Domestic large-model startups are creating new records at the forefront of technology. On October 30, Baichuan Intelligent officially released the Baichuan2-192K long window large model, which increased the length of the large language model (LLM) context window to 192K tokens in one fell swoop. This is equivalent to letting the large model process about 350,000 Chinese characters at a time, and the length reaches 14 times that of GPT-4 (32K tokens, about 25,000 words) and 4.4 times that of Claude 2.0 (100K tokens, about 80,000 words). In other words, Baichuan2-192K can read “The Three-Body Problem 2” in one go and is the large model with the longest processing context window in the world. In addition, it also significantly leads its opponents in multiple dimensions such as text generation quality, context understanding, and question and answer capabilities. What exactly can a large model that can understand very long text do at once? Baichuan Intelligence conducted a simple demonstration. Upload the entire PDF file of “Three-Body 2: Dark Forest”. The Baichuan large model counts 300,000 words. Next, if you ask any question about the novel, the big model can give you a concise and accurate answer.

On October 31, Ma Tengyu, an alumnus of the Yao Class of 2012 at Tsinghua University and currently an assistant professor at Stanford University, announced his entrepreneurial news on social media and established Voyage AI – a company dedicated to building embedding/vectorization models to help large language models (LLM) obtain Startup for better search quality. Voyage AI co-founder and CEO Ma Tengyu said that the Voyage team is composed of a group of talented artificial intelligence researchers, including Stanford University professors and Ph.D.s from Stanford University and MIT. The company hopes to empower customers to build better RAG applications and also provides customized services to increase the accuracy of customers’ LLM products by “10-20%.” Search Enhanced Generation, commonly known as RAG, is a powerful chatbot Design pattern where the retrieval system fetches authenticated sources/documents relevant to the query in real time and feeds them into a generative model (e.g. GPT-4) to generate a response. We know that a chatbot’s effectiveness depends on the accuracy and relevance of the documents it extracts. If what it retrieves includes, in addition to the exact information, other irrelevant information, the LLM may be hallucinating. Embeddings, as representations or “indexes” of documents and queries, are responsible for ensuring that retrieved documents contain information relevant to the query, and also directly affect the quality of the RAG. With high-quality retrieval data, RAG ensures that the responses generated are not only intelligent, but also contextually accurate and informed. On the day of the official announcement, Voyage AI also released a new state-of-the-art embedding model and API (better than OpenAI). According to the official website, the company’s academic advisors include Stanford University professor Christopher Manning, Stanford University associate professor Christopher Ré, and Stanford University’s first Sequoia Chair Professor Li Feifei.

Regarding the series of debates caused by the “AI extinction theory”, bigwigs from all walks of life are quarreling again. Joining the fray this time is Andrew Ng, a well-known artificial intelligence scholar and professor of computer science at Stanford University. Prior to this, the debate between the three giants of deep learning, Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, and Yann LeCun, had already begun. Hinton and Bengio basically agree on the same view. They believe that the supervision of AI technology needs to be strengthened. For example, just a few days ago, Hinton and Bengio issued a joint letter “Managing Artificial Intelligence Risks in an Era of Rapid Development”, calling for the development of AI technology. Before the system is deployed, researchers should take urgent governance measures to focus on safety and ethical practices, and call on governments to take action to manage the risks posed by AI.

How will OpenAI respond when ChatGPT is “hacked” by hackers? Cut off the API and prevent them from using it? No no no. The approach taken by these geeks can be described as an eccentric approach – a backhand shot of “Infernal Affairs”. Although OpenAI did a lot of security testing before releasing ChatGPT, after opening the API, it still couldn’t prevent some hackers with ulterior motives from using it to cause trouble. Then one day, an engineer in the team suddenly discovered that the traffic on the ChatGPT endpoint was abnormal; after some investigation, it was determined that there was a high probability that someone was reverse engineering the API (pirated API). However, OpenAI did not choose to stop these hackers immediately, because if the team did so, the hackers would immediately notice something unusual and then change their strategies and continue the attack. At this time, a member of the team came up with a clever idea: we made it “catGPT”, and each token was “meow”…
