Here’s why most AI benchmarks tell us so littleOn Tuesday, startup Anthropic released a family of generative AI models that it claims achieve best-in-class performance.
The reason — or rather, the problem — lies with the benchmarks AI companies use to quantify a model’s strengths — and weaknesses.
“Many benchmarks used for evaluation are three-plus years old, from when AI systems were mostly just used for research and didn’t have many real users.
In addition, people use generative AI in many ways — they’re very creative.”It’s not that the most-used benchmarks are totally useless.
However, as generative AI models are increasingly positioned as mass market, “do-it-all” systems, old benchmarks are becoming less applicable.
Sports fans most often take in their favorite game by watching it on TV or from the venue itself, but those with blind and low vision generally must rely on the announcer or a radio broadcast.
OneCourt aims to augment their experience with a lap-top miniature field that lets someone feel the position of the players and ball in near real time.
There’s nothing wrong with the radio broadcast, but it’s often delayed by 10 to 30 seconds, and neither it nor live announcers provide the spatial detail that sighted fans are treated to.
Fortunately, many major league sports broadcast the exact, real-time locations of the players and ball along with video and audio.
The OneCourt team takes this information and transmits it to a haptic display with a touchable cover imitating the pitch or field lines.
The investors surveyed clearly aren’t the only ones who are excited about a potential Stripe exit in 2024, either.
According to secondary data tracker Caplight, there has been an absolute flurry of buyers looking to get shares in the company in recent months.
On Tuesday, literally the day after New Year’s Day, a secondary sale closed that valued Stripe shares at $21.06 apiece; that values the startup at $53.65 billion, according to Caplight data.
There are a few reasons why this deal is worth paying attention to.
For one, Stripe’s $53 billion value marks an increase from the company’s most recent primary round last March, when Stripe was valued at $50 billion.
Once again, Etsy’s layoffs come as no surprise Junkification and fierce competition paint a tough path aheadRemember when we wrote that Spotify’s latest layoffs make sense?
Well, we feel the same about Etsy’s announcement that it would lay off 11% of its workforce.
This is not us being callous with employees affected by these layoffs, or making excuses for what led the NASDAQ-listed marketplace to that point and what could perhaps have been prevented.
We are just saying that this isn’t much of a surprise.
But more than quantitative, Etsy’s challenge is qualitative.
