AI Supremacy

Image Credit: Ivy Liu Hello Everyone, I’m not a big fan of Facebook historically, and I had noticed Meta was a huge buyer of Nvidia H100 AI chips. However with Llama-2 and in particular Llama-3 will do to the open source (open-weight) community has been and will be tremendous. Help support my work for as little as $2 a week. It makes a big difference for my coverage of emerging tech.

Hey Everyone, I’m not even a huge music lover but I’ve been thinking a lot about Suno AI vs. Udio the past week. Udio is a generative artificial intelligence model that produces music based on prompts that has somewhat suddenly come to compete with Suno AI. About a week ago Udio AI came out of stealth, and raised just $10M in seed funding from prominent investors and celebs including a16z, Instagram co-founder Mike Kreiger, and musicians will.i.am and Common, but how are they already so good?

Hello Everyone, This week I’m working on some summaries of AI related Reports for my paid subscribers. I’m also launching my new Subreddit where I will explore breaking Emerging Tech news, if that’s your thing. The community is called “Singularity News”. I’m a news fanatic always analyzing the latest in exponential and emerging tech like robotics, semiconductors & AI chips,quantum, synthetic biology and other fields - as well as BigTech in AI.

Hey Everyone, It’s strange how history works. Microsoft Research Asia helped China become the Superpower in AI that is today, and both OpenAI and Microsoft have recently announced that they are building in Japan, China’s main historical opponent. What could be going on?

Hello Everyone, While I usually cover AI chips related things on my newly founded Semiconductor Newsletter, some things are worthy of our macro analysis and I believe this is one of them. Just a quick note, I’m considering adding AI generated voice-overs to AI Supremacy articles, is that something you would use like to listen to on the go or would use?I’m always looking to improve the reader experienc ehere. Let me know how else I can improve the reader experience.

Hello Everyone, This article is going to be a quick introduction to Open-Source AI developer tools. On this Newsletter we have quite a few software developers who are building with LLM open-source models and tools. With the arrival of so many impressive Open-source models of late including open-weight models finally closing the gap with GPT-4 on LMSYS' Chabot Arena, such as Cohereā€™s Command-R, itā€™s time to take a look with the research and analyses of specifically on AI developer tools.

Hey Everyone, Since late 2022 many of us have experienced AI-news overload. There are however times when we crave news and reading material, or insights into the trending AI papers, models and speed of progress. As things accelerate there is no lack of rundowns, AI summaries and curation. But whatā€™s unique about this year, 2024?

Hey Everyone, Elon Musk, is not okay. Coving AVs (ā€œautonomous vehiclesā€) has been extremely disappointing over the last decade, but none more infuriating than Teslaā€™s FSD. These ā€œAI betsā€ are also a warning for the future. Donā€™t trust the billionaire class. Make no mistake, Teslaā€™s FSD story was a marketing ploy and likely one of the biggest frauds of our generation in high-tech consumer products.

Hey Everyone, This is a repost for my new readers. Welcome to my Newsletter, it’s actually Newsletters plural. I love what I do, I wouldn’t want to be doing anything but this. I wanted to touch base with all of you 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. I wanted to re-introduce you to my work. I’m grateful to have readers interested in similar things as to what I think about all day long. This is a Tour of my Newsletters I have compiled for my welcome Email as well as an index with links to the scope of my work.

Hey Everyone, Quillbot, Leonardo, Perplexity, Poe, PIXLR.... After weeks of parsing over 1,000 data points from hundreds of Generative AI tools, it’s here. If you like AI tools, you might want to bookmark this article. If you know my work well, you’ll know I’m obsessed with the intersection of AI and the future of work (archives).
