Saudi Arabia introduced its first-ever robot that can communicate in the Arabic dialect, perform popular local dances, and respond to questions at a conference in Riyadh on Tuesday. The event was held at LEAP23, the techno-conference, and the robot was documented by the state news agency SPA.

The interactive machine boasts a built-in camera that uses artificial intelligence to recognize when people are standing in front of it. It can then begin a conversation when a visitor addresses it with the sentence “Hello Sara.”

The architecture of the new building is meant to convey the “timeless human need for connection to human and plant-life alike.”

Beijing-based MAD architects announced on Instagram on Tuesday that they won the contract to build the first large-scale air transportation junction for the new terminal of Changchun airport. The firm will now aim to create a green and sustainable structure that can accommodate all passenger needs.

The new site consists of 177.6 hectares with a building area of nearly 270,000 square meters and is located in Changchun, a city well-known as the international, regional hub in Northeast Asia with a population of 23 million.

These tiny black holes lose mass faster than their massive counterparts, emitting Hawking radiation until they finally evaporate.

One of the most intriguing predictions of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

When a sufficiently massive star runs out of fuel, it explodes, and the remaining core collapses, leading to the formation of a stellar black hole (ranging from 3 to 100 solar masses).

Separating the Tesla CEO and first place within the wealth standings is simply $3 billion, claims a media report.

Despite losing 200 billion in 2022, Elon Musk is on a recovery, inching closer than ever to reclaim the throne of the world’s richest person.

Elon Musk may soon “reclaim the title of world’s richest person,” claimed a media report on Saturday. “Separating the Tesla CEO and first place within the wealth standings is simply $3 billion.

The ship design has ‘solar wings.’

Designer Jozeph Forakis has introduced the world’s first 3D-printed super yacht concept, and it’s called Pegasus. The concept is 88 meters long and comes complete with reflective ‘Solar Wings,’ allowing it to have zero emissions and an infinite range.

The idea for the futuristic yacht was conceived on a beach in Koufonissi island, Greece. Forakis claimed to be “inspired to create a yacht as close to the sea and nature as possible, made of clouds floating above the waterline, becoming virtually invisible,” according to the designer’s page.

Running ChatGPT costs millions of dollars a day, which is why OpenAI, the company behind the viral natural-language processing artificial intelligence has started ChatGPT Plus, a $20/month subscription plan. But our brains are a million times more efficient than the GPUs, CPUs, and memory that make up ChatGPT’s cloud hardware. And neuromorphic computing researchers are working hard to make the miracles that big server farms in the clouds can do today much simpler and cheaper, bringing them down to the small devices in our hands, our homes, our hospitals, and our workplaces.

One of the keys: modeling computing hardware after the computing wetware in human brains.

“Inference costs far exceed training costs when deploying a model at any reasonable scale,” say Dylan Patel and Afzal Ahmad in SemiAnalysis. “In fact, the costs to inference ChatGPT exceed the training costs on a weekly basis. If ChatGPT-like LLMs are deployed into search, that represents a direct transfer of $30 billion of Google’s profit into the hands of the picks and shovels of the computing industry.”

Google employees criticized the company and CEO Sundar Pichai over the ‘botched’ launch of its ChatGPT competitor.

Googlers are talking all about the company’s announcement of its ChatGPT rival, Bard — and many aren’t happy with how things went. According to a report from CNBC, Google employees are calling the launch of the AI chatbot “rushed” and “botched” in posts across the company’s internal message boards, with many targeting CEO Sundar Pichai.

Google announced Bard earlier this week in a bid to get ahead of Microsoft, which took the wraps off of its ChatGPT-powered Bing a day later.

Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) is an autoregressive language model that was released just a few years back. This model uses deep learning to produce human-like text, hence has immense potential. However, considering how open the market is, there are numerous alternatives available out there. Here is a list of top 10 open-source GTP-3 alternatives you should try in 2023.

Bloom

Developed by a group of over 1,000 AI researchers, Bloom is an open-source multilingual language model that is considered as the best alternative to GPT-3. It is trained on 176 billion parameters, which is a billion more than GPT-3 and required 384 graphics cards for training, each having a memory of more than 80 gigabytes.
