“In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity” – Sun Tzu, The Art of War – 5th Century BCE Today marks a significant milestone in the AI as DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, announced the release of its revolutionary R1 Open-Source large language model (LLM) rivalling OpenAI’s ChatGPT. This DeepSeek RI model has been designed to excel in complex reasoning tasks, rivaling the performance of OpenAI’s latest models while reportedly being developed at a fraction of the training & implementation cost. It is being widely reported that this R1 LLM was trained with Reinforcement Learning (RL) for a

Beware of Human-injected left-leaning bias emanating from AI Large Language Models (LLM) Outputs – RLHF technique could be the misused
In the realm of Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) stands out as an innovative technique where human trainers play a crucial role in guiding the learning process of models. Unlike traditional reinforcement learning, which relies solely on pre-defined rewards, RLHF incorporates human judgment to shape the training environment. This method can have significant implications, especially when it comes to ensuring that models consistently favor certain outcomes over others. In this blog, we’ll delve into how trainers can influence models using RLHF, highlighting both the potential benefits and pitfalls. Human trainers can introduce biases, whether consciously or
Personal Privacy – A Mirage in today’s Tech World? Renewed call to the incoming administration to protect us!
Are we giving up our privacy for convenience without thinking about the consequences? It seems that we all desire data privacy, but our actions often seem to indicate otherwise! We have always been calling for users to be careful of what they post online. My kids are familiar with my saying to them all the time “think before posting / texting / tweeting anything online… because once you do, it will stay there forever!”. It is our view that people do not fully appreciate how pervasive our online digital footprint is and the amount of information (related every aspect
Speed up your iPhone Battery Charging by disabling new Clean Energy Charging Capability
iOS 16.1 introduced a feature we weren’t necessarily expecting with the latest iPhone software update — a Clean Energy Charging capability that aims to reduce the carbon footprint that your phone can rack up during charging. With Clean Energy Charging enabled, an iPhone will charge if / when lower-carbon emission electricity is available, by getting a forecast of carbon emissions for your local energy grid and timing charging sessions when cleaner energy production is happening. At the moment, Clean Energy Charging is only available to iPhone owners in the U.S. running iOS 16.1 on their handsets. However, for most
