Google DeepMind's AlphaGeometry model solves geometry problems at a Math Olympiad gold medalist level.
AlphaGeometry combines a Large Language Model (LLM) with a symbolic model for reasoning.
The model's architecture allows it to solve 25 out of 30 Math Olympiad problems within standard time limits.

Google DeepMind created a new model, SIMA, that can navigate any 3D environment by following language instructions.
SIMA can translate abstract instructions into mouse and keyboard actions for navigating different 3D worlds.
This AI breakthrough has implications for embodied AI environments, simulations, and other areas requiring physical tasks.

AllenAI released its OLMo LLM model with all components in a truly open fashion.
The term 'open source' in generative AI often refers to weights of models for reproducibility.
Foundation models usually have small source code, making the weights crucial for open source models.

Genie by Google DeepMind can create 2D video games from text, opening doors to interactive environments in simulations, gaming, and robotics.
BitNet b1.58, a 1-bit model by Microsoft and University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, offers cost-efficient and high-performance training for Large Language Models (LLMs).
The pace of research in generative AI is rapid, leading to groundbreaking advancements like Genie and BitNet b1.58.
