What happened this week in AI by Louie This week, we saw a continued rapid pace of new LLM releases and the recent accelerated development of robotics foundation models. Cohere released its 35 billion parameter model “Command-R,” its first partially open model, while Elon Musk also announced that xAI will open-source its Grok LLM this week. These are the latest developments in a trend towards hybrid model release strategies after Mistral added a new closed model to the previously fully open-sourced model portfolio. Google recently released its first fully open LLM model series — Gemma. We also had a model update from Inflection in its somewhat unique LLM strategy. Inflection-2.5 approaches GPT-4 performance on benchmarks but stands out with its narrow focus on powering a high EQ personal chatbot, “Pi,” which is now claimed at 6 million monthly active users.
