Am beginning to believe our obsession with VC (and unicorns) as a model for translating AI possibilities into reality is at the heart of the challenges we now face. So little progress from VC backed companies in translating this technology into the solutions people are asking for. For a sense of what people want see this RS Ipsos Mori poll published 2017. https://lnkd.in/ezpG_HGi Where we have progress on these things (Health, social care, education, justice) it often comes piecemeal from smaller companies that are unlikely to ever scale in the manner VC desires (perhaps mules instead of unicorns??). I think we need more companies who address the actual problems people have rather than problems that VCs imagine people might have in the future. (This is definitely not a comment against Nathan Benaich ... who was an early adopter and has been a gem in the UK AI ecosystem ... thanks for being here Nathan! Rather a realisation that we are being too simplistic about the type of companies we're incentivising ... too much unicorn ... not enough mule ...)

🚀 Breaking New Records in AI Inference Speed! Cerebras has just set a new standard in the world of AI. They’ve unveiled a cutting-edge inference platform for Large Language Models (LLMs) that boasts an incredible speed of 1,800 tokens per second on Llama 3.1 8B and 450 tokens per second for 70B. This performance is approximately 20 times faster than NVIDIA and 2 times faster than Groq! 🤯 What’s driving this breakthrough? It’s all about specialized hardware that optimizes memory usage on the chip, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in AI inference. As we look ahead, the implications for industries relying on AI are profound—from faster decision-making to more responsive AI systems. 🚀 What do you think this means for the future of AI development? Are we on the cusp of a new era in machine learning capabilities? Large LLM workloads such as agentic tasks will definetly benefit from it ! 🔗 Try now at https://lnkd.in/d2zRR85p #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #Innovation #Technology #FutureOfAI

There's been a lot of talk as of recent, around the true value and economic potential of GenAI applications. When will we see them and will the big investments pay off? For those developing products - this session with Emerson Taymor will help you ensure you're seeing value along your journey! Specifically, you'll walk away with; * Learn specific ways that you can leverage GenAI when working with global teams * Gain tool kits for integrating GenAI in your user research process to help you go faster * Discover new tools that can improve all stages of the product development process to maximize speed * Understand specific caveats and pitfalls that should be avoided when thinking about GenAI in the product process We hope you enjoy this session, and the other sessions in our business strategy track at the 8th annual Toronto Machine Learning Society (TMLS) Conference! 📍 See full agenda here: https://lnkd.in/eRyr9HDJ Also, don't forget to download our event app where you can see who is attending, network and schedule meetings with other attendees at the conference! 🥂 We'll see you shortly!

Really amazing news that this work has been recognised. As a side comment, it's amazing how you can go from being rejected by one venue to being awarded 'Best' paper by another - I think it's a reminder that writing/submitting a paper at all is a success and it not being selected for presentation isn't necessarily failure. There's lots going on with this bit of work... - we currently have a researcher working with teachers to try and figure out how to turn Ryelands AI Lab into an accessible package that any school can use. Do you have experience with that and want to share it? Get in touch! - we're employing someone to apply Design Research to exploring hands-on approaches to AI literacy in schools, could that be you? Reach out! - after a recent meeting at DfE it was clear there's a big need for things like Design Research (dynamic, adaptable, nimble, quick-to-respond research approaches) ... however, it was also clear that the intermediate knowledge arising from such projects is not, yet, considered "the highest form of evidence" that government departments require ... I'm fascinated to see how we can progress this last point. How can we integrate Design Research into a research 'stack' that includes the best of all the available approaches, balancing their pros/cons? ... themes that are explored in our film, Permission to Muck About (see https://lnkd.in/dTK9wUnC), which I will be posting about quite a lot soon.. so, buckle up 😀) But, back on the point.. Huge congrats to everyone involved it this project. A well-deserved accolade!

Tunisian-born InstaDeep AI startup has risen as a global leader in AI! 🚀 Their Genomics Generative Model has quickly become the most downloaded Genomics Generative AI model on Hugging Face, showcasing their unparalleled innovation. 🧬 Originating in Tunis, InstaDeep has expanded to major AI hubs worldwide which exemplified successful collaboration between the South and North and proudly represented Tunisian competency on the global stage. 🌍 As a result of this confidence and recognition, it successfully raised €100 million in Series B funding in 2022 and was in 2023 acquired by German-born BioNTech in a deal worth over €636 million.🌱💼 But this success story also highlights the potential of Generative AI beyond mainstream Language-only Models or those with multiple modalities to its impact in crucial and diverse areas such as Genomics Analysis. 🧬💡 #AI #GenerativeAI #Innovation #SuccessStory #Tunisia
