Advanced AI For Regular People…
by Jeff Brown, editor, The Bleeding Edge
I’m almost certain that five years from now, we’ll look back at 2022 as the year we hit a critical inflection point in artificial intelligence (AI).
We’ve previously had a look at major developments around advanced AI language models like OpenAI’s GPT-3, Meta’s OPT, and Google’s LaMDA. These are all AIs that most consumers wouldn’t be able to distinguish from a human in chat-based conversation.
But the high-end versions of these models are reserved for researchers, academic institutions, and, of course, the companies themselves.
Meta did make the lower-end version of its AI-based language model open source so anyone can use it. But thus far, the general public has not had access to the best AI-based models out there.
Until now.
An international group of open-source researchers known as BigScience just released an advanced AI model available to all, after about a year of hard work. This is a model that was trained on 176 billion parameters… making it on par with what OpenAI, Meta, and Google have developed. They call it Bloom.
What’s more, BigScience designed Bloom such that it supports 46 different languages and 13 programming languages. That means the AI can speak all the world’s top languages. And it can even write software code in the world’s top programming languages.
And like the big-tech models, Bloom can also write stories, develop instruction manuals, summarize long articles, and write customized computer programs.
My team and I had some fun testing Bloom out. To start with, we asked Bloom to generate text based on a question: How should we think about artificial intelligence today?
Here was the answer:
We also asked Bloom to help us translate English to Japanese. Here it is in action:
And here’s the most impressive part – BigScience developed this model at a fraction of the cost. All it took was $7 million in grant money. With this funding, BigScience trained the AI for three months using 384 of NVIDIA’s best GPUs.
For comparison, other models likely cost tens of millions of dollars to develop.
What we’re witnessing is the complete democratization of AI. Anyone can put Bloom to work – either using their own computers or by renting computing power in the cloud.
And here’s the most incredible part – this comes just months after the big developments from OpenAI, Meta, and Google that we discussed.
We’ve never seen such rapid development cycles before. The open source community is able to essentially duplicate the technology of the world’s most powerful and well-resourced companies, in a matter of months, for a fraction of the cost.
And with the technology now out in the wild, we are inevitably going to see some amazing breakthroughs even in just the next 12 months. We’re in for some radical change… and some pretty incredible investment opportunities.
New Opportunities Are Emerging For Citizens of The World.
Freedom and democracy may appear to be struggling to stay alive in America, but there may be a knock-out punch ready to be released. The evolution of the blockchain-enabled metaverse is going to enable the 'Citizens of the World' to gain their own Freedom by democratizing power and creating a new world with new rules, new players, and new opportunities. For 99.99% of us, the metaverse will improve our real-world lives through the democratization of power and opportunity.
Along with the major long-term trend of society towards decentralization and smaller-scale organizations, there are new opportunities developing to help 'Preparers' in the cryptocurrency sector. Businesses are beginning to issue their own Crypto Coins that can be traded on Cryptocoin Exchanges.
Markethive.com for example will be releasing its HiveCoin (HIV) in the coming weeks. It has tremendous upside potential that is outlined in a Video by Founder Tom Prendergast, "Entrepreneur Advantage…".
Not only that, if you go to their website and register as a FREE Member, you will be given 500 HiveCoins for "FREE" along with access to several Earning Opportunities and online tools to increase your HiveCoin balance.
Be sure to check it out today – Markethive.com
