LLaVA vs ChatGPT: the surprising results

PLUS: Meta marks your AI-generated images

TOGETHER WITH

Good morning, human brains. Welcome back to your daily munch of AI news.

Here’s what’s on the menu today:

  • Samsung’s new processor is an AI beefcake 🥩 💿

    The Exynos 2400 gets 14.7 better AI performance than its predecessor.

  • LLaVA vs ChatGPT: the dirty business 🥊 💥

    LLaVA 1.5 achieves state-of-the-art accuracy with GPT-4

  • Meta unveils Stable Signature 🤖 👀

    It’s a new, more effective AI watermarking method for images.

APPETIZER

Samsung’s new processor = beefy 🥩 💿

In September, Samsung released “Samsung Food” — a food app with recipes, meal plans, and more.

Nice name, bruh.

Last Friday, it revealed the Exynos 2400 — a shiny, new mobile processor with the latest graphics and AI tech.

I care...? I think... Right…?

Well… Samsung claims it has 1.7 times faster data processing speed and 14.7 times better AI performance than its predecessor, Exynos 2200.

It enhances gaming experiences through improved ray tracing capabilities which allow for realistic optical effects like global illumination, reflection, and shadow rendering.

Cool, how do I get it…? You can’t yet, and Samsung didn’t specify when it was coming out. Rude.

BUZZWORD OF THE DAY

QA (Question Answering)

AI Systems designed to respond to user queries with precise, contectually relevant answers.

These system use techniques like Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand and process human language.

Evaluation is done through various methods:

1. Precision and Recall: Metrics that assess the system’s correctness and completeness in providing accurate answers.

2. Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR): Evaluates the ranking of the correct answer amoung the list of answers provided.

3. BLEU Score: Compares the system-generated text to a reference text, assessing the relevance and quality of responses.

MAIN COURSE

LLaVA and ChatGPT duke it out 🥊 💥

I know you are, but what am I?

In September, we reported on ChatGPT’s new multimodal capabilities. This gave the chatbot the ability to essentially see, hear, and speak.

Last week, Stanford, UW-Madison, and Columbia researchers introduced LLaVA 1.5 — a new open-source AI that achieves favorable results against GPT-4 at visual and language processing tasks.

I’m a ChatGPT fanboy, why would I care?

GPT-4 isn’t open-source, and it costs $20 per month. LLaVA is open-source and free to use.

What’s different about it?

LLaVA was fine-tuned for two different scenarios - Visual Chat for daily applications and Science QA for scientific multimodal reasoning tasks.

It integrates a vision encoder with an LLM named Vicuna to boost both visual and language comprehension capabilities.

Here’s us playing with it:

So, I should stop using GPT-4?

No. If anything, you should consider using both. In a science-related task, the researchers combined LLaVA and GPT-4 and achieved a new state-of-the-art accuracy of 92.53%.

It’s always better when we’re together.

A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA

Meta’s new AI watermarking tool 🤖 👀

In August, we covered Google DeepMind’s SynthID — an AI watermarking tool.

On Friday, Meta unveiled Stable Signature — an invisible watermarking method that AI can detect even if the images are edited.

Know thyself, bot.

How does it work?

It’s a two-step process. First, two neural networks are trained to encode and extract messages from watermarked images. Then, the AI model’s decoder is fine-tuned to include a fixed signature in generated images.

Why is this significant?

It reduces false positive rates in distinguishing AI-generated images from human-made ones. It’s designed to withstand image alterations like cropping, compression, color changes, and more.

MEMES FOR DESSERT

Meta’s Stable Signature claims to prevent this from happening, but people will continue to find workarounds.
