Mysterious AI models called “anonymous-chatbot” and “sus-column-r” appeared in the LMSYS Chatbot Arena.

Key Details:
  • The LMSYS Chatbot Arena is an open-source platform that evaluates AI models across various criteria, including the Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) benchmark, which covers 16,000 questions from 57 academic disciplines.

  • The mysterious AI models were available in the LMSYS Chatbot Arena’s “Battle” section, which allows website visitors to compare how AI models tackle user queries to generate outputs.

  • Many believe “anonymous-chatbot” is OpenAI’s new AI model called “Strawberry,” which scans the internet autonomously to solve more complex real-world problems at scale.

  • To fuel the speculation, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted a strawberry image on X with the caption: “I love summer in the garden.”

  • OpenAI has previously tested unreleased AI models in the LMSYS Chatbot Arena, with “gpt2-chatbot” appearing before releasing GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”).

Why It’s Important:
  • Q* (“Q-Star”) refers to OpenAI’s project to develop an AI algorithm that automates processes and solves some of the world’s most pressing issues.

  • OpenAI users speculate “anonymous-chatbot” creates the conditions for Q* (“Q-Star”) to become a reality.

Anthropic, an AI research company that builds reliable AI systems, launched a bug bounty program to identify critical vulnerabilities in AI systems.

Key Details:
  • The program focuses on identifying and mitigating “universal jailbreak attacks”: a method to circumvent an AI system’s built-in safety measures and ethical guidelines.

  • Anthropic offers bounty rewards of up to $15,000 for identifying vulnerabilities in the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) domains.

  • Anthropic aims to prevent bad actors from manipulating AI systems to elicit harmful responses that spread misinformation in critical, high-risk CBRN domains.

Why It’s Important:
  • Finding weaknesses in AI systems leads to more robust and secure AI models, which in turn helps foster public trust in AI technology.

  • Discovering novel ways to manipulate AI systems can lead to groundbreaking research in safety, security, and privacy measures.

🚨If you’re experienced in identifying jailbreaks in AI models, fill out this application form by August 16th at 11:59 PM (PDT).

AI RESEARCH

🔬AI Accelerates Schizophrenia Cure

Researchers at Uppsala University (UU) developed an AI model to create three-dimensional (3D) structures of receptors linked to schizophrenia.

The AI model generated Trace Amine-Associated Receptor 1 (TAAR1) structures, a protein molecule that detects chemicals linked to mental health.

Then, supercomputers searched chemical libraries containing millions of molecules to find those fitting the AI-generated TAAR1 structures.

“The accuracy of the AI-generated TAAR1 structures was astonishing—I couldn’t believe it,” said Jens Carlsson, a professor in Computational Biochemistry at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology.
