AI RUMORS

🧙‍♂️Mysterious “gpt2-chatbot” Appears

A mysterious AI model called “gpt2-chatbot” appeared in the LMSYS Chatbot Arena, showcasing advanced capabilities in nuanced content creation and code generation.

Key Details:

• Users praised the “gpt2-chatbot” for its complex reasoning, math, coding, and ASCII art skills.

• The AI model appeared to exceed conversational chatbots like Anthropic’s Claude 3, Meta’s Llama 3, and OpenAI’s GPT-4.

• The “gpt2-chatbot” lacks any official documentation or attribution. However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted on X: “I do have a soft spot for gpt2.”

• Then, the LMSYS Chatbot Arena suddenly turned off the “gpt2-chatbot.”

Why It’s Important:

• Users speculate that the “gpt2-chatbot” was a leak or sneak peek into the second version of ChatGPT. When prompted to identify itself, the AI model claimed OpenAI built it.

• Many developers state this is a weak signal because of data contamination. Several AI models are trained using OpenAI’s data, leading them to believe OpenAI built them.

🎬ShengShu-AI’s New Vidu Model

Chinese technology firm ShengShu-AI unveiled Vidu, a text-to-video AI model that rivals OpenAI’s Sora. With a single click, Vidu can generate high-quality, 16-second videos at 1080p resolution.

Vidu’s capabilities lie in its Universal Vision Transformer (U-ViT) architecture. U-ViT merges the strengths of both diffusion and transformer-based text-to-video AI models.

ShengShu-AI started developing Vidu in 2022 with a proprietary architecture that predates Sora’s Diffusion Transformer (DiT) workflow.

Sora’s DiT workflow leverages an artificial neural network architecture that understands and manipulates sequences of information to convert text into visual patches.
