Claude 3.5 Sonnet, beats out OpenAI and NVIDIA and Synthetic Data


Claude 3,5 The New 'Best' Model

Anthropic announced yesterday the launch of Claude 3.5 Sonnet, it's latest AI model. Claude 3.5 Sonnet boasts superior benchmarks, outperforming competitors and previous versions in reasoning, knowledge, coding, and content creation. Its enhanced speed and cost-effectiveness makes it a real alternative to OpenAI models. Key improvements include advanced vision capabilities, enabling tasks like chart interpretation and image transcription. A new "Artifacts" feature transforms Claude into a collaborative workspace, allowing real-time interaction with AI-generated content. Anthropic emphasises its commitment to safety and privacy, highlighting rigorous testing, external evaluations, and a policy that prioritises user privacy. Anthropic concludes by teasing upcoming releases and features, including new models and a "Memory" function, demonstrating Anthropic's commitment to continuous improvement based on user feedback.


NVIDIA's New Trainer

Alongside this was the recent announcement by NVIDIA. NVIDIA's Nemotron-4 340B family of models, is designed for Synthetic Data Generation (SDG). They emphasise the importance of high-quality data in developing accurate AI systems, particularly LLMs (Large Language Models) and SLMs (Small Language Models). Here (https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/leverage-our-latest-open-models-for-synthetic-data-generation-with-nvidia-nemotron-4-340b/) they explain how SDG can augment existing data stores by leveraging LLMs to create customised, high-quality data in large volumes. The source then delves into the specifics of the Nemotron-4 340B models, including the Reward Model and its use in ranking synthetic responses based on attributes like helpfulness and coherence. It concludes by illustrating a typical SDG pipeline, highlighting its effectiveness with a case study, and emphasising the transformative potential of SDG in enhancing various Gen AI applications.

The AI Dilemma and "Gollem-Class" AIs

From the Center for Humane Technology Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world. This presentation is from a private gathering in San Francisco on March 9th with leading technologists and decision-makers with the ability to influence the future of large-language model A.I.s. This presentation was given before the launch of GPT-4. One of the more astute critics of the tech industry, Tristan Harris, who has recently given stark evidence to Congress. It is worth watching both of these videos, as the Congress address gives a context of PR industry and it's regular abuses. "If we understand the mechanisms and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their...

CRM and AI?

Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used in a CRM system to enhance customer service, sales performance, and marketing strategies. Here are some examples of how AI can be applied in a CRM: - AI can enable natural language processing and voice input, such as Siri or Alexa, to allow a CRM system to answer customer queries, solve their problems, and even identify new opportunities for the sales team. Some AI-driven CRM systems can even multitask to handle all these functions and more. - AI can help with sales forecasting by analysing historical data, customer behaviour, and market trends. This can help the sales team make more accurate predictions for future sales figures and determine a success metric. - AI can assist with lead management by automating the process of qualifying and nurturing prospects. It can use chatbots and email bots to understand leads' needs and inform the sales team to improve their performance. With insights gained from these bots, companies can optimise their...

Claude 3.5 Sonnet, literary analysis capabilities, an experiment

 There are those in the AI observer community that have been suggesting of late that 'AI has plateaued' which reveals, to me, a lack of understanding of how models develop. It's not iterative design but step changes we are witnessing. The differences between Claude 3 Sonnet and 3.5 Sonnet are stark.  One test I often carry out to asses the current capabilities of LLMs is to request a simple prompt to analyse an unpublished poem, commentating on the style and literary devices employed. The outputs have improved significantly over the 18 months I have employed this approach. This is my recent attempt. The poem is self written, self published (so not widely available) to ensure that it's unlikely to have found its way into the training data. For added context, implied in the text, this was written during a residency at a Museum and Art Gallery and came from a conversation with a member of staff about his late father. Calm is museum archival software. PROMPT. "analyse...
