LLMs | Artificial Inteligence feed

In controlled experiments, MIT CSAIL researchers discover simulations of reality developing deep within LLMs, indicating an understanding of language beyond simple mimicry.

Pitchbook's analysis shows AI data centers, local large language models (LLMs) and domain-specific foundation models are three of the many growth catalysts VCs need to keep their firms growing and delivering returns. 

The acquisition will allow Protect AI to extend the capabilities of its AI security platform to better protect organizations against potential risks from the development and usage of large language models (LLMs).

LLMs are uniquely positioned to take on the challenge of predicting potential intrusion attempt patterns across endpoints using collected attack data.

LLMs are the new power tool of choice for rouge attackers, cybercrime syndicates, and nation-state attack teams.

In a wide ranging interview about enterprise readiness for generative AI, Eric Boyd asserts that Microsoft plans to stay competitive on the choice front. He said the company's generative AI applications and the LLMs that power them, are safe to use, but that companies that are more focused on where models work really well – for example in text generation – are able to move the fastest.

In the case of the new PPLX online LLMs, Perplexity has developed its own approach to pulling in recent information.

To strike a balance between risk and reward, bring generative AI LLMs close to your data and within your existing security perimeter.

Germany-based Deepset has raised $30 million in funding to help enterprises tap the power of LLMs for internal business applications.

London-based Beyond Work, a startup looking to make work more human with LLMs, today announced $2.5 million in pre-seed funding.

Merlyn Mind's education LLMs can interact with specific collections of educational content as part of its educational generative AI platform.

Refuel AI, a company creating AI training data with LLMs, today came out of stealth with $5 million in seed funding.

A Snowflake deal to acquire Neeva seems imminent after the search startup announced it will shut down its consumer search product and pivot to enterprise LLMs.

Skyflow has announced a privacy vault to help enterprises build large language models (LLMs) while keeping sensitive data protected.

Open source AI has been having a moment, following a wave of LLM releases and an effort to push back on the shift to closed, proprietary LLMs. 

Training data contamination and other factors mean LLMs like GPT-4 succeeding on human exams might not be a good measure of their abilities.

At GTC, Nvidia talked up AI supercomputing service DGX Cloud, NeMo service to combine LLMs with proprietary data, and new inference GPUs.
