Yann LeCun predicts a shift to AR interfaces with AI assistants in 10-15 years, moving away from smartphones. The Dolphin-2.9 model based on Llama-3 was released, improving quality issues. PixArt Sigma, a 0.6B parameter model, achieves Stable Diffusion 3.0 level performance with complete prompt adherence and local usability. Research shows transformers can use meaningless filler tokens for algorithmic tasks with dense supervision. AI-generated restaurant reviews can pass the Turing test, fooling humans and AI detectors. Uber uses graph algorithms and learned embeddings for ETA prediction. Coca-Cola and Microsoft announced a 5-year AI partnership to accelerate cloud and generative AI initiatives. The Llama-3 70B model can run on a single 4GB GPU using AirLLM optimization without quantization but is slow. Mistral.rs is introduced as a fast LLM inference platform with quantization and OpenAI API compatibility. Only 5% of LLMs make it from prototype to production due to challenges, especially in enterprise. EXL2 and GGUF quantization methods for Llama models show similar perplexity vs model size, with Llama-3 and Llama-2 degrading more under quantization compared to full precision.
