalent in various platforms. From AI-generated summaries in search engine results to AI tools integrated into social media platforms, the influence of AI on online interactions is undeniable. However, this rapid integration of AI technology
In the realm of education, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been met with both excitement and skepticism. Khanmigo, one of the AI-driven tools developed by Khan Academy, takes a unique approach by not providing direct answers to student queries. Instead, it prompts students to think critically by asking them questions and guiding them
In the age of social media and instant communication, the spread of misinformation and false stories has become a major concern. One recent example of this is a piece of Russian disinformation about Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s wife buying a Bugatti car with American aid money. This story quickly went viral, highlighting the dangerous potential
As an artist, the battle against art theft is a constant struggle that can be disheartening and frustrating. Renowned artist Jödicke shared the challenges he faced in protecting his work, especially in the digital age where artwork can be easily copied and distributed online. Jödicke expressed feeling devastated as he discovered his work being stolen
The future of warfare is constantly evolving, with new technologies and strategies being developed to stay ahead in an ever-changing landscape. One of the latest concepts to emerge is that of the hyper-enabled operator (HEO), which aims to equip US special operations forces with the tools they need to dominate the battlefield. This article will
The paradigm shift that Artificial Intelligence (AI) underwent in November 2022 marked a turning point where it transitioned from a technology advancing in the background to a frontstage disruptor. Gen AI, the next phase of AI, has been embraced by consumers and organizations are beginning to invest at scale. One of the critical components for
