Deep dives
Geopolitics of AI
The podcast discusses the geopolitics of AI, highlighting the global competition surrounding new AI models and regulatory regimes. Spain has launched the Spanish Agency for the Supervision of Artificial Intelligence, becoming the first European country to establish a dedicated AI agency. The agency aims to develop inclusive and sustainable AI frameworks. Meanwhile, the UK is making efforts to be a global leader in AI development and regulation, hosting the AI Safety Summit and allocating funds for AI research in healthcare. These national efforts are complemented by big tech companies launching customized local AI solutions.
Meta's CodeLama
Meta has released CodeLama, a dedicated language model (LLM) for coding. CodeLama is a specialized version of Lama 2, trained on code-specific datasets. It can generate code, provide natural language explanations of code, assist with code completion, and debugging. CodeLama offers various models of different sizes and language variants. The release of CodeLama signifies the importance of AI models for coding. Meta's CodeLama competes with other coding LLMs such as Amazon's Code Whisperer, Microsoft's GitHub Co-pilot, and forthcoming tools like Google's AlphaCode.
Competition and Challenges
The podcast explores the intense competition in the coding LLM space. Meta's CodeLama is seen as a major milestone, bridging the gap to models like GPT 3.5 and potentially impacting closed LLM competitors. Synthetic data and AI-generated examples contribute to the performance of CodeLama, surpassing GPT 3.5 in certain evaluations. Media attention also raises concerns about copyright infringement, malicious usage, and the potential implications of training AI models on AI-generated data. Despite the rapid advancements in coding LLMs, the market responds to broader macro factors, such as the stock market's reaction to the Fed Chair's speech at Jackson Hole.
Meta has released LLM-for-coding Code Llama in numerous versions. NLW explores the community discussion, including some interesting data around an unreleased version trained on synthetic data that seemed to perform better than any other. Before that on the Brief, Spain starts an AI agency; the UK announces more details of its AI Safety Summit and new AI models out of South Korea and China.
