šŸ¦™Meta Releases Llama 4?!

Meta just released Llama 4, a family of three new multimodal AI models designed to offer industry-leading performance in text and image understanding.

Key Details:
  • Hereā€™re five key terms you need to know:

    1. Tokens: The smallest units of data used to process and generate text.

    2. Multimodal AI Models: Can process, analyze, and generate text, images, audio, video, or code.

    3. Context Window: The amount of tokens a multimodal AI model can consider or ā€œrememberā€ when generating outputs.

    4. Parameters: Internal settings like weights and biases that help multimodal AI models understand and predict words.

    5. Mixture of Experts (MoEs): Multiple smaller AI models that act as ā€œmini-expertsā€ in different domains to tackle different parts of complex problems at the same time.

  • The three new multimodal AI models include:

    1. Llama 4 Scout: 17 billion active parameters equipped with 16 MoEs and a 10 million token context window. It runs on a single NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU.

    2. Llama 4 Maverick: 17 billion active parameters equipped with 128 MoEs and a 1 million token context window. It runs on the NVIDIA DGX H100.

    3. Llama 4 Behemoth: 228 billion active parameters with 16 MoEs. Itā€™s expected to outperform OpenAIā€™s GPT-4.5 and Anthropicā€™s Claude 3.7 Sonnet in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • ā€œWeā€™re gonna share more about Llama 4 Reasoning soon,ā€ said Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Heā€™s referring to Metaā€™s version of a Reasoning Engine thatā€™ll mimic a humanā€™s decision-making capabilities.

  • Llama 4 Maverick achieved 69.8% accuracy on the Graduate-Level Google-Proof Q&A (GPQA) Diamond benchmark, which involves 448 multiple-choice questions crafted by domain experts in biology, physics, and chemistry. For context, Googleā€™s Gemini 2.0 Flash achieved 60.1% accuracy, and OpenAIā€™s GPT-4o (ā€œoā€ for ā€œomniā€) achieved 53.6% accuracy.

ā›ļøAI Teaches Itself to Mine Diamond Ore in Minecraft

Google DeeMind developed ā€œDreamerV3,ā€ an AI System that autonomously learned to mine Diamond Ore in Minecraft without any human intervention in just nine days.

Key Details:
  • In Minecraft, players explore a virtual 3D world containing a variety of terrains, including forests, mountains, deserts, and swamps. They use the virtual 3D worldā€™s resources to collect items like oak logs, sandstone, and diamond ore to create objects like chests, fences, and swords.

  • ā€œDreamerV3ā€ wasnā€™t given any step-by-step instructions by humans. Instead, it was encouraged to explore the virtual 3D world and absorb information to identify potential actions.

  • For example, ā€œDreamerV3ā€ observed that chopping down oak trees located in forests yielded oak logs. This observation established an essential relationship between an action and the consequence of that action.

  • ā€œDreamerV3ā€ leveraged Reinforcement Learning (RL), which mimics the ā€œtrial-and-errorā€ process humans use to learn, where actions that lead to desired outcomes are reinforced.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • The 3D virtual world was reset every 30 minutes, forcing ā€œDreamerV3ā€ to adapt to a new randomly generated environment. Despite these constant changes, ā€œDreamerV3ā€ rapidly improved.

  • ā€œYou must really understand whatā€™s in front of you; you canā€™t just memorize a specific strategy,ā€ said Google DeepMind Research Scientist Danijar Hafner. ā€œIt forces the AI System to self-improve over time.ā€
