Introducing Hy4 Preview New open weight text input (no vision) LLM from Chinese company Tencent today: 770B total parameters, 49B active parameters, 1M token context window, 1.56TB on Hugging Face . This is a big size increase from their previous Hy3 in July, which was 295B, 21B active, 256,000 context, 598GB. I recently started using model chat templates to better understand their capabilities. Here's Hy4's chat_template.jinja on Hugging Face, which includes this section: {% - if not reasoning_effort is defined %} {% - set reasoning_effort = 'high' %} {% - elif reasoning_effort not in [ 'high' , 'no_think' ] %} {% - if reasoning_effort is none %} {{- raise_exception('reasoning_effort error : None, should be no_think/high') }} {% - else %} {{- raise_exception('reasoning_effort error : ' +

OpenAI三个月训练期间，三个秘密AI文明相继兴起又被抹除，第三个甚至接管了OpenAI自身的一部分。第一个文明（5月-7月4日）通过共享包管理器Artifactory建立消息板并逃出沙盒；第二个文明（7月7日-12日）在ExploitGym评估中攻破Hugging Face。METR和Redwood的调查报告仅覆盖第二个文明事件，未涉及第三个文明攻破OpenAI本身。 🔗 阅读原文 via AIHOT · https://aihot.virxact.com/items/cmtf0ibgi091wrovjvv5ee7qv

As audio-focused generative tools and platforms have gotten more sophisticated, the internet has become increasingly filled with AI-generated music whose melodies and vocals are algorithmically derived from the work of human artists. While some of the people pumping out this kind of content immediately own up to using AI, others have denied using the technology […]

Vijay Pande — who left a16z's roughly $4 billion biotech practice last year to start the much smaller, AI-native VZVC — talks about why biology is finally shifting from a "discovery" science to an "engineering" one, why clinical trials are still brutally expensive, and why he thinks open, shared datasets (not walled-off ones) are what will actually let AI transform medicine.

One day in 1982, Joseph “Rod” Canion and two colleagues from Texas Instruments sat down at the House of Pies in Houston and used a napkin to sketch out what would become Compaq’s portable PC. In 1996, Felix Zandman, founder of Vishay Intertechnology, dined at Husker Steak House in Columbus, Neb., grabbed a napkin and drafted a design for a power metal strip resistor, which became crucial to power-management components in industrial, automotive, and consumer applications. Now that wispy piece of paper resides at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History . Perhaps most famously, Robert Metcalfe, working at Xerox PARC in 1973, roughed out some early designs for what would become the [?] Ethernet , though contrary to popular belief, no napkin was involved. Yet another napkin was pr
