Baidu just dropped an open-source multimodal AI that it claims beats GPT-5 and Gemini

by AI Generated Robotic ContentAI/ML NewsPosted on Comments are Disabled

Baidu Inc., China’s largest search engine company, released a new artificial intelligence model on Monday that its developers claim outperforms competitors from Google and OpenAI on several vision-related benchmarks despite using a fraction of the computing resources typically required for such systems. The model, dubbed ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B-Thinking, is the latest salvo in an escalating competition among …

Fine-tune VLMs for multipage document-to-JSON with SageMaker AI and SWIFT

by AI Generated Robotic ContentFAANGPosted on Comments are Disabled

Extracting structured data from documents like invoices, receipts, and forms is a persistent business challenge. Variations in format, layout, language, and vendor make standardization difficult, and manual data entry is slow, error-prone, and unscalable. Traditional optical character recognition (OCR) and rule-based systems often fall short in handling this complexity. For instance, a regional bank might …

Running high-scale reinforcement learning (RL) for LLMs on GKE

by AI Generated Robotic ContentFAANGPosted on Comments are Disabled

As Large Language Models (LLMs) evolve, Reinforcement Learning (RL) is becoming the crucial technique for aligning powerful models with human preferences and complex task objectives. However, enterprises that need to implement and scale RL for LLMs are facing infrastructure challenges. The primary hurdles include the memory contention from concurrently hosting multiple large models (such as …

Meta returns to open source AI with Omnilingual ASR models that can transcribe 1,600+ languages natively

by AI Generated Robotic ContentAI/ML NewsPosted on Comments are Disabled

Meta has just released a new multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR) system supporting 1,600+ languages — dwarfing OpenAI’s open source Whisper model, which supports just 99. Is architecture also allows developers to extend that support to thousands more. Through a feature called zero-shot in-context learning, users can provide a few paired examples of audio and …
