- PowerInfer software allows $2k machines to perform at 82% of the performance of $20k machines, making it more economically sensible to sample from LLMs using consumer-grade GPUs.
- Surveys show that a significant number of AI researchers worry about extreme scenarios such as human extinction from advanced AI, indicating a greater level of concern and confusion in the AI development community than popular discourse suggests.
- Robots are becoming cheaper for research, like Mobile ALOHA that costs $32k, and with effective imitation learning, they can autonomously complete tasks, potentially leading to more robust robots in 2024.
