PERFORMANCE

🧪 OpenAI’s game-changing benchmark test

Our Report: OpenAI has introduced a new open-source benchmark test—MLE-bench—designed to test and evaluate the performance of AI models against 75 Machine Learning (ML) competitions from Kaggle (Google’s ML competition and community platform for ML engineers and data scientists) to test the model's ML capabilities

🔑 Key Points:

• MLE-bench evaluates the AI models’ key ML skills such as data preprocessing, running experiments, and submitting results for evaluation, and assesses its ability to plan, troubleshoot, and innovate.

• The AI model submissions are graded against human performance metrics—taken from publicly available Kaggle leaderboards—and awarded medals, to provide accurate, real-world comparative benchmarks.

• OpenAI’s latest model—GOT-o1—achieved a bronze medal in 16.9% of the competitions (it struggled to adapt and solve issues), but improved with multiple attempts and when given more time.

🤔 Why you should care: Existing coding benchmarks tend to evaluate coding skills in isolation, so MLE-bench marks a step forward in evaluating the true ML capabilities of AI models, as it holistically tests end-to-end performance and the models’ ability to overcome complex challenges—inspired by real-world scenarios—like data preparation, model training, and debugging.

PREDICTIONS

🔮 AI to double our lifespan?!

Our Report: Dario Amodei—co-founder of Anthropic and OpenAI’s former VP of research—has penned a 15,000-word article, passionately revealing his strong belief that “AI could transform the world for the better,” and deliver “unrealized prosperity, social uplift, and abundance.”

🔑 Key Points:

• Amodei believes that “powerful AI” will arrive by 2026, and will “control all software and hardware, including industrial operations” better than humans can, and solve all of humanity’s problems.

• He thinks AI will be “smarter than a Nobel-Prize scientist” in biology, engineering, physical health, neuroscience, mental health, and economic development, will excel in math, and write “extremely good novels.”

• He feels that, in the next 7-12yrs, AI will be able to treat all infectious diseases, eliminate most cancers, cure genetic disorders, and stop Alzheimer’s, which will double the average human lifespan to 150.

🤔 Why you should care: Despite his unwavering belief in the transformative power of AI, he did acknowledge that the rapid development of AI will bring risks to “civil society” that need to be mitigated, and—although he didn’t give any real detail on exactly how—called for authorities to safeguard AI’s supply chain and those who intend to use AI for harm.

FUNDING

💰 OpenAI chairman's startup now worth $4B

• OpenAI Chairman—Bret Taylor—and former Google Labs executive—Clay Bavor—are in talks to secure new funding for their start-up Sierra, which helps companies build AI agents that can interact with customers.

• Led by Greenoaks Capital, this latest funding round values the start-up at $4B—triple the valuation from Sierra’s last funding round in January—and tops over $110M received from previous funding.

• This comes after OpenAI recently secured $6.6B in funding (the largest in history), on a $157B valuation, and highlights investors' willingness to back Silicon Valley AI start-ups, even if revenue figures are low.

PETS

🐕 Moflin: An AI pet with emotions?

• Vanguard Industries has launched Moflin, a fluffy ‘robot pet’ with an AI brain that can detect changes in its ‘human caregivers’ moods, form attachments, and alter its behavior based on situations.

• First debuted in 2021, Vanguard partnered with tech company, Casio, to bring Moflin to market, with users using an app to assess their pet's emotional state, which then responds to their own mood.

• Each Moflin—available to preorder now, and to buy in November (just for Japan customers)—has its own personality, but all of them enjoy “snuggling” and can recharge themselves in their beds.
