📆OpenAI Postpones Search Engine Reveal

OpenAI postponed a developer conference at the company’s headquarters, at which the startup’s leaders were rumored to reveal a ChatGPT-powered search engine that rivals Google Search.

Key Details:

• Pete Huang, the host of The Neuron podcast, posted on X: “Search (dot) ChatGPT (dot) com.”

• Currently, there’s little information about the soon-to-launch ChatGPT-powered search engine. However, a Y Combinator Hacker News forum discovered that OpenAI registered a new domain under search.chatgpt.com with an SSL certificate.

• When OpenAI CEO Sam Altman appeared on the Lex Fridman podcast in March, he said: “The intersection of LLMs plus search, I don’t think anyone has cracked the code yet. I would love to do that. I think that would be cool.”

Why It’s Important:

• OpenAI executives have been active on social media platforms, mocking the startup’s current product offerings and laughing at how limited current Big Tech GenAI products are.

• At the Milken Institute Q&A event, OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap stated, “We’ll look back in a year and realize how laughably bad they were.”

• OpenAI might challenge search giants like Google Search by offering a new way to find information through LLMs like GPT-4.

🪦The Transformer Killer?

Sepp Hochreiter, a Deep Learning pioneer and the original creator of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), unveiled a revolutionary new LLM architecture called “Extended Long Short-Term Memory (xLSTM).”

Key Details:

• LSTM networks are a type of recurrent neural network capable of learning order dependence in sequence prediction problems like machine translation or speech recognition.

• Simply put, LSTM networks can learn the order of things in a sequence, like words in a sentence, and use that knowledge to make predictions.

• However, LSTM networks have three major weaknesses:

  1. The Inability to Revise Storage Decisions

  2. Limited Storage Capacities

  3. A Lack of Parallelizability Due to Memory Mixing

• Simply put, LSTM networks can forget things they shouldn’t, can’t remember everything forever, and take time to process information because they can’t do it all at once.

• To solve these issues, Hochreiter’s research team developed “xLSTM,” enabling LSTM networks to revise storage decisions and enhance storage capacities.

Why It’s Important:

• The “xLSTM” architecture efficiently handles various aspects of long context prompts and has better validation perplexities than Transformers.

• Most popular LLMs rely on Transformers, a type of neural network that transforms an input sequence into an output sequence. “xLSTMs” might replace the Transformer.

AI RESEARCH

🎓Can Teachers Detect AI?!

A series of studies by several German universities revealed that novice and experienced teachers struggled to distinguish between student-written and AI-generated texts.

ScienceDirect outlined the two studies, showcasing that 89 novice and 200 experienced teachers had difficulty identifying texts generated by OpenAI’s ChatGPT when asked to evaluate them on the dimensions of “language,” “structure,” and “content.”

The first study tested pre-service teachers enrolled in a Master of Education (M.Ed.) program at German universities. The participants correctly identified only 45.1% of AI-generated texts.

The second study tested experienced teachers with English as their first language. The participants correctly identified just 37.8% of AI-generated texts.

These two studies revealed that novice and experienced teachers were overconfident in their ability to spot AI-generated text.
