Behavior Models, Temperature Tweaks, and Safety Battles
The FAIK Files
Intro
This chapter introduces the concept of a large behavior model, sparking mixed reactions among the hosts. It also reviews Grok's latest chaotic release and concludes with a warning about the legal risks associated with downloading DeepSeek.
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
