Did you know Mark Zuckerberg Surprises Tech World After Confirming Meta’s First Open-Sourced AGI
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg just surprised the world today after confirming how the tech giant was creating its own open-source AGI.
The
news came in the form of a reel that mentioned how plans are going
strong in terms of bridging two of its leading AI research teams
together called FAIR and GenAI. The goal is to create a bigger general
intelligence team and then go about open-sourcing this, it added.
The
long-term vision described so far has to do with creating general
intelligence and making sure it’s all done responsibly. This would make
sure it’s up for grabs to all so the world can benefit. Moreover, the
video provides how it’s becoming so clear what next-generation services
are needed to develop a fuller general intelligence endeavor.
Only then can we say hello to the biggest and best AI assistants from
all over the globe? We also have news on how it can give rise to
facilitating all modern areas of technology and AI that vary from
planning and coding to the likes of reasoning, cognition, and beyond.
Mark
Zuckerberg also revealed some more interesting roll outs planned as it
works more in the domain of training Llama 3, calling it a huge compute
infrastructure. It’s currently in the construction process and includes
close to 350k Nvidia H100s that will come about by this year’s end.
He
similarly mentioned how the company’s Metaverse is another huge deal
where work is still being done, not to mention the Ray-Ban smart glasses
that we’ve been hearing about for years. Such glasses are called the
ideal form factor for enabling AI to help the wearer see and hear what
the normal person can, just so that it serves as a standby assistant for
helping out when deemed necessary.
All of this announcement comes at a time when we are hearing more about the great skepticism generated by others about Meta’s innovative plans. This includes criticism by the ChatGPT maker firm OpenAI’s CEO who spoke at this year’s forum in Switzerland. He added how the goal right now was linked to making the most of advanced AI technology, and ensuring that the risks linked to AGI are not as great as people once claimed them to be.
It similarly arises during a period when Meta’s chief scientist Yann
LeCun kept a strict tone on how he felt AGI would be coming any time
soon, stating that it’s all very unpredictable. According to him, we
might not see it, even in the next five years.
Lastly, it's
arriving during a period when many suggested that Meta's AGI endeavor
for the future could potentially be open-sourced. This speculation arose
as Llama, along with other open-source AI projects, gained prominence
throughout the previous year.
As one can expect, the news will
drive critics up the walls who have debated open-source AI over
close-source AI, especially as the number of studies discussing open
models serving as destructive sleeping agents continues to peak.
