✨ DeepMind and OpenAI Magical Week in AI
Was this email forwarded to you? Sign up here 📝 EditorialArtificial intelligence (AI) is growing at an astonishing rate, with new milestones being reached on a regular basis. Despite being accustomed to regular breakthroughs, from time to time we get to see AI research that challenges the boundaries of human comprehension. Just think about such releases as AlphaGo, GPT-3, AlphaFold, and several other models that account for some of the most important milestones in the last decades of AI. This week surprised us with two groundbreaking releases from DeepMind and OpenAI. Earlier in the week, DeepMind announced its work on AlphaCode, a new transformer model that can generate high-quality programming code. AlphaCode follows OpenAI’s work on Codex. However, DeepMind disclosed that AlphaCode has been able to solve complex problems from programming competitions which certainly sets a new bar for AI-powered code generation models. If the release of AlphaCode was not awesome enough, OpenAI published their research on Lean, a model that can solve complex mathematical problems, including those from the high school Olympiads. Mathematical reasoning is one of the ultimate tests for AI. Lean was able to solve problems that only elite high school students (those representing their countries in the math Olympiads) are able to tackle. DeepMind and OpenAI continue pushing the boundaries of AI research and development. AlphaCode and Lean represent impressive breakthroughs in two of the most challenging areas of AI. Certainly an impressive week. 🔺🔻 TheSequence Scope is our Sunday free digest.
