OpenAI Japan unveiled “GPT-Next,” a timeline of OpenAI’s AI progress.

Key Details:
  • OpenAI Japan is OpenAI’s first office in Asia to integrate within the local community and lead businesses like TOYOTA Connected through ChatGPT Enterprise.

  • “GPT-Next” outlines three time periods of OpenAI’s AI progress:

    1. GPT-3 Era in 2021: AI with Conversational Language

    2. GPT-4 Era in 2023: AI with Human-Level Problem-Solving Abilities

    3. “GPT-Next” in 2024: AI Agents That Can Take Action Without Human Intervention

  • “GPT-Next” will leverage a Self-Taught Reasoner (STaR) framework, which allows AI models to self-generate training data and continuously improve their intelligence level.

Why It’s Important:
  • The core of OpenAI’s research is built around achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which OpenAI defines as “a highly autonomous AI system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work.”

  • OpenAI’s developers are currently creating a new Reasoning Engine called “Strawberry” that mimics a human’s decision-making capabilities and problem-solving capacity.

🩺 PULSE CHECK

Will OpenAI build AI systems that outperform most humans within the next five years?

🧬Google DeepMind Develops “AlphaProteo”

Google DeepMind developed “AlphaProteo,” an AI system that designs proteins to bind to target molecules.

Key Details:
  • Every biological process in the body depends on interactions between molecules called proteins.

  • “AlphaProteo” designs proteins that bind to target molecules like a key to a lock, helping scientists accelerate drug development.

  • Here’s a simplified breakdown of “AlphaProteo’s” process:

    1. Target Molecule Input: The AI system is provided with a target molecule.

    2. Protein Design: It generates various protein sequences derived from existing protein databases in the Protein Data Bank (PDB).

    3. Binding Prediction: It predicts the ability of each generated protein sequence to bind to the target molecule.

  • “AlphaProteo” stopped SARS-CoV-2 (i.e., a coronavirus that causes COVID-19) from infecting cells within days.

Why It’s Important:
  • “AlphaProteo” condenses years of scientific research into days of AI-generated simulations that provide interactions between proteins and target molecules.

  • “AlphaProteo” could help block viruses, fight cancer, and treat diseases more effectively through targeted treatments.

AI RESEARCH

📖AI Gets Smarter, One Reread at a Time

Image Source: Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)/“Re-Reading Improves Reasoning in Large Language Models (LLMs)”

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) discovered “Re-Reading (RE2),” a prompting technique that makes AI models reread user queries twice.

“RE2” improves complex reasoning and mathematical understanding in AI models by identifying more patterns, relationships, and logical connections within user queries.

In comparison, it’s like clarifying a statement when talking with someone to ensure they understand it.
