OLMo2:

A continuation of the fully open source training efforts, Allen AI has released a new generation of language models that are transparent from top to bottom. They match or surpass the best available open weight models.

When we become cogs:

AI boosts material scientists' efficiency, leading to a 44% increase in material discoveries but a 44% drop in work satisfaction due to reduced idea generation tasks. GitHub Copilot enhances productivity for less skilled developers, shifting focus from project management to coding. AI narrows skill gaps but risks alienation by automating creative tasks, echoing past automation impacts in various industries.

AI Alone Isn't Ready for Chip Design:

Hybrid approaches that combine classical search methods and machine learning are showing promise in overcoming the complexities of chip design, particularly in floorplanning tasks. While AI alone struggles with multi-constraint scenarios, integrating AI for guiding search-based algorithms like simulated annealing enhances efficiency and effectiveness. This combination can accelerate design processes and enable more complex chip solutions.

Amazon to invest another $4 billion in Anthropic, OpenAI's biggest rival:

Amazon announced a $4 billion investment in Anthropic, bringing its total investment to $8 billion while establishing AWS as Anthropic's primary cloud and training partner.

OpenAI is funding research into 'AI morality':

OpenAI is funding Duke University to research AI algorithms that predict human moral judgments.
