I love Google updates and I love robotics progress, so this one is a double whammy. Google has announced RT-2⁵⁰⁷, an AI model that translates both vision and language in robot motion. Using transformers as the underlying tech, it uses web data knowledge to develop reasoning and action abilities, doubling RT-1’s ability to adapt to novel scenarios. Check out the NYT’s sneak peek into RT-2⁶⁵².

TechCrunch has released the agenda for their AI stage⁵⁴⁷ at the 2023 Disrupt conference, and there are some heavy hitters! There will be talks from the likes of Hassabis at DeepMind on upcoming research and products; Anthropic’s Co-founder on responsible AI; AI’s resident doomer Gary Marcus; and many more.

Got a good bit of open-source work coming out this weekend. The team at together.ai¹⁹⁴ have brought the context window of LLaMA-2-7B to 32k tokens³⁵⁷. They use a mixture of interpolation and pre-training to grow it, and have fully shared the data recipe and approach. Furthermore, they say they’ve improved the tech for inference and fine-tuning within the new 32k context framework.
