… It defines a frontier model as any AI model trained using more than $100 million in computational costs, which likely could apply to America’s largest AI labs, like OpenAI, Google, xAI, Anthropic, and Meta. “We support approaches like this because they focus on what matters most: Reducing the risk … …
… Recently, employees at Meta petitioned against the rollout of tracking software on their laptops to train AI systems, and the company later allowed for more exemptions from the initiative. The Meta workers have also been frustrated over the use of mass layoffs to free up cash for AI projects. …
… HiSilicon says it’s also improving chip performance by accounting for nanoscale electronic phenomena; designing chips to work well together; and developing interconnects that speed chip-to-chip communication, a key trick for training large AI models. “For both AI training and inference, the win is … …
… SpaceXAI also put out a blog post sharing more details about the deal, which will see Anthropic draw power from xAI’s Colossus 1 supercomputer. The partnership comes at a pivotal time for SpaceXAI, which is seeking to go public as soon as next month. …
… Squanch chose to honor gamers' concerns and not use AI again. There was similar backlash against Divinity last year when Larian Studios’ CEO admitted the game used generative AI. Gamers didn’t care that it was used for workflow; just the mention of AI forced the company to walk it back. …
… Cursor has also started training in-house AI models that it can cost effectively serve to customers. The startup recently launched Composer 2, an AI model based on an open-source system from the Chinese AI lab Moonshot AI, that Cursor did additional pretraining and post-training on. …
… The government slapped the label on Anthropic after it pushed for limitations on how its AI could be used by the military. …
… In Tuesday’s filing, the lawyers argued that the Pentagon “cannot simply flip a switch at a time when Anthropic currently is the only AI model cleared for use” on the department’s’s “classified systems and high-intensity combat operations are underway.” The department is working to deploy AI system… …
… The world of AI is now more focused on LLMs and a different approach to training that involves feeding vast quantities of human text scraped from books, internet pages, and other sources into AI algorithms. Reinforcement learning has, however, played an important role in creating today’s AI systems. …
… The brief also says that the red lines Anthropic claims it requested, including that its AI wouldn’t be used for mass domestic surveillance and the development of autonomous lethal weapons, are legitimate concerns and require sufficient guardrails. “In the absence of public law, the contractual and… …
