🤔 AI's reasoning skills under fire

A new study from Apple’s AI research team has found serious weaknesses in large language models (LLMs) like those from OpenAI and Meta, especially in tasks that require mathematical reasoning.

The Details:

• The study showed that small changes in the way questions were asked led to inconsistent results from AI models, highlighting their difficulty with logical consistency.

• Researchers developed a new benchmark, GSM-Symbolic, to avoid existing data contamination problems and provide more reliable ways to measure the reasoning ability of these models.

• All 20 models tested, including OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Meta’s Llama 3, performed worse when small variables like numerical values or irrelevant details in questions were altered.

• The study found no signs of formal reasoning in these models. Even changing a name in a question could lead to a different and incorrect answer.

Apple’s study highlights the challenges AI models face with logical and mathematical tasks. It suggests that while AI has advanced in many areas, more development is crucial to improve their reasoning capabilities, especially for real-world applications that require consistent and reliable decision-making.

🚀 Nvidia's new AI model Nemotron

Nvidia has released a new AI model, Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Instruct, that outperforms leading models from OpenAI and Anthropic, signaling a shift in Nvidia’s AI strategy and potentially reshaping the competitive landscape.

The Details:

• Designed to handle complex instruction-based tasks. With 70 billion parameters, this model offers sophisticated, human-like responses for a variety of applications, from chatbots to technical systems.

• The model scored 85.0 on Arena Hard, 57.6 on AlpacaEval 2 LC, and 8.98 on GPT-4-Turbo MT-Bench, surpassing industry standards and competing models like GPT-4o

• Nvidia uses Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) to improve the model’s ability to handle complex tasks, making it more responsive to user preferences.

• Designed for a wide range of industries, the model offers a cost-effective, customizable solution, handling complex queries without extra prompting, appealing to sectors like customer service and data analysis.

• Nvidia has made the model available via free hosted inference through build.nvidia.com, making it accessible to businesses for real-world applications..

Nvidia’s release of Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Instruct marks a significant step in its AI evolution, challenging established players with a powerful, open-access model. This move positions Nvidia as a leader not only in AI hardware but also in high-performance software, likely reshaping the future of AI development.
