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.
