NVIDIA has unveiled an AI agent, Eureka, which possesses the capability to autonomously generate algorithms for training robots.

This innovation enhances the robot's learning process, allowing them to acquire complex skills at an accelerated pace.

Eureka utilizes large language models to generate reward code for robot reinforcement learning, continuously refining itself by evaluating results and adapting rewards. Impressively, in tests, Eureka outperformed human-written algorithms over 80% of the time.

This advancement signals a future in which robots can learn skills with the same adaptability as humans, marking a significant leap in robotics development.

👀 New AI System Rectifies Hallucinations in AI Models

Chinese researchers have introduced 'Woodpecker,' a system designed to identify and correct hallucinations in multimodal AI models like GPT-4.

Hallucinations, which involve generating inaccurate information, are a recurring challenge in conversational AI.

Woodpecker employs a 5-stage pipeline to validate text against images, highlighting inconsistencies.

Remarkably, it enhanced the accuracy of MiniGPT-4 by more than 30% in benchmarks through transparent adjustments.

This training-free correction method proves to be more efficient than previous approaches that required retraining models.

Woodpecker's emergence could mark a significant step toward enhancing the reliability of AI-generated outputs, particularly in the context of hallucination issues.

🔥 Apple is planning big things with AI

According to a recent Bloomberg report, Apple is actively responding to the AI wave after initially being caught off-guard.

The company plans to integrate generative AI into all of its products to keep pace with its competitors.

This move includes the deep integration of a new Siri version, which will be powered by a proprietary large language model. Anticipated AI features involve improving auto-complete in Messages, playlist generation in Music, providing code suggestions in Xcode, and more.

Nevertheless, Apple faces internal concerns regarding whether its AI technology can match the capabilities of models like ChatGPT, LaMDA, and Claude. The company is also deliberating the trade-offs between on-device and cloud processing for various AI features.

Apple recognizes the importance of maintaining its reputation and is making strides to regain a leading position in AI. Expect to see bold actions from the tech giant.
