Elon Musk is officially getting into the AI wars with a new site, xAI, to “understand reality.”
I’m not sure exactly what that means, but Elon will be hosting a Twitter Spaces event on July 14 to explain more about our new AI overlords.
Today we announce the formation of xAI.
The goal of xAI is to understand the true nature of the universe.
The sci-fi writer in me is sounding off a lot of red alarms right now, but I guess we’ll roll with it!
More from the xAI team:
Our team is led by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX. We have previously worked at DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Research, Microsoft Research, Tesla, and the University of Toronto. Collectively we contributed some of the most widely used methods in the field, in particular the Adam optimizer, Batch Normalization, Layer Normalization, and the discovery of adversarial examples. We further introduced innovative techniques and analyses such as Transformer-XL, Autoformalization, the Memorizing Transformer, Batch Size Scaling, and ฮผTransfer. We have worked on and led the development of some of the largest breakthroughs in the field including AlphaStar, AlphaCode, Inception, Minerva, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4.
It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out…
