The AI news recap highlights independent evaluations showing Grok-3 outperforming models like GPT-4.5 and Claude 3.7 Sonnet on reasoning benchmarks, while Grok-3 mini excels in reasoning tasks. Research on reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning reveals potential improvements for small reasoning models but also notes instability in reported gains. Benchmark results suggest Quasar Alpha and Optimus Alpha may be versions of GPT-4.1. Vision and multimodal models like Kaleidoscope, supporting 18 languages, and InternVL3, built on InternViT and Qwen2.5VL, demonstrate advances in multilingual vision and reasoning. The fusion model TransMamba combines transformer precision with speed via SSM mechanisms. Alibaba's FantasyTalking generates realistic talking portraits. Agent-focused events at CMU and tools like FilmAgent AI for virtual film production and BrowseComp benchmark for browsing agents were announced. The coding assistant Augment supports multiple IDEs with code analysis and suggestions. Discussions also covered Google’s new agent-to-agent protocol concept.

The Qwen team launched QVQ, a vision-enabled version of their experimental QwQ o1 clone, benchmarking comparably to Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Discussions include Bret Taylor's insights on autonomous software development distinct from the Copilot era. The Latent Space LIVE! talks cover highlights of 2024 AI startups, vision, open models, post-transformers, synthetic data, smol models, and agents. Twitter recaps by Claude 3.5 Sonnet highlight proposals for benchmarks measuring LLM calibration and falsehood confidence, with QVQ outperforming GPT-4o and Claude Sonnet 3.5. AI alignment debates focus on intentionality and critiques of alignment faking in models like Claude. Updates from OpenAI include new o3 and o3-mini models and a deliberative alignment strategy. The ASAL project is a collaboration between MIT, OpenAI, and Swiss AI Lab IDSIA to automate artificial life discovery. Personal stories reveal frustrations with USCIS green card denials despite high qualifications. New tools like GeminiCoder enable rapid app creation, and a contract review agent using Reflex and Llama Index checks GDPR compliance. Holiday greetings and memes were also shared.

The upcoming AI Engineer World's Fair in San Francisco from June 25-27 will feature a significantly expanded format with booths, talks, and workshops from top model labs like OpenAI, DeepMind, Anthropic, Mistral, Cohere, HuggingFace, and Character.ai. It includes participation from Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, Google Vertex, and major companies such as Nvidia, Salesforce, Mastercard, Palo Alto Networks, and more. The event covers 9 tracks including RAG, multimodality, evals/ops, open models, code generation, GPUs, agents, AI in Fortune 500, and a new AI leadership track. Additionally, Anthropic shared interpretability research on Claude 3 Sonnet, revealing millions of interpretable features that can be steered to modify model behavior, including safety-relevant features related to bias and unsafe content, though more research is needed for practical applications. The event offers a discount code for AI News readers.

Andrew Ng's The Batch writeup on Agents highlighted the significant improvement in coding benchmark performance when using an iterative agent workflow, with GPT-3.5 wrapped in an agent loop achieving up to 95.1% correctness on HumanEval, surpassing GPT-4 zero-shot at 67.0%. The report also covers new developments in Stable Diffusion models like Cyberrealistic_v40, Platypus XL, and SDXL Lightning for Naruto-style image generation, alongside innovations in LoRA and upscaling techniques. Discussions on local LLM deployment and optimization focus on hardware setups and finetuning strategies for efficient inference and multi-user serving. Emad's departure from Stability AI and new Sora videos from OpenAI were also noted.
