Glean doubled its valuation again. Dan Hendrycks' Superforecaster AI generates plausible election forecasts with interesting prompt engineering. A Stanford study found that LLM-generated research ideas are statistically more novel than those by expert humans. SambaNova announced faster inference for llama-3 models, surpassing Cerebras. Benjamin Clavie gave a notable talk on retrieval-augmented generation techniques. Strawberry is reported to launch in two weeks. Google Illuminate offers AI-generated podcast discussions about papers and books. Apple unveiled new AI features in iOS 18, including visual intelligence and improved Siri, with on-device and cloud processing for camera-based event additions. The Reflection 70B model sparked controversy over performance claims. Experts highlighted the unreliability of traditional benchmarks like MMLU and HumanEval, recommending alternative evaluation methods such as LMSys Chatbot Arena and Hugging Face's open-sourced Lighteval suite. The AI research community continues to explore AI's role in generating novel research ideas and improving benchmarking.

Apple announced the new iPhone 16 lineup featuring Visual Intelligence, a new AI capability integrated with Camera Control, Apple Maps, and Siri, emphasizing privacy and default service use over third-party AI like OpenAI. Apple Photos now includes advanced video understanding with timestamp recognition. Meanwhile, Reflection-70B claims to be a top open-source model but benchmarks show it performs close to Llama 3 70B and slightly worse than Qwen 2 72B. Yann LeCun highlighted ongoing challenges with LLM planning abilities, noting models like Llama-3.1-405b and Claude show some skill, while GPT-4 and Gemini lag behind. Weights & Biases is sponsoring an event to advance LLM evaluation techniques with prizes and API access.
