Google's Upcoming A3 Supercomputer Featuring Nvidia H100 GPUs Set for General Availability Next Month

Elon Musk envisions Tesla as more than just an automaker; he aims for it to be a pioneering AI company capable of fully autonomous driving. Central to this vision is Dojo, Tesla’s advanced supercomputer engineered specifically to train its Full Self-Driving (FSD) neural networks. While FSD can handle various driving tasks, it still requires a vigilant driver. Tesla believes that with increased data, enhanced computing power, and rigorous training, it can transition from semi-autonomous to fully autonomous driving.

Large language models (LLMs), such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, face a common challenge: they often generate false information. These inaccuracies can range from harmless fabrications—like the bizarre assertion that the Golden Gate Bridge was transported across Egypt in 2016—to serious implications.

Researchers from Stanford University have developed an innovative technique aimed at simplifying the training of large language models (LLMs). This new approach, known as Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), presents a more straightforward alternative to traditional reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), allowing models to align more effectively with human preferences. The research, co-authored by experts from the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network, has garnered significant attention, with Andrew Ng, the founder of Google Brain and a Stanford professor, expressing his admiration for the work. "It is only rarely that, after reading a research paper, I feel like giving the authors a standing ovation. But I felt that way after finishing Direct Preference Optimization," Ng tweeted.
