Behavior Models, Temperature Tweaks, and Safety Battles
The FAIK Files
Engaging with Listeners and Technical Glitches
The hosts promote listener interaction by inviting feedback through email and voicemail while acknowledging technical issues faced during the broadcast. They wrap up by encouraging subscriptions and promoting further content in the show notes.
Welcome back to the FAIK Files!
On this week's episode,
- We explore the world of AI hallucinations. What causes them? Do they make AI useless, or could they potentially lead to scientific breakthroughs
- We dive into emerging AI models like Large Behavior Models (LBMs) and how they differ from traditional Large Language Models
- We examine the ongoing battle for AI safety with a focus on xAI's newest release, Grok 3
- And finally, DeepSeek is still causing ripples
