Autonomous

🤖 Fully autonomous AI scientist

Tokyo-based Sakana AI has introduced "The AI Scientist," the world's first AI system capable of autonomously conducting scientific research.

What can this AI do?

• Generates new research ideas

• Writes code and runs experiments

• Composes scientific papers

• Performs its own peer review

How accurate is it?

The system operates with near-human accuracy across various tasks in the scientific process.

What has it accomplished so far?

The AI Scientist has already produced papers with novel contributions in machine learning domains like language modeling and diffusion models.

How much does it cost?

Each paper costs approximately $15 to produce, potentially democratizing research capabilities.

What's the vision for the future?

Sakana AI envisions autonomous AI reviewers, area chairs, and even entire AI-run conferences.

Why should we care?

This breakthrough could dramatically accelerate scientific progress, allowing researchers to collaborate with AI agents and automate time-consuming tasks. We might be entering an era where academia is powered by a tireless community of AI agents, working non-stop on any problem they're directed to tackle.

TODAY`s PICK

• Steve Endacott, an AI designed by Neural Voice has contested in the UK parliament — was elected in the General Elections, it happened to be the first instance when AI was in a government system that controls society.

• Google is rolling out a new "Take notes for me" feature powered by its Gemini AI for it’s Google Meet feature, allowing users to focus on the meeting while the AI automatically captures key points.

• SingularityNET is launching a worldwide network of supercomputers to host and train the architectures required for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), with the first node coming online as early as September.

• The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) just proposed new regulations requiring AI-generated voice calls to disclose the use of artificial intelligence.

• Verizon is introducing an AI system that can analyze millions of dig requests to alert construction workers and homeowners when they’re at risk of accidentally damaging its fiber internet lines.

• Nvidia is teaming up with the state of California to train 100,000 students, developers, and data scientists on how to use a variety of advanced AI tools.

🧞‍♂️ GENIE Breaks Records

Cosine's new AI, Genie, has shattered the high score on SWE-Bench, a benchmark for evaluating coding abilities of large language models.

How impressive is the score?

• Genie scored 30.08% on SWE-Bench

• This is a 57% improvement over previous top performers

• Amazon's Q and Code Factory scored 19%

• GPT-4 scores only 1.31%

What's Genie's secret sauce?

• Trained on dataset emulating human software engineers' work process

• Focuses on incremental knowledge discovery and step-by-step decision making

• Can iterate, re-plan, and re-execute when it makes mistakes

Is Genie available yet?

• Not yet released to the general public

• Waitlist is currently open for interested users

Why should we care?

• Represents a new approach to AI training, mimicking human-like processes

• Could lead to smarter, more adaptable AI systems

• May influence how other companies develop AI models in the future

What's the potential impact?

• Could revolutionize software development

• Might lead to more efficient and accurate coding practices

• Possible widespread adoption of this training method in AI development

This breakthrough could mark a significant shift in AI capabilities, potentially transforming the landscape of software engineering and AI development.
