Hello HN, I'm excited to introduce Emu2, the latest generative multimodal model developed by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI). Emu2 is an open-source initiative that reflects BAAI's commitment to fostering open, secure, and responsible AI research. It's designed to enhance AI's proficiency in handling tasks across various modalities with minimal examples and straightforward instructions. Emu2 has demonstrated superior performance over other large-scale models like Flamingo-80B in few-shot multimodal understanding tasks. It serves as a versatile base model for developers,…

How small can a language model be while still doing something useful? I wanted to find out, and had some spare time over the holidays. Z80-μLM is a character-level language model with 2-bit quantized weights ({-2,-1,0,+1}) that runs on a Z80 with 64KB RAM. The entire thing: inference, weights, chat UI, it all fits in a 40KB .COM file that you can run in a CP/M emulator and hopefully even real hardware! It won't write your emails, but it can be trained to play a stripped down version of 20 Questions, and is sometimes able to maintain the illusion of having simple but terse conversations…

I work on real-time voice/video AI at Tavus and for the past few years, I’ve mostly focused on how machines respond in a conversation. One thing that’s always bothered me is that almost all conversational systems still reduce everything to transcripts, and throw away a ton of signals that need to be used downstream. Some existing emotion understanding models try to analyze and classify into small sets of arbitrary boxes, but they either aren’t fast / rich enough to do this with conviction in real-time. So I built a multimodal perception system which gives us a way to encode visual…
