Compare DeepSeek-R1 and OpenAI-o1 using RAG 

DeepSeek-R1 delivers OpenAI-o1 level intelligence at 90% less cost. In this studio we build a Streamlit app to compare and evaluate them using RAG. There is a separate notebook for the evaluation task using Comet ML's Opik where you'll find all the code to create and load the evaluation dataset, run an experiment and get the evaluation results in a dashboard.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a key element of Intelligent Operations of an organization. The reason is because it allows them to fully promote automation of processes, the optimization of resources and workflows, as well as the application of business analytics. While projections indicate that AI is likely to add a staggering $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030

This article discusses a workflow that uses large language models for code generation (LLM codegen) that has been effective for building many small products. The workflow involves brainstorming a spec, making a plan, and then executing that plan using LLM codegen. The process is repeated until magic happens.

This course has 10 lessons covering the fundamentals of building AI Agents. Each lesson covers its own topic so start wherever you like!

AI News:

Elon Musk’s xAI unveils Grok 3, claiming it surpasses competitors in key performance areas. Grok 3 is said to be significantly more capable than its predecessor, Grok 2, according to Musk. The model outperformed OpenAI and DeepSeek in internal tests, particularly in math, science, and coding. xAI also introduced “Deep Search,” a new search engine designed for next-generation queries.

OpenAI’s former CTO Mira Murati officially brought Thinking Machines Lab, a new AI research company, out of stealth with the mission to make AI systems more “widely understood, customizable, and generally capable” through open science.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is considering a new open source AI model and is asking for public input.

Sam Altman posted a survey on X asking users if OpenAI should release a small o3-mini model or a more efficient phone-sized model.OpenAI has largely moved away from open source since GPT-4, but Altman is reconsidering this approach. Competition from Meta, Deepseek, and Mistral is pressuring OpenAI to engage more with the open-source community.

HP is acquiring Humane's assets for $116M, ending the AI Pin's short-lived journey. Humane's AI Pin will stop working on February 28, 2025, as the company shuts down services.HP is acquiring Humane’s engineers, product managers, and AI technology to build its own AI innovation lab.

Scarlett Johansson called for AI regulation after a viral deepfake video went viral. It showed her and other Jewish celebrities allegedly protesting antisemitic content.
