~Wes's AI Odyssey: Text-to-3D Models~

Multiple tools to build a throne fit for a princess

This week our intrepid founder explores - Polycam, Luma AI, Thingverse, Flashforge, Canva, Clipchamp and Suno to see what happens when you mix Athese tools. Did the human or AI tool craft the better throne? AI-powered creation tools are leveling up exponentially right under our noses, shaping the future of computer graphics whether we ride this wave or wipe out.

Join Wes each week in this inventive journey and get inspired to experiment with these cutting-edge models yourself.

šŸ“˜ AI Word of the Week: Black Box Model

Simplifying Complex terms so everyone - beginner to advance - can better understand AI,ML concepts and terminology

Black Box Model - An AI model whose inner workings are mysterious and opaque. A black box model is one whose logic and predictions are difficult for humans to understand. This is because the model is too complex for easy analysis and interpretation.


Getting more Advanced: The complexity of machine learning models like deep neural networks makes their inner workings challenging to explain. While inputs go in and outputs come out, the reasoning and features driving the output is hidden in the model's layers and weights. This lack of transparency can make troubleshooting difficult. In contrast, white box models are designed for interpretability. Understanding black box model decisions is an active area of research, leading to techniques like LIME and SHAP for explainable AI.


Context/Relevance: Neural networks acting as black boxes has raised concerns when they are used in applications like healthcare, finance and criminal justice where transparency is critical.

šŸŽ“ Research and Discoveries: Actionable Insights

The top article this week from the latest research and practical applications of AI shared within our community. From theoretical breakthroughs to hands-on applications, this is the one thing to be sure to read about the evolving landscape of AI technology.

Purpose: OpenCodeInterpreter is introduced to bridge the gap between open-source code generation models and proprietary systems like GPT-4 Code Interpreter. It's designed to generate, execute, and refine code through an iterative process, leveraging a dataset called Code-Feedback which consists of 68,000 multi-turn interactions, incorporating both execution outcomes and human feedback for dynamic code refinement.

Key Findings: This ā€œfamily of open-source code systems designed for generating, executing, and iteratively refining codeā€ showcases remarkable performance, closely rivaling GPT-4ā€™s accuracy on benchmarks like HumanEval and MBPP. With synthesized human feedback from GPT-4, its accuracy further improves, highlighting its ability to dynamically refine code based on feedback, significantly enhancing open-source code generation capabilities.

Discussion: OpenCodeInterpreter represents a significant advancement in code generation, demonstrating superior adaptability and precision through the integration of compiler diagnostics and human feedback. It underscores the importance of iterative refinement in improving code generation models, setting a new benchmark for future technologies in software development tools.
