The post is co-written with Michael Shaul and Sasha Korman from NetApp. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications are commonly built using a technique called Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) that provides foundation models (FMs) access to additional data they didn’t have during training. This data is used to enrich the generative AI prompt to deliver more […]

AWS DeepComposer was first introduced during AWS re:Invent 2019 as a fun way for developers to compose music by using generative AI. AWS DeepComposer was the world’s first machine learning (ML)-enabled keyboard for developers to get hands-on—literally—with a musical keyboard and the latest ML techniques to compose their own music. After careful consideration, we have

Amazon Lookout for Equipment, the AWS machine learning (ML) service designed for industrial equipment predictive maintenance, will no longer be open to new customers effective October 17, 2024. Existing customers will be able to use the service (both using the AWS Management Console and API) as normal and AWS will continue to invest in security,

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) technology holds the promise to revolutionize gene editing technologies, which is transformative to the way we understand and treat diseases. This technique is based in a natural mechanism found in bacteria that allows a protein coupled to a single guide RNA (gRNA) strand to locate and make

Ever been asked a question you only knew part of the answer to? To give a more informed response, your best move would be to phone a friend with more knowledge on the subject. This collaborative process can also help large language models (LLMs) improve their accuracy. Still, it’s been difficult to teach LLMs to

This post is co-written with Pradeep Prabhakaran from Cohere. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a powerful technique that can help enterprises develop generative artificial intelligence (AI) apps that integrate real-time data and enable rich, interactive conversations using proprietary data. RAG allows these AI applications to tap into external, reliable sources of domain-specific knowledge, enriching the

Mumsnet CEO Justine Roberts spoke to WIRED about why licensing talks with OpenAI broke down and why her company is planning legal action.

Plus: Meta’s AI scrapes the UK, Google digitizes your passport, Chrome syncs your tabs everywhere, and (have you heard?) Apple announces some new iPhones.

The company nearly doubled its emissions in 2023, making it the worst actor in a notoriously unsustainable industry.
