This week, Aman Khan and Harrison Chu explore NotebookLM’s unique features, including its ability to generate realistic-sounding podcast episodes from text (but this podcast is very real!). They dive into some technical underpinnings of the product, specifically the SoundStorm model used for generating high-quality audio, and how it leverages a hierarchical vector quantization approach (RVQ) to maintain consistency in speaker voice and tone throughout long audio durations. The discussion also touches on ethical implications of such technology, particularly the potential for hallucinations and the need to balance creative freedom with factual accuracy. We close out with a few hot takes, and speculate on the future of AI-generated audio. Learn more about AI observability and evaluation, join the Arize AI Slack community or get the latest on LinkedIn and X.

OpenAI recently released its o1-preview, which they claim outperforms GPT-4o on a number of benchmarks. These models are designed to think more before answering and handle complex tasks better than their other models, especially science and math questions. We take a closer look at their latest crop of o1 models, and we also highlight some research our team did to see how they stack up against Claude Sonnet 3.5--using a real world use case.

A recent announcement on X boasted a tuned model with pretty outstanding performance, and claimed these results were achieved through Reflection Tuning. However, people were unable to reproduce the results. We dive into some recent drama in the AI community as a jumping off point for a discussion about Reflection 70B.In 2023, there was a paper written about Reflection Tuning that this new model (Reflection 70B) draws concepts from. Reflection tuning is an optimization technique where models learn to improve their decision-making processes by “reflecting” on past actions or predictions. This method enables models to iteratively refine their performance by analyzing mistakes and successes, thus improving both accuracy and adaptability over time. By incorporating a feedback loop, reflection tuning can address model weaknesses more dynamically, helping AI systems become more robust in real-world applications where uncertainty or changing environments are prevalent.Dat Ngo (AI Solutions Architect at Arize), talks to Rohan Pandey (Founding Engineer at Reworkd) about Reflection 70B, Reflection Tuning, the recent drama, and the importance of double checking your research.Learn more about AI observability and evaluation, join the Arize AI Slack community or get the latest on LinkedIn and X.

This week, we're excited to be joined by Kyle O'Brien, Applied Scientist at Microsoft, to discuss his most recent paper, Composable Interventions for Language Models. Kyle and his team present a new framework, composable interventions, that allows for the study of multiple interventions applied sequentially to the same language model. The discussion will cover their key findings from extensive experiments, revealing how different interventions—such as knowledge editing, model compression, and machine unlearning—interact with each other.Read it on the blog: https://arize.com/blog/composable-interventions-for-language-models/Learn more about AI observability and evaluation, join the Arize AI Slack community or get the latest on LinkedIn and X.
