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