Recently I was impressed by an article from Apple testing the ability of LLMs to do formal logical reasoning and how they perform on mathematical tasks. https://lnkd.in/dh56qnyn 💡The paper introduces a new benchmark, GSM-Symbolic, and it reveals that even minor variations in mathematical questions can reduce accuracy by up to 65%. 🧠 This finding is quite interesting since it highlights some pitfals in training and testing the LLMs especially on reasoning tasks and it shows that even the most powerful models still have issues with formal languages. We Iris.ai have a clear focus on properly evaluating LLMs for business cases and definitely see a lot of limitations in current benchmarks. Hopefully soon we will have a much more comprehensive measurement mechanisms which will provide an environment for further development of LLMs. #AI #MachineLearning #LLMs #Mathematics #Innovation #Technology

As AI continues to revolutionize industries, understanding the differences between Small Language Models (SLMs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) is critical 🔍 Whether you’re optimizing for cost, performance, or domain-specific tasks, knowing when to use each model can significantly impact your AI projects. In our latest blog post we share insights on how SLMs can be more practical than LLMs for targeted tasks in scientific research. From cost-effectiveness and transparency to specialized performance, SLMs shine in niche applications. On the other hand, LLMs excel in handling complex, versatile tasks but come with higher resource demands 🌟 🔗 Read more on the blog: https://lnkd.in/djWQNBuc #AI #MachineLearning #NaturalLanguageProcessing #SLMs #LLMs #Technology

We just finished an amazing AI hackathon in Sofia! After organizing events like Future of Blockchain back in 2018 and 2019 and attending hackathons across four continents, I can honestly say this one was special. #AIHackathonSofia Not only did it happen on our own turf in Sofia, but the turnout was great. What really impressed me was the #variety and #quality of the people and projects. From social apps to more complex infra, the level of creativity was outstanding. I saw some really cool uses of different AI tools and well-refined LLMs. The technical expertise and practical application were truly impressive. #AIInnovation As an early-stage investor, it's exciting to see so much potential. I'm proud to have supported this event and we at LAUNCHub Ventures provided prizes for the top 3 winners. I am so bullish on the #SEE region and #Bulgaria in particular. I see #Sofia becoming a strong centre for #AIInnovation Big thanks to the organisers: Iliya Valchanov and Ilko Kacharov from TeamGPT. Your hard work made this happen. And to our great judges: Michael Montano from TrueVentures, Victor Botev from Iris.ai, and Deyan Genovski from Appolica | Venture studio – your feedback was invaluable. A special thanks to our amazing host, Yavor Belakov from Artificial Intelligence Education Foundation AIEF. Your energy kept everyone involved throughout the event. Events like this remind me why I love being part of the tech world. To all the hackers who took part: keep building, keep pushing boundaries. You're shaping the future of AI, and I can't wait to see what you create next! #AIFuture #TechInnovation #SofiaAIHub #BulgarianTech #AIHackathon More picture here- https://lnkd.in/dePFe3v5

🥈 2nd place in the awesome AI Hackathon organized by Yavor Belakov and AiEF Europe. 🚀 This was my first Hackathon and it was so interesting building an AI product in less than 24h. What did we decide to build? An AI podcast post-production tool that: - 🌐 Translates podcasts to different languages - ⏱️ Creates timestamps - 🔍 Researches guests based on LinkedIn, Twitter, and other websites - ✍️ Generates blogs and LinkedIn posts from the podcast transcript We are going to launch it, so if someone is interested in using it, let me know :) It was so cool meeting people that I have looked up to, one of whom was Teodosy Teodosiev. Thanks to Georgi Nenov for the podcast from which I learned so much about the story of Teodosy Teodosiev. Link to the episode: https://lnkd.in/drD64Yrf Getting feedback and talking with experts like Iliya Valchanov, Deyan Genovski, Victor Botev, and Michael Montano was incredibly inspiring and motivating :) 🙏 Thanks to all the sponsors and LAUNCHub Ventures for the prize award. We were a team of two, working together with Dimitar Yordanov. I can confidently say that collaborating with Mitko on numerous projects has helped us develop a strong connection. We can understand each other even without speaking, which greatly contributed to our success in securing this place. Thank you, Mitko. I truly love working with you.
