Technical benchmarks like the OpenAI GDPVal report prove that today’s frontier AI models are 90X faster and 474X cheaper than an unaided human. Yet, step into most boardrooms and you’ll hear the same question: “Why isn’t AI driving measurable P&L impact?” In my latest post, The AI Productivity Paradox, I unpack why the gains haven’t shown up — and what leaders must do next. asifonai.substack.com/p/the-ai-produ…

A quiet chasm is growing in the enterprise: The GenAI Divide. On one side: "Pilot Purgatory" — costly experiments with no clear path to ROI. On the other: Competitors quietly extracting millions in real value. Is your company trapped in GenAI "pilot purgatory"? My latest post offers a 5-part blueprint to cross the divide, drive real ROI, and build an engine for enduring value. The winners are focusing on 5 key imperatives: ✅ Anchor in Value, not Visibility 🧠 Architect for Active Learning, not Static Outputs 🏭 Design for Adoption, not just Deployment 🔒 Establish a Governed Platform, not one-offs 🤝 Partner to Accelerate, don't reinvent the wheel Read it here: substack.com/home/post/p-17… Prefer audio?

Because knowledge and compression are two sides of the same coin.

Llama-3 based OpenBioLLM-70B & 8B: Outperforms GPT-4, Gemini, Meditron-70B, Med-PaLM-1 & Med-PaLM-2 in Medical-domain. The developers of this model curated a diverse custom dataset, collaborating with medical experts to ensure the highest quality. The dataset spans 3k healthcare topics and 10+ medical subjects. 📚 OpenBioLLM-70B's remarkable performance is evident across 9 diverse biomedical datasets, achieving an impressive average score of 86.06% despite its smaller parameter count compared to GPT-4 & Med-PaLM. 📈

We're also releasing a Responsible Generative AI Toolkit that provides resources to apply best practices for responsible use of open models such as the Gemma models, including: Guidance on setting safety policies, safety tuning, safety classifiers and model evaluation. The Learning Interpretability Tool (LIT) for investigating Gemma's behavior and addressing potential issues. A methodology for building robust safety classifiers with minimal examples. ai.google.dev/responsible?ut…

Introducing Gemma - a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models for their class, built from the same research & technology used to create the Gemini models. Blog post: blog.google/technology/dev… Tech report: goo.gle/GemmaReport This thread explores some of the performance characteristics of these models.

As one example of 1.5 Pro’s sophisticated multimodal understanding and reasoning capabilities with long context, when given a 44-minute silent film, the model can analyze various plot points and events, and even makes sense of small details you might have missed.

# Portrayals of AI People sometimes read a bit too specifically into my bio "Building a kind of JARVIS". I name JARVIS in general terms only, as one of my favorite popular portrayals of an AI - a helpful, conversational, empowering e/ia automation. An aid against evil and entropy. In personality, I much prefer and love TARS from Interstellar. I love that TARS is funny, quirky, and sarcastic. But you can tone down that down to "dry" if you like. That said TARS (with a few major and notable exceptions) is portrayed a bit too much like a comic relief sidekick instead of a pervasive, helpful and active problem solver. The movie that best explores emotional depth and connection with an AI is undoubtedly Samantha from Her. I find this to be a very prescient movie because not too long ago, AIs have been thought of and portrayed as primarily highly calculating and logical entities incapable of understanding human emotion (think: Star Trek et al.). I think it's becoming very clear today that these will turn out very wrong, and that the future looks a lot more like Samantha from Her than Data from Star Trek. The movie that most touches on the creative dimension of AI is maybe Sonny from iRobot, but in general I think this dimension is dramatically underexplored territory. Honorable mentions My most favorite unaligned AI is, of course, GLaDOS :) And sticking with Valve for a moment, shoutout to Dog from Half Life 2. I also recall really enjoying Legion of the geth in the Mass Effect series. So TLDR all of these have aspects that feel right and desirable - a blend of personality of TARS, a creativity of Sonny, the emotional capability of Her, and the technical problem solving capability of JARVIS. Curious what are people's favorite portrayals of AI and why?
