“We’re in an LLM bubble,” Hugging Face CEO says—but not an AI one

Bandcamp has announced a ban on music that is generated wholly or in substantial part by artificial intelligence, emphasizing its commitment to ensuring that fans can trust the authenticity of the music available on its platform. This decision reflects a growing concern over the impact of AI on the creative industries.

Google has introduced a new feature for its AI model, Gemini, allowing it to scan users' photos, emails, and other data to provide more accurate responses. This feature is currently available only to paid users and is disabled by default.

A recent study has introduced a novel framework for evaluating generation novelty in large language models (LLMs) by framing it as a semantic retrieval problem. This approach allows for efficient analysis of pre-training data, addressing the limitations of existing evaluations that often rely on lexical overlap. The framework was applied to the SmolLM model family, revealing that models utilize longer sequences from pre-training data than previously reported.

The ongoing RAM shortage has led to a decrease in discussions surrounding AI PCs, reflecting a shift in consumer interest and market dynamics. This change comes as companies like Micron Technology's Crucial brand announce they will stop selling RAM to consumers, citing increased demand from AI data centers as a key factor.
