As generative AI tools proliferate throughout the software industry, we’ve seen the increased importance of training language models on good data. LLMs provide knowledge faster than most manual searches, but bad data doesn’t translate to knowledge—“garbage in, garbage out” has become the mantra of the AI industry. High-quality data makes LLMs perform accurately and efficiently;

AI video is on another level When we tested the energy demands of various models, we found the energy required to produce even a low-quality, five-second video to be pretty shocking: It was 42,000 times more than the amount needed for a chatbot answer a question about a recipe, and enough to power a microwave

Multi-turn conversations with Action-Based Contrastive Self-Training

Are action-based preferences necessary? One of the key factors of ACT is that the contrastive pairs highlight differences between conversational actions. In “ACT w/ Random Actions”, we additionally examine the importance of action selection by randomly sampling both the winning and losing action when constructing the preference pair, and observe this underperforms normal ACT. Do

Between upgrades and breakdowns to cellphones, tablets, laptops, and appliances, so many electronics are getting tossed in the trash that they’ve taken on a name of their own: e-waste. According to a 2024 report issued by the United Nations, the amount of e-waste worldwide has almost doubled in the past 12 years, from 34 billion

Ultra-thin lenses that make infrared light visible

/

Lenses are the most widely used optical devices. Camera lens or objectives, for example, produce a sharp photo or video by directing light at a focal point. The speed of evolution made in the field of optics in recent decades is exemplified by the transformation of conventional bulky cameras into today’s compact smartphone cameras. Even

Self-powered artificial synapse mimics human color vision

/

As artificial intelligence and smart devices continue to evolve, machine vision is taking an increasingly pivotal role as a key enabler of modern technologies. Unfortunately, despite much progress, machine vision systems still face a major problem: processing the enormous amounts of visual data generated every second requires substantial power, storage, and computational resources. This limitation

Discovery could boost solid-state battery performance

/

An emerging technology to make lithium-ion batteries safer and more powerful involves using solid rather than liquid electrolytes, the materials that make it possible for ions to move through the device to generate power. A team of University of Texas at Dallas researchers and their colleagues have discovered that the mixing of small particles between
