Tesla recently rolled out a series of new autopilot and self-driving features, including improved self-parking, auto-lane changing, and traffic navigation.
Key Details:
Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) is a suite of semi-autonomous driving tools that provide active guidance and assisted driving for the burdensome parts of piloting cars (e.g., steering, braking, or accelerating).
It’s powered by large volumes of Neural Networks (NNs) trained through driving data, such as handling turns, obstacles, and speed adjustments.
Tesla Vision leverages a network of cameras, ultrasonic sensors, radar, and Computer Vision algorithms to constantly monitor the vehicle’s surroundings.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk explained that Tesla Vision is designed to replicate how human vision functions with our eyes and brain.
FSD 12.4.3 offers Vision-Based Attention Monitoring, which uses the car’s interior camera to ensure the driver is actively paying attention to the road.
Why It’s Important:
NNs are a “Black Box” that requires large amounts of data and computational resources. Musk cannot isolate each independent variable’s (e.g., photographic road data) influence on the dependent variables (e.g., accident probability).
Autonomous vehicles threaten ride-sharing and truck driver job security. Over-the-air updates are inconceivable for legacy carmakers.

Mistral AI and NVIDIA released Mistral NeMo, a new open-source Small Language Model (SLM) that offers state-of-the-art reasoning, world knowledge, and coding.
Key Details:
Mistral Nemo boasts a 128K token context window that excels in multi-turn conversations, common sense reasoning, and math applications.
Mistral AI also unveiled “Tekken,” a tokenizer that efficiently represents text across over 100 languages, including Chinese, Italian, French, German, Spanish, and Russian.
Mistral NeMo is designed to run on a single NVIDIA L40S, GeForce RTX 4090, or GeForce RTX 4500 Ada Generation, bringing powerful AI capabilities to standard business hardware.
Why It’s Important:
The “Tekken” tokenizer effectively compresses text across over 100 languages, leading to smaller AI model sizes equipped with faster processing.
Mistral Nemo is a cost-effective alternative to Large Language Models (LLMs), making advanced AI applications accessible to more businesses with NVIDIA hardware.
AI HARDWARE
👷♂️OpenAI’s Custom AI Chip
OpenAI reportedly talked with global infrastructure technology leader Broadcom to develop custom processors tailored for the company’s conversational chatbots.
OpenAI is also considering creating new companies with outside investors to finance infrastructure initiatives like data centers that are essential for AI developments.
OpenAI hopes to reduce reliance on NVIDIA by streamlining access to computing resources, preventing bottlenecks in processing power that halt AI advancements.
AI RESEARCH
🔩Groq’s New Llama-3-Groq-Tool-Use
Groq announced two new open-source AI models built with Meta’s Llama 3 and designed for software tool use to automate repetitive tasks, build powerful assistants, or enhance scientific workflows.
Llama-3-Groq-70B-Tool-Use is the highest-performing AI model on the Berkley Function-Calling Leaderboard (BFCL): a benchmark that evaluates how well Large Language Models (LLMs) interact with software tools.
It achieved 90.76% accuracy on the BFCL benchmark, securing the top position for all proprietary and open-source AI models.
Llama-3-Groq-70B-Tool-Use leverages Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) to align the AI model with human preferences.
It’s trained exclusively on synthetic datasets or information artificially generated rather than produced by real-world events.
