Resolving "im-a-good-gpt2-chatbot" Mystery

 The emergence of “im-a-good-gpt2-chatbot” and its counterpart “im-all-a-good-gpt2-chatbot” has caused great curiosity and speculation in the AI ​​community. These mysterious AI chatbots have resurfaced on LMSYS Org, a leading benchmarking site for large-scale language models, demonstrating capabilities at GPT-4 levels and above, with some users saying they are even better than the original model. It claims to deliver performance. Their sudden appearance and lack of clear information regarding their origins has sparked heated debates and theories. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tweeted "I'm an excellent GPT2 chatbot" the day before it became available online, suggesting that OpenAI may be A/B testing a new model. Speculation has increased. This assumption is further supported by the fact that LMSYS Org typically works with large AI model providers for anonymous testing services. Despite the intrigue, neither OpenAI nor LMSYS Org have publicly commented on the matter, leaving the c...

DeepMind model predicts life molecules

 Google DeepMind, in collaboration with Isomorphic Labs, announced AlphaFold 3, a breakthrough artificial intelligence (AI) model that can predict the structure and interactions of all molecules of life with unprecedented accuracy. This new model represents a significant advance over the previous generation, his AlphaFold 2, which primarily focused on protein structure prediction. AlphaFold 3 expands the ability to model a wide range of biomolecules, including DNA, RNA, ligands, and other organic elements, providing a comprehensive understanding of life at the molecular level. AlphaFold 3 is based on a next-generation framework and includes an improved version of the Evoformer module, the deep learning architecture that powers AlphaFold 2's superior performance. The model uses a diffusion network to make predictions, starting with a cloud of atoms and going through many steps to arrive at the most accurate molecular structure. This method allows AlphaFold 3 to predict general 3D st...
