Check out my interview on the Infinite ML podcast. A wide range of AI topics are covered, especially as they relate to call centers. Topics such how voice AI solutions are built, the future of call center AI, how to prioritize call center AI solutions, etc. Thanks Prateek Joshi for inviting me to chat!  #AI #GenAI #callcenters #voiceai #callcenterservices

Infinite ML pod: Itamar Arel on building voice AI models from scratch

Jan 2024 was a busy month in the world of AI models. Here are the 6 key developments that caught my attention:

1. Google DeepMind developed an AI system capable of solving complex geometry problems.

2. Unified-IO 2 is a multimodal model with 7 billion parameters that can handle text, images, audio, video, and action sequences. It's setting new benchmarks in various modalities.

3. SOLAR 10.7B is a large language model with 10.7 billion parameters. It uses depth up-scaling (DUS) for scaling and outperforms other models in benchmarks.

4. Mobile ALOHA uses imitation learning from human demonstrations to teach robots bimanual mobile manipulation tasks. It includes a low-cost teleoperation system and shows that co-training helps in learning complex tasks efficiently.

5. FlowVid introduces a method for video-to-video synthesis that uses optical flow to improve efficiency and quality despite flow imperfections.

6. DeWave is a framework for translating EEG waves into text. It uses discrete codex encoding and achieves top performance in EEG translation.

If you're building or investing in this direction, I'd love to hear from you.

It's a spicy episode on the Infinite ML pod today 🔥 
We have Apoorv A. from Altimeter on the show. We talk about the rise of MANG VC (Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Google) and the "round trip" phenomenon when they invest in AI startups. What's the "round trip" phenomenon? Here's how he explains it:

🎉 Congratulations to the team Spellbook on this important milestone!

In Q4, lawyers accepted 60,000 suggestions from Spellbook's AI contract review tool.

It is hard, even for us, to comprehend the speed at which lawyers are bringing AI into their review workflow.

Today, we’re able to understand—better than ever before—how trees and community infrastructure intersect. 

Smarter vegetation intelligence helps us prevent wildfires and power outages before they happen. Beyond that, we can use it to monitor, maintain, and protect green spaces in our communities.

Join our own Andrew Cottam and the HUGSI.green team to learn more about the methodology we use to analyze green urban spaces.

To start the new year on the Infinite ML pod, I invited the youngest elected partner in the history of Bessemer Venture Partners -- Talia Goldberg. We talk about building and investing in Consumer AI startups. We cover a range of topics including:

- Why is consumer the biggest beneficiary of AI

- AI is generating massive consumer surplus

- Why is RLHF only a secondary moat

- Distribution tactics for consumer AI: virality via social proof, the "Etsy effect", building for niche communities, standing on the shoulder of giants, "first order irrational, second order rational"

- Conversion tactics for consumer AI: entertainment as conversion, community-driven conversion, gambling psychology

- What does 2024 look like for AI startups and VCs
