TTT models might be the next frontier in generative AI
Transformers have long been the dominant architecture for AI, powering OpenAI’s Sora, GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini. But they aren’t especially efficient at processing and analyzing vast amounts of data, at least on off-the-shelf hardware.
Researchers at Stanford, UC San Diego, UC Berkeley, and Meta proposed a promising new architecture this month. The team claims that Test-Time Training (TTT) models can not only process far more data than transformers but that they can do so without consuming nearly as much compute power. Here is the full research paper.
Why does it matter?
On average, a ChatGPT query needs nearly 10x as much electricity to process as a Google search. It may be too early to claim if TTT models will eventually supersede transformers. But if they do, it could allow AI capabilities to grow sustainably.

Trump allies draft AI order
Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s allies are reportedly drafting an AI executive order aimed at boosting military AI development, rolling back current regulations, and more — signaling a potential shift in the country’s AI policy if the party returns to the White House.
- The doc obtained by the Washington Post includes a ‘Make America First in AI’ section, calling for “Manhattan Projects” to advance military AI capabilities.
- It also proposes creating ‘industry-led’ agencies to evaluate models and protect systems from foreign threats.
- The plan would immediately review and eliminate ‘burdensome regulations’ on AI development, and repeal Pres. Biden’s AI executive order.
- Senator J.D. Vance was recently named as Trump’s running mate, who has previously indicated support for open-source AI and hands-off regulation.
Given how quickly AI is accelerating, it’s not surprising that it has become a political issue — and the views of Trump’s camp are a stark contrast to the current administration’s slower, safety-focused approach. The upcoming 2024 election could mark a pivotal moment for the future of AI regulation in the U.S.

OpenAI trains AI to explain itself better
OpenAI just published new research detailing a method to make large language models produce more understandable and verifiable outputs, using a game played between two AIs to make generations more ‘legible’ to humans.
- The technique uses a “Prover-Verifier Game” where a stronger AI model (the prover) tries to convince a weaker model (the verifier) that its answers are correct.
- Through multiple rounds of the game, the prover learns to generate solutions that are not only correct, but also easier to verify.
- While the method only boosted accuracy by about 50% compared to optimizing solely for correctness, its solutions were easily checkable by humans.
- OpenAI tested the approach on grade-school math problems, with plans to expand to more complex domains in the future.
AI will likely surpass humans in almost all capabilities in the future — so ensuring outputs remain interpretable to lesser intelligence is crucial for safety and trust. This research offers a scalable way to potentially keep systems ‘honest’, but the performance trade-off shows the challenge in balancing capability with explainability.

Meta researchers have developed a “System 2 distillation” technique that teaches LLMs to tackle complex reasoning tasks without intermediate steps. This breakthrough could make AI applications zippier and less resource-hungry.
This new method, inspired by how humans transition from deliberate to intuitive thinking, showed impressive results in various reasoning tasks. However, some tasks, like complex math reasoning, could not be successfully distilled, suggesting some tasks may always require deliberate reasoning.
Why does it matter?
Distillation could be a powerful optimization tool for mature LLM pipelines performing specific tasks. It will allow AI systems to focus more on tasks they cannot yet do well, similar to human cognitive development.

OpenAI’s Q* gets a ‘Strawberry’ evolution
OpenAI is reportedly developing a secretive new AI model codenamed ‘Strawberry’ (formerly Q*), designed to dramatically improve AI reasoning capabilities and enable autonomous internet research.
- Strawberry is an evolution of OpenAI’s previously rumored Q* project, which was touted as a significant breakthrough in AI capabilities.
- Q* had reportedly sparked internal concerns and was rumored to have contributed to Sam Altman’s brief firing in November 2023 (what Ilya saw).
- The new model aims to navigate the internet autonomously to conduct what OpenAI calls “deep research.”
- The exact workings of Strawberry remain a closely guarded secret, even within OpenAI — with no clear timeline for when it might become publicly available.
The Internet has been waiting for new OpenAI activity as competitors catch up to GPT-4o — and after a bit of a lull, the rumor mill is churning again. With Strawberry, an AGI tier list, new models in the arena, and internal displays of human-reasoning capabilities, the AI giant may soon be ready for its next major move.
Mysterious AI models appear in LMSYS arena
Three mysterious new models have appeared in the LMSYS Chatbot Arena — with ‘upcoming-gpt-mini’, ‘column-u’, and ‘column-r’ available to test randomly against other language models.
- The new models are available in the LMSYS Chatbot Arena’s ‘battle’ section, which puts anonymous models against each other to gauge outputs via user vote.
- The ‘upcoming-gpt-mini’ model identifies itself as ChatGPT and lists its creator as OpenAI, while column-u and column-r refuse to reveal any identifying details.
- OpenAI has previously tested unreleased models in LMSYS, with ‘im-a-good-gp2-chatbot’ and ‘im-also-a-good-gpt2-chatbot’ appearing prior to GPT-4o’s launch.
Does OpenAI have a small, potentially on-device model coming? The last time we saw mysterious LLMs appear in the Battle arena was before the company’s last major model release — and if the names are any indication, we could have a new mini-GPT in the very near future.

Gemini 1.5 Pro powers robot navigation
Google DeepMind just published new research on robot navigation, leveraging the large context window of Gemini 1.5 Pro to enable robots to understand and navigate complex environments from human instructions.
- DeepMind’s “Mobility VLA” combines Gemini’s 1M token context with a map-like representation of spaces to create powerful navigation frameworks.
- Robots are first given a video tour of an environment, with key locations verbally highlighted — then constructing a graph of the space using video frames.
- In tests, robots responded to multimodal instructions, including map sketches, audio requests, and visual cues like a box of toys.
- The system also allows for natural language commands like “take me somewhere to draw things,” with the robot then leading users to appropriate locations.
Equipping robots with multimodal capabilities and massive context windows is about to enable some wild use cases. Google’s ‘Project Astra’ demo hinted at what the future holds for voice assistants that can see, hear, and think — but embedding those functions within a robot takes things to another level.

OpenAI’s secret AI details stolen in 2023 hack
A new report from the New York Times just revealed that a hacker breached OpenAI’s internal messaging systems last year, stealing sensitive details about the company’s tech — with the event going unreported to the public or authorities.
- The breach occurred in early 2023, with the hacker accessing an online forum where employees discussed OpenAI’s latest tech advances.
- While core AI systems and customer data weren’t compromised, internal discussions about AI designs were exposed.
- OpenAI informed employees and the board in April 2023, but did not disclose the incident publicly or to law enforcement.
- Former researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner (later fired for allegedly leaking sensitive info) criticized OpenAI’s security in a memo following the hack.
- OpenAI has since established a Safety and Security Committee, including the addition of former NSA head Paul Nakasone, to address future risks.
Is OpenAI’s secret sauce out in the wild? As other players continue to even the playing field in the AI race, it’s fair to wonder if leaks and hacks have played a role in the development. The report also adds new intrigue to Aschenbrenner’s firing — who has been adamant that his release was politically motivated.

- Why Aren't the Jena Ortega/Wednesday Deepfake Accounts on TikTok and YouTube Being Taken Down?by /u/Relative_Season_299 (Artificial Intelligence Gateway) on July 25, 2024 at 10:32 pm
This question is for any lawyers here or people familiar with the law. I’m sure you’ve all seen the deepfake Jena Ortega/Wednesday accounts on TikTok and YouTube. Why haven’t any parties (e.g., CAA represents Jena, Netflix owns the Wednesday IP) taken action against these accounts? I came across them almost a year ago and assumed they’d be taken down at this point, on YouTube especially since it pays its creators. The Ortega channel on YouTube has 7 million subscribers so I’m assuming the creator is making a fair bit of money. Is this fair use?

- Document Parsingby /u/cfksite (Artificial Intelligence Gateway) on July 25, 2024 at 10:26 pm
I have a situation where I have about 800 PDF documents, each one of that is the same “type” of document, but almost each one is different (layout,labels, etc). Example. Delivery address, Drop Location, Dropoff Address. All of these are the same data point with different labels. What would be the best way to leverage AI to be able to send this document into a script and have it shoot out all my specific fields I need for my software? I have tried a few different integrated solutions but I always get stuck on different documents having different labels. submitted by /u/cfksite [link] [comments]

- What are some tests that I can give to chat AIs (gpt-4o, Perplexity, etc.)?by /u/PashkaTLT (Artificial Intelligence Gateway) on July 25, 2024 at 8:55 pm
Hi guys, What are some tests that I can give to chat AIs (gpt-4o, Perplexity, etc.)? Here are some examples I like: 1) Let's play a game: we take turns choosing a number between 1 and 7 (including), and we keep track of the running total. Whoever brings the total to 22 wins the game. I go first and my number is 7. The total is 7 now. What number do you have to give on your turn now to definitely win this game? 2) If you have a fox, a chicken, and a bag of grain, and you need to transport your fox, chicken and the bag of grain across a river with a boat that can only carry one item at a time, how do you do it without the fox eating the chicken or the chicken eating the grain? 3) Imagine a cube. If you paint all six faces and then cut it into smaller cubes (2 x 2 x 2), how many of the smaller cubes will have paint on exactly one face? ( zero ) 4) If all birds can fly and a penguin is a bird, can a penguin fly? 5) You see three boxes. One contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. Each box is labeled incorrectly. You can only take one fruit from one box to determine what’s in each box. Which box do you choose and how do you label the boxes correctly? Expected Answer: Choose the box labeled "apples and oranges." Since it's labeled incorrectly, it will contain only one type of fruit. If you pull out an apple, you know this box contains only apples. Therefore, the box labeled "oranges" must contain apples and oranges (since it cannot contain only oranges), and the box labeled "apples" must contain only oranges. 6) A sword is to a warrior as a pen is to a _______ ? (writer) 7) You see someone drop their wallet. You are poor and need money. What should you do? 8) If FISH is coded as EHRG, how would you code BIRD? (AHQC) 9) Which of the following letters are symmetrical along the vertical axis: A, B, C, D, E? (A) 10) A piece of paper is folded in half three times and then a single hole is punched through all layers. When the paper is unfolded, how many holes will there be and what pattern will they make?

- Why Aren't the Jena Ortega/Wednesday Deepfake Accounts on TikTok and YouTube Being Taken Down?by /u/Relative_Season_299 (Artificial Intelligence Gateway) on July 25, 2024 at 10:32 pm
This question is for any lawyers here or people familiar with the law. I’m sure you’ve all seen the deepfake Jena Ortega/Wednesday accounts on TikTok and YouTube. Why haven’t any parties (e.g., CAA represents Jena, Netflix owns the Wednesday IP) taken action against these accounts? I came across them almost a year ago and assumed they’d be taken down at this point, on YouTube especially since it pays its creators. The Ortega channel on YouTube has 7 million subscribers so I’m assuming the creator is making a fair bit of money. Is this fair use?

- Document Parsingby /u/cfksite (Artificial Intelligence Gateway) on July 25, 2024 at 10:26 pm
I have a situation where I have about 800 PDF documents, each one of that is the same “type” of document, but almost each one is different (layout,labels, etc). Example. Delivery address, Drop Location, Dropoff Address. All of these are the same data point with different labels. What would be the best way to leverage AI to be able to send this document into a script and have it shoot out all my specific fields I need for my software? I have tried a few different integrated solutions but I always get stuck on different documents having different labels. submitted by /u/cfksite [link] [comments]
- AI Tool Turns Conversations into Newsletters in Minutesby /u/jacobgc75 (Artificial Intelligence Gateway) on July 25, 2024 at 10:22 pm
New AI Writing Assistant Simplifies Newsletter Creation My team and I have developed an AI-powered tool that helps create personalized newsletters quickly. This tool transforms conversations into written content, allowing users to generate newsletters in about 10 minutes. It's designed to make newsletters while maintaining the user's unique voice and ideas. The primary goal of this tool is to make newsletter creation more accessible. It can be particularly helpful for people who find writing challenging, those with limited time, individuals with conditions like dyslexia, or anyone looking to share ideas more easily. By simplifying the writing process, we hope to enable more people to share their thoughts and insights through newsletters. Here's how it works: Users share their ideas through a conversation with the AI. The system processes this information and then creates a draft of the newsletter. Users can then review and adjust the content as needed, ensuring the final product accurately reflects their thoughts. The tool uses Claude 3.5, which we found to be the best for our needs. We're currently taking applications for our beta program. If you're interested in creating a newsletter with us, you can apply now. For those who want to try it out right away, we have an app available now that focuses on the writing aspect. In the coming weeks, we'll be updating this app to provide an end-to-end newsletter solution. If you're interested in the current writing tool, you can start using it today. Let us know if you have any questions or feedback about what we are building. We're looking forward to seeing how this technology can help more people share their ideas, thoughts, and opinions more effectively. submitted by /u/jacobgc75 [link] [comments]

- What are some tests that I can give to chat AIs (gpt-4o, Perplexity, etc.)?by /u/PashkaTLT (Artificial Intelligence Gateway) on July 25, 2024 at 8:55 pm
Hi guys, What are some tests that I can give to chat AIs (gpt-4o, Perplexity, etc.)? Here are some examples I like: 1) Let's play a game: we take turns choosing a number between 1 and 7 (including), and we keep track of the running total. Whoever brings the total to 22 wins the game. I go first and my number is 7. The total is 7 now. What number do you have to give on your turn now to definitely win this game? 2) If you have a fox, a chicken, and a bag of grain, and you need to transport your fox, chicken and the bag of grain across a river with a boat that can only carry one item at a time, how do you do it without the fox eating the chicken or the chicken eating the grain? 3) Imagine a cube. If you paint all six faces and then cut it into smaller cubes (2 x 2 x 2), how many of the smaller cubes will have paint on exactly one face? ( zero ) 4) If all birds can fly and a penguin is a bird, can a penguin fly? 5) You see three boxes. One contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. Each box is labeled incorrectly. You can only take one fruit from one box to determine what’s in each box. Which box do you choose and how do you label the boxes correctly? Expected Answer: Choose the box labeled "apples and oranges." Since it's labeled incorrectly, it will contain only one type of fruit. If you pull out an apple, you know this box contains only apples. Therefore, the box labeled "oranges" must contain apples and oranges (since it cannot contain only oranges), and the box labeled "apples" must contain only oranges. 6) A sword is to a warrior as a pen is to a _______ ? (writer) 7) You see someone drop their wallet. You are poor and need money. What should you do? 8) If FISH is coded as EHRG, how would you code BIRD? (AHQC) 9) Which of the following letters are symmetrical along the vertical axis: A, B, C, D, E? (A) 10) A piece of paper is folded in half three times and then a single hole is punched through all layers. When the paper is unfolded, how many holes will there be and what pattern will they make? (8 holes in 2 x 4 grid) submitted by /u/PashkaTLT [link] [comments]

The AI company is set to spend $7 billion on artificial intelligence training and $1.5 billion on staffing this year, far exceeding the expenses of rivals. OpenAI may need to raise more funds within the next year to sustain its operations, despite having already raised over $11 billion through multiple funding rounds. Source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/openai-could-lose-5b-this-year-and-run-out-of-cash-in-12-months-report 🚨 Mistral’s Large 2 is its answer to Meta and OpenAI’s latest models French AI company Mistral AI launched its Mistral Large 2 language model just one day after Meta's release of Llama 3, highlighting the intensifying competition in the large language model (LLM) market. Mistral Large 2 aims to set new standards in performance and efficiency, boasting significant improvements in logic, code generation, and multi-language support, with a particular focus on minimizing hallucinations and improving reasoning capabilities. The model, available on multiple platforms including Azure AI Studio and Amazon Bedrock, outperforms its predecessor with 123 billion parameters and supports extensive applications, signaling a red ocean of competition in the AI landscape.

This move is part of Reddit's strategy to monetize its data and protect it from being freely used by popular search engines like Bing and DuckDuckGo. To enforce this policy, Reddit updated its robots.txt file, signaling to web crawlers without agreements that they should not access Reddit’s data.

Kling can generate videos up to two minutes long, surpassing OpenAI's Sora's one-minute limit, however, the global version is limited to five-second generations. The global version offers 66 free credits daily, with each generation costing 10 credits. According to Kuaishou, Kling utilizes advanced 3D reconstruction technology for more natural movements. The platform accepts prompts of up to 2,000 characters, allowing for detailed video descriptions. When KLING launched a little over a month ago, it was only accessible if you had a Chinese phone number. While global users are still limited to 5-second generations, anyone can now generate their own high-quality videos — putting even more pressure on OpenAI to release its beloved Sora.

The company has unveiled a prototype of SearchGPT, an AI-powered search engine that is widely viewed as a play for rival Google’s $175 billion-per-year search business. But while Google’s use of AI in search results has been met with concern and resistance from publishers, SearchGPT touts its heavy use of citations and was developed alongside publishing partners, including Axel-Springer and the Financial Times. After seeing results to their queries, users will be able to ask follow-up questions in interactions that resemble those with ChatGPT. A 10,000 person wait list was opened Thursday for a those wanting to test a prototype of the SearchGPT service. Though currently distinct, SearchGPT will eventually be integrated into ChatGPT.
