Large language models (LLMs) are becoming so advanced that they can hardly be detected in academic writing. These AI models can generate human-like writing, making it difficult for peer reviewers to distinguish between human and AI writing. The study highlights the need for developing policies on the appropriate use of AI in scientific manuscripts. Read more
A new AI image model called Recraft V3 tops the charts. It's good at creating images with complex scenes, accurate object count, color, and positioning, and even allows users to control text size and placement. Recraft V3 is now available for use on desktop, mobile, and through an API. Read more
Meta AI has released MobileLLM, a powerful language model designed for mobile devices. It comes in different sizes (125M, 350M, 600M, 1B, and 1.5B) and shows significant improvements in chat benchmarks and API calling tasks compared to previous models. Read more
The Hugging Face research team has released SmolLM2, a family of compact language models. These models come in three sizes (135M, 360M, and 1.7B parameters) and are open-source, making them accessible to everyone. The largest model, SmolLM2 1.7B, outperforms other models like Qwen 2.5 1.5B and Llama 3.21B in tasks like text rewriting, summarization, and function calling. Read more
Google Research has introduced InkSight, a new technology that can turn photos of handwriting into digital ink. This approach uses a model that can "read" written words and "write" digital strokes that mimic handwriting. The model and code are now available for everyone to use. Read more
