IT'S HAPPENING ❗❗❗❗❗❗
OpenAl is rolling out voice capabilities soon. According to a post from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, ChatGPT Plus subscribers will get access to its new voice feature next week. The company initially demoed this feature back in May, you know, the one that sounded like Scarlett Johansson's character from the movie Her? They yoinked that voice option though, sorry guys. This will interesting to test out, especially ahead of ChatGPT getting baked into Siri.

To address the lack of training data for some less common programming languages, they used AI to translate code from a more common one.
Synthetic data generation: programming language translation. We observe a performance gap between major programming languages (e.g., Python/C++) and less common ones (e.g., Typescript/PHP). This is not surprising as we have less training data for less common programming languages. To mitigate this, we supplement our existing data by translating data from common programming languages to less common languages (similar to Chen et al. (2023) in the context of reasoning). This is achieved by prompting Llama 3 and ensuring quality via syntax parsing, compilation, and execution. Figure 8 demonstrates an example of synthetic PHP code translated from Python. This improves performance significantly for less common languages as measured by the MultiPL-E (Cassano et al., 2023) benchmark.

The #llama 3.1 paper is an interesting read. The majority of the #llm training data was synthetically generated by an LLM.

Given that most of our training data is model-generated, it requires careful cleaning and quality control. Data cleaning. In the early rounds, we observed a number of undesirable patterns common in our data, such as excessive use of emojis or exclamation points. Therefore, we implement a series of rule-based data removal and modification strategies to filter or clean problematic data. For example, to mitigate overly-apologetic tonal issues, we identify overused phrases (such as “I’m sorry” or “I apologize”) and carefully balance the proportion of such samples in our dataset.

It's not much but it's honest work 📊

Recent improvements have greatly increased Forcefield's accuracy and attack response times.
A dark-themed graph illustrates the performance of Forcefield during a DDoS attack on a live website. The y-axis represents "Requests per Second," while the x-axis shows "Seconds Elapsed." Three lines are depicted: red for "Blocked," yellow for "Stopped for Screening," and blue for "Served from Edge Cache." The graph demonstrates that Forcefield blocked 99.47% of malicious traffic, with the remaining 0.53% served from the edge network cache, and 0% reaching the origin.

Forcefield activation in progress...
Two screenshots in front of a cosmic background compromised of a distinctly stepped gradient from a dark blue purple to lavender, to pink, to white. The first screenshot shows an analytics dashboard with a glowing neon line chart of requests divided by requests that are cached, allowed, challenged and blocked. The second screenshot shows a settings page for "Lockdown Mode" and "Bot Block".
