The Daily's Verdict
This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.
Bias
85%
Examples:
- Most large language models are trained up to a certain point then before release the knowledge is locked away. OpenAI’s GPT-4 has live data up to April last year but supplements this with the ability to search the web using Bing,
- > Our architecture allows us to scale horizontally without sacrificing speed or efficiency... It’s a game-changer for processing intensive AI tasks, Mark Heaps, > The other significant advantage is being able to find a single piece of information from within a large context window, although that is in the future versions where you could even have real-time fine-tuning of the models, learning from human interaction and adapting.
Conflicts of Interest
50%
Examples:
- Serving up tokens faster than anyone. We’re building A LOT more hardware and increasing capacity weekly.
- The Rabbit R1 was already an impressive device
