From GPT-4 to AGI: The Path to Advanced AI by 2027
Summary. This is a summary of the first installment of a series of essays written by Leopold Aschenbrenner — formerly of OpenAI’s Superalignment team, now founder of an investment firm focused on artificial general intelligence (AGI). Aschenbrenner titles this (first) essay, “From GPT-4 to AGI: Counting the OOMs”. AGI in 2027. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) […]
AI Boom Sparks Energy Crisis: How Data Centers Are Shaping Our Energy Future
The Rise of AI and Its Impact on Data Centers and Electrical Consumption More AI = more data centers = more electricity. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been making rapid advancements, driving innovations across various sectors, from healthcare and finance to entertainment and transportation. As AI technologies, particularly generative AI, become more integral to our daily […]
AI to the Antibiotic Rescue: Unearthing a Million Hopefuls in the War on Superbugs
Is this a joke? For over a year, there’s been an ongoing debate in the AI community about the probability that AI will destroy humanity. This debate even has its own metric – p(doom) – the probability that AI will annihilate humanity. Optimists estimate p(doom) around 0.01%, arguing that AI is less likely to destroy […]

Will Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) Revolutionize Machine Learning?
What’s New? There is a growing body of research about a new kind of neural network called Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN). In simple terms, neural networks are computer systems inspired by the brain that can learn from data. They are used for many tasks, like image recognition and speech translation. Traditionally, these networks use fixed functions […]
Research Synopsis: Retrieval-Augmented Language Models (RALMs)
Research paper: RAG and RAU: A Survey on Retrieval-Augmented Language Model in Natural Language Processing Demystifying Retrieval-Augmented Language Models (RALMs) This paper dives into a type of artificial intelligence called Retrieval-Augmented Language Models (RALMs). Imagine you’re a student asked to write an essay. You wouldn’t just write from scratch, right? You’d probably research and gather […]
8 Widely Used Large Language Models Evaluation Benchmarks Explained
Overview: Large Language Models (LLMs) are like brainiacs constantly training in an intellectual decathlon. But how do we measure their progress and identify their strengths across various disciplines? That’s where benchmarks come in. These are like specialized tests designed to assess LLMs’ abilities in various language tasks. Let’s dive into some widely used benchmarks that […]
Fresh Insights: OpenAI’s Spring Update
Spring Fling OpenAI’s Chief Technology Officer, Mura Murati, led the company’s Spring Update announcements yesterday with news of several advancements in OpenAI’s technology. The two key announcements were the release of GPT-4o (that’s GPT – 4 with the letter “o” for omni model) and a desktop version of ChatGPT. GPT-4o: Text, Audio, and Vision GPT-4o […]
The Future of Large Language Models: 10 Areas Shaping the Next Generation
Large language models (LLMs) have made remarkable strides, enabling human-like text generation, understanding complex queries, and assisting with a wide range of tasks. Recently, there have been many new releases of the LLMs with efficiency improvements in benchmark tests like Massive Multi-task Language Understanding (MMLU). The leading models “rate out” very closely to one another […]
