OpenAIā€™s researchers are developing a new Reasoning Engine called ā€œStrawberryā€ that autonomously solves the worldā€™s most complex problems.

Key Details:
  • A Reasoning Engine is a framework that mimics a humanā€™s decision-making capabilities and problem-solving capacity.

  • ā€œStrawberryā€ is built on the Self-Taught Reasoner (STaR) network, which teaches a Reasoning Engine to develop the three core ā€œstep-by-stepā€ thought processes:

    1. Critical Thinking

    2. Design Thinking

    3. Analytical Thinking

  • OpenAI is also using ā€œStrawberryā€ to generate high-quality synthetic training data (i.e., artificially created information) to build a new AI model called ā€œOrion.ā€

  • ā€œOrionā€ reportedly boasts an advanced architecture with more natural, nuanced, and knowledgeable outputs.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • According to The Information, OpenAI demonstrated ā€œStrawberryā€ and ā€œOrionā€ to American national security officials over the summer.

  • ā€œStrawberryā€ and ā€œOrionā€ could pose national security risks as they accelerate AI advancement to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

šŸ›’Google DeepMindā€™s New ā€œGemsā€ Feature

Google DeepMind rolled out a series of new features for Gemini Advanced, Business, and Enterprise users.

Key Details:
  • ā€œGemini 1.5 Proā€ is a conversational chatbot that can process large amounts of text, images, audio, video, and code.

  • Google DeepMindā€™s ā€œGemini 1.5 Proā€ updates improve its ability to solve challenging math problems.

  • It achieved an 82.6% on the Math Word Problem Solving (MATH) benchmark, which covers 12,500 algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus problems.

  • A new ā€œGemsā€ feature creates specialized AI assistants for specific tasks.

  • For example, ā€œCareer Guideā€ unlocks your career potential with detailed plans to refine your work skills.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • These new features directly challenge similar offerings from competitors.

  • For instance, ā€œGemsā€ is a direct response to OpenAIā€™s GPT Store, which allows Plus, Team, and Enterprise users to build and discover custom versions of ChatGPT.

AI RESEARCH

šŸ§ AI Measures What Speeds Up Brain Aging

A newly devised ā€œAI Brian Clockā€ determines whether a personā€™s brain is aging faster than their chronological age would suggest.

The study analyzed the resting brain activity of 5,306 participants across 15 countries. These participants were either healthy, had Alzheimerā€™s disease, or suffered from mild cognitive impairment.

The study leveraged an AI model to filter through large datasets of brain scans and corresponding chronological ages. Then, the AI model calculated the ā€œbrain-age gapā€ for each participant.

This ā€œbrain-age gapā€ is the difference between the participantā€™s chronological age and their predicted brain age based on the AI modelā€™s analysis of their brain scans.

Participants from developing regions with socioeconomic inequality and exposure to air pollution exhibited bigger gaps between brain age and chronological age.

ā€œThe way your brain ages isnā€™t just about years. Itā€™s about where you live and what you do,ā€ explained AgustĆ­n IbƔƱez, the studyā€™s lead author and a neuroscientist at Adolfo IbƔƱez University (UAI).
