🍎Apple’s Advanced Simulator Trains Self-Driving Cars

Researchers at Apple developed “GIGAFLOW,” an advanced simulator that creates synthetic datasets using Self-Play to train self-driving cars.

Key Details:
  • Self-Play is a framework that allows AI Agents to play games like Chess or Go against themselves to improve their skills.

  • “GIGAFLOW” uses Self-Play to train AI-Controlled Cars across several simulated environments with realistic traffic scenarios involving trucks, cyclists, and pedestrians.

  • These AI-Controlled Cars learn to perform lane changes and navigate congested intersections safely.

Why It’s Important:
  • Most self-driving cars, like Waymo’s Jaguar I-PACE SUVs, rely on massive datasets of human driving for training.

  • “GIGAFLOW” allows developers to create tons of synthetic datasets with human-like qualities to train self-driving cars.

🎓AI Solves Geometry Better Than Olympiad Gold Medalist Student

Google DeepMind introduced “AlphaGeometry2,” an AI System that solves geometry problems better than an Olympiad Gold Medalist Student.

Key Details:
  • “AlphaGeometry2” involves two components:

    1. Large Language Model (LLM): It reads the geometry problems and forms ideas on how to solve them.

    2. Symbolic Deduction Engine (SDE): It applies logic to the LLM’s ideas by rigorously checking them against geometric rules like “if two lines intersect, they form an angle.

  • If the SDE finds flaws in the LLM’s ideas, it provides feedback that enables the LLM to generate new ideas.

  • “AlphaGeometry2” solved 42 out of 50 problems at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), surpassing the average Olympiad Gold Medalist Student.

Why It’s Important:
  • It could revolutionize fields like education by creating personalized AI-powered learning tools for students.

  • It’s not just about crunching numbers. “AlphaGeometry2” demonstrates the ability to understand concepts, formulate strategies, and construct logical arguments, hallmarks of human intelligence.

AI DRAMA

💵Tech Billionaire Elon Musk’s Bid to Retake OpenAI

Tech Billionaire Elon Musk just made a $97.4 billion unsolicited offer to buy OpenAI’s Non-Profit Entity.

In 2019, OpenAI added a Capped Profit Framework called OpenAI LP to raise money for building advanced AI models. This change provided investors with a Capped Return if OpenAI succeeds, allowing OpenAI to attract money by offering “startup-like equity.” However, any returns beyond what OpenAI owes investors of OpenAI LP are funneled into the Non-Profit Entity.

OpenAI recently raised $6.6 billion at a $157 billion valuation. However, the deal is contingent on OpenAI removing the Capped Profit Framework because it puts a ceiling on the profit investors can earn from OpenAI. So, OpenAI is in the process of restructuring the Capped Profit Framework into a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) that’s no longer controlled by a Non-Profit Board of Directors (BofD). Musk is making OpenAI’s restructuring efforts more difficult by providing this unsolicited offer to the Non-Profit BofD.
