Advancing Autonomous AI Agents: How Agent Q is Revolutionizing AI Decision-Making
Summary. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been making waves in recent years, especially with the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and LLaMA. These models have shown incredible abilities in understanding and generating human-like text, which has opened new possibilities for their use in various fields, from customer service to complex problem-solving. However, despite […]
Is OpenAI in Trouble?
The clock is ticking. The combination of a rapid cash burn, the lack of a sustainable “moat”, and slow enterprise adoption of LLMs are causing people to question the mid-term viability of OpenAI. OpenAI’s many public controversies and leadership defections have only served to catalyze the concern for its future. Cash is king. OpenAI plans […]
Using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to Detect Cashback Fraud in Online Gaming
What is cashback fraud? Cashback fraud in online betting typically involves users exploiting promotional offers designed to refund a portion of their losses. Fraudsters might create multiple accounts to place opposing bets, ensuring that one account wins while the other loses, thereby manipulating the system to maximize the cashback rewards. This type of fraud undermines […]
OpenAI’s Project Strawberry: The Ghost of Q* (Q Star) Rises
Overview. Reuters is reporting that leaked information from inside OpenAI points to a major effort to incorporate long inference reasoning inside ChatGPT. The effort is code named Project Strawberry and seems to be very similar to the Q* (pronounced Q star) effort which was the rumored basis for Sam Altman’s very short-lived firing back in […]
From GPT-4 to AGI: The Path to Advanced AI by 2027
Summary. This is a summary of the first installment of a series of essays written by Leopold Aschenbrenner — formerly of OpenAI’s Superalignment team, now founder of an investment firm focused on artificial general intelligence (AGI). Aschenbrenner titles this (first) essay, “From GPT-4 to AGI: Counting the OOMs”. AGI in 2027. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) […]
AI Boom Sparks Energy Crisis: How Data Centers Are Shaping Our Energy Future
The Rise of AI and Its Impact on Data Centers and Electrical Consumption More AI = more data centers = more electricity. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been making rapid advancements, driving innovations across various sectors, from healthcare and finance to entertainment and transportation. As AI technologies, particularly generative AI, become more integral to our daily […]
AI to the Antibiotic Rescue: Unearthing a Million Hopefuls in the War on Superbugs
Is this a joke? For over a year, there’s been an ongoing debate in the AI community about the probability that AI will destroy humanity. This debate even has its own metric – p(doom) – the probability that AI will annihilate humanity. Optimists estimate p(doom) around 0.01%, arguing that AI is less likely to destroy […]

Will Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) Revolutionize Machine Learning?
What’s New? There is a growing body of research about a new kind of neural network called Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN). In simple terms, neural networks are computer systems inspired by the brain that can learn from data. They are used for many tasks, like image recognition and speech translation. Traditionally, these networks use fixed functions […]
