I tested it - the word highlight and audio spoken did not always align, leading to a discordant experience.

Many people claim that the Artificial Analysis Index is highly contaminated - I have not personally looked into it.
Though, unlike the creators of benchmarks like Terminal Bench or ARC AGI, the Artificial Analysis Index team does not seem to have deep technical or ML backgrounds. They are ex-strategy consultants, McKinsey, et. al.

Why do you think OpenAI is the prettiest?
Claude often makes better looking interfaces and designs. And I think OpenAI has solved more open math/ stats/ CS problems.

Why do you think passion tax is not applicable in AI research? As that too is a very passion heavy industry at least recently.

I have found l-tyrosine also being quite helpful when taken occasionally.

They are probably looking for LGMs - Large Generative Models which encapsulate vision & multi-modal models.

Yes, this may be relevant:
In 1934, David Hilbert, by then a grand old man of German mathematics, was dining with Bernhard Rust, the Nazi minister of education. Rust asked, “How is mathematics at Göttingen, now that it is free from the Jewish influence?” Hilbert replied, “There is no mathematics in Göttingen anymore.”

Haha, I think it was covered at HN. But did not get as much attention as it should have.

Thanks! Most of the current work is not yet out as press or blogs - we generally do that post code release/ publications/ arXiv submissions. Will share them as they are made public.
Meanwhile, this is the blog of our earliest work from January that will be published in ICML24: https://blog.allenai.org/data-driven-discovery-with-large-ge...
Also if you are interested - happy to correspond more by email. Lot more to share privately.

The impact extends beyond mathematics. We have seen some pretty positive outcomes for LLMs as an assistant for scientists - with a lot of custom agent dev though - and not off-the-shelf models.
This is already being used by a few hundred scientists in a lab. We are aiming to extend to thousands next year with a focus on CS, climate & bio.

Phind-CodeLlama-34B-v2 seems to work well for our team.

Fireworks so elegantly captured the vector level control along with bitmap effects like Photoshop!

I have found OpenAI to be the most superior in complex prompts especially where written messages like “Get better, Mom” are expected in the images. The distant second would be ideogram.
I am using these tools to send custom personal messages to close friends and family.

I have only interacted briefly with Sam but I found him to be one of the smartest YC folks. But I will let a Paul Graham essay speak [1]:
Honestly, Sam is, along with Steve Jobs, the founder I refer to most when I'm advising startups. On questions of design, I ask "What would Steve do?" but on questions of strategy or ambition I ask "What would Sama do?"
What I learned from meeting Sama is that the doctrine of the elect applies to startups. It applies way less than most people think: startup investing does not consist of trying to pick winners the way you might in a horse race. But there are a few people with such force of will that they're going to get whatever they want.
