🤖 UAE's Open-Source AI Model Now Available Royalty-Free
The Technology Innovation Institute's (TII) Falcon 40B, the UAE's premier open-source AI model, is now freely accessible for commercial and research purposes, without the burden of royalties.
Falcon 40B has secured the leading spot on Hugging Face's leaderboard for large language models, outperforming formidable rivals such as Meta's LLaMA and Stability AI's StableLM.
This development empowers both public and private sector entities to enjoy accelerated project initiation, flexible software development processes, extensive community support, and simplified license management.
Fun fact — the model underwent training on an astounding 1 trillion tokens... yes, you read that right, with a 't'.
🥕 Instacart Introduces AI Shopping Companion
Instacart has unveiled "Ask Instacart," a cutting-edge AI search tool leveraging OpenAI's ChatGPT technology. This innovative tool is designed to enhance customer assistance by delivering tailored recommendations for shopping inquiries. It offers a wide range of benefits, including personalized product suggestions, insights on food preparation, dietary considerations, and more.
By introducing this AI-powered search feature, Instacart aims to revolutionize the food preparation and shopping experience. Users can now enjoy a comprehensive solution that eliminates the need for external searches to find recommendations and information.
Let's hope these recommendations transcend time constraints, ensuring that even late-night orders at 1 am are met with the utmost satisfaction.
🏯 Japan Embraces the AI Revolution
In a bold and unexpected development, the Japanese government has made an announcement that it will refrain from enforcing copyrights on data utilized for AI training.
This decision has been taken with the aim of propelling Japan's advancement in AI technology. The government firmly believes that concerns regarding copyrights, particularly concerning anime and visual media, have impeded the country's progress in this field.
While some artists and creators express concerns about the potential devaluation of their work, the academic and business communities are urging the government to embrace the nation's lenient data laws. They see this as a crucial step towards establishing Japan's supremacy in AI.
With Nvidia reaching the trillion-dollar mark and the UAE making their model open source, Japan's decision to join the AI movement adds to the excitement akin to an AI Olympics.
