Metropolis Aims To Make It Cheap And Easy To Build Small Blockchains For AI Agents to Flourish

Are blockchains and AI agents a match made in heaven? A new protocol called Metropolis hopes to perfect that hybrid by using AI agents to cheaply and easily create small, purpose-built, interconnected blockchains called “chainlets” that, in turn, provide ideal environments for AI agents to interact and create a profusion of new services. The project, which launches in the spring, was put together by layer-one blockchain developer Saga in collaboration with AI-powered DAO ai16z, AI agent develope...

Beyond Transformers: New AI Architectures Could Revolutionize Large Language Models

In the past weeks, researchers from Google and Sakana unveiled two cutting-edge neural network designs that could upend the AI industry. These technologies aim to challenge the dominance of transformers—a type of neural network that connects inputs and outputs based on context—the technology that has defined AI for the past six years. The new approaches are Google’s “Titans,” and “Transformers Squared,” which was designed by Sakana, a Tokyo AI startup known for using nature as its model for tech...

This Free 'Reasoning' AI Model Beats OpenAI's o1—Without a $20 Monthly Fee

The team at Novasky, a ”collaborative initiative led by students and advisors at UC Berkeley’s Sky Computing Lab,” has done what seemed impossible just months ago: They've created a high-performance AI reasoning model for under $450 in training costs. Unlike traditional LLMs that simply predict the next word in a sentence, so-called “reasoning models” are designed to understand a problem, analyze different approaches to solve it, and execute the best solution. That makes these models harder to t...

lllustrious: The AI Model That Wants to Rule Anime Art Generation

Illustrious, a text-to-image model based on Stable Diffusion XL, has become so dominant in the AI art community that Civitai, the largest hub for AI art models, had to create a separate category just to handle its massive ecosystem of resources. And it all happened in three months. The secret behind its success? A return to the basics with a twist. While newer models like SD 3.5 and Flux rely on lengthy natural language descriptions, Onoma AI, the developers of Illustrious, took a different appr...

The Rise of Humanoid Robots in 2024

Not so long ago, I found myself sitting across from Desdemona, lead singer of the jazz-rock jam band Desdemona’s Dream. Desi, as she likes to be called, and her older sister Sophia took the music world by storm, not because of their vocal stylings but because they are both life-sized humanoid robots. The robot wasn’t wearing it’s usual Kool Ade-colored wig but otherwise appeared “normal” for a robot. Designed to interact with humans, Desi’s face included all of the features you would expect of a...
