Across CB Insights’ buyer interviews, AI agent customers repeatedly point to 3 major pain points: reliability, integration headaches, and lack of differentiation. This research comes from the March 18 edition of the CB Insights newsletter. You can see past newsletters and sign up for future ones here. As AI agents dominate the conversation, customers are growing skeptical about whether they can live up to the hype. In March, we’ve interviewed 40+ customers of AI agent products and are hearing of 3 primary pain points right now: Reliability Integration headaches Lack of differentiation 1. Reliability This is the #1 concern raised by organizations adopting…

This is a monthly column that runs down five interesting startup funding deals every month that may have flown under the radar. Check out our February entry here. Spring has sprung and so have a list of interesting startups that raised cash. In March, that includes a startup focused on robotic massages, one helping people with pets find rentals, and some health- and climate-related firms. Let’s take a look at those funded companies that caught our eye. Robotic relaxation We normally don’t include big rounds in this space — the column is dedicated to rounds you may have missed. However,…

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More AI agents have safety and reliability problems. Although agents would allow enterprises to automate more steps in their workflows, they can take unintended actions while executing a task, are not very flexible and are difficult to control. Organizations have already raised the alarm about unreliable agents, worried that once deployed, agents might forget to follow instructions.  OpenAI even admitted that ensuring agent reliability would involve working with outside developers, so it opened up its Agents SDK to help solve this issue. …

This week, OpenAI launched a new image generator in ChatGPT, which quickly went viral for its ability to create Studio Ghibli-style images. Beyond the pastel illustrations, GPT-4o’s native image generator significantly upgrades ChatGPT’s capabilities, improving picture editing, text rendering, and spatial representation. However, one of the most notable changes OpenAI made this week involves its content moderation policies, which now allow ChatGPT to, upon request, generate images depicting public figures, hateful symbols, and racial features. OpenAI previously rejected these types of prompts for being too controversial or harmful. But now, the company has “evolved” its approach, according to a blog…

#tokenization #llm #meta This paper does away with tokenization and creates an LLM architecture that operates on dynamically sized “patches” instead of tokens. By controlling the patch size, they gain a level of control over the tradeoff between model size and FLOPs and use that to achieve more favorable scaling behavior than classically tokenized LLMs. Paper: Code: Abstract: We introduce the Byte Latent Transformer (BLT), a new byte-level LLM architecture that, for the first time, matches tokenization-based LLM performance at scale with significant improvements in inference efficiency and robustness. BLT encodes bytes into dynamically sized patches, which serve as the…

This post is related to the ComfyUI Notebook that I have created for RunPod and is available for purchase on our Shop for a small fee. This fee helps support the blog and channel to keep creating the wonderful content for you. The notebook is made by us to get to started with using ComfyUI in under 5 mins on RunPod. This idea came to me when I got tired of many ComfyUI images built by the community taking too long to start up (some take up to 30mins) which wastes the GPU time which you are paying for on…

As the demand for faster, more reliable wireless communication continues to grow, but traditional systems face limitations in efficiency and adaptability. To keep up with evolving needs, researchers are investigating new ways to manipulate electromagnetic waves to improve wireless performance.  To address these challenges, researchers are exploring new approaches, including metasurfaces—engineered materials that can control wave propagation in unprecedented ways. By dynamically shaping and directing electromagnetic waves, metasurfaces offer a promising path to overcoming the constraints of conventional wireless systems.  Building on these capabilities, we are developing metasurfaces for a wide range of wireless applications, such as enhancing Low Earth…

Sample language model responses to different varieties of English and native speaker reactions. ChatGPT does amazingly well at communicating with people in English. But whose English? Only 15% of ChatGPT users are from the US, where Standard American English is the default. But the model is also commonly used in countries and communities where people speak other varieties of English. Over 1 billion people around the world speak varieties such as Indian English, Nigerian English, Irish English, and African-American English. Speakers of these non-“standard” varieties often face discrimination in the real world. They’ve been told that the way they speak…
