OpenR: An Open-Source AI Framework Enhancing Reasoning in Large Language Models
Large language models (LLMs) have made significant progress in language generation, but their reasoning skills remain insufficient for complex problem-solving. Tasks such as mathematics, coding, and scientific questions continue to…
Holistic Evaluation of Vision Language Models (VHELM): Extending the HELM Framework to VLMs
One of the most pressing challenges in the evaluation of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) is related to not having comprehensive benchmarks that assess the full spectrum of model capabilities. This is…
Director Morgan Neville is steering clear of generative AI after ‘Roadrunner’ backlash
One of the most attention-grabbing aspects of “Roadrunner,” the Morgan Neville-directed documentary about Anthony Bourdain, was Neville’s use of generative AI to replicate Bourdain’s voice. Looking back now, Neville told…
Apple Researchers Introduce GSM-Symbolic: A Novel Machine Learning Benchmark with Multiple Variants Designed to Provide Deeper Insights into the Mathematical Reasoning Abilities of LLMs
Recent progress in LLMs has spurred interest in their mathematical reasoning skills, especially with the GSM8K benchmark, which assesses grade-school-level math abilities. While LLMs have shown improved performance on GSM8K,…
F5-TTS: A Fully Non-Autoregressive Text-to-Speech System based on Flow Matching with Diffusion Transformer (DiT)
The current challenges in text-to-speech (TTS) systems revolve around the inherent limitations of autoregressive models and their complexity in aligning text and speech accurately. Many conventional TTS models require complex…
Apple might release a $2,000 Vision headset next year
Apple’s Vision Pro hasn’t exactly reshaped the market, but the company isn’t giving up on headsets that combine the digital and real worlds. A new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman…
The promise and perils of synthetic data
Is it possible for an AI to be trained just on data generated by another AI? It might sound like a harebrained idea. But it’s one that’s been around for…
The original source code for Backyard Baseball is long gone. Mega Cat Studios remastered the game anyway.
Backyard Baseball 1997 is back in all of its nostalgic glory, sliding onto Steam like Pablo Sanchez when he steals a base. But before Mega Cat Studios could remaster the…
