The FAIK Files

Behavior Models, Temperature Tweaks, and Safety Battles

Listen Later

Welcome back to the FAIK Files!

On this week's episode,

  • We explore the world of AI hallucinations. What causes them? Do they make AI useless, or could they potentially lead to scientific breakthroughs
  • We dive into emerging AI models like Large Behavior Models (LBMs) and how they differ from traditional Large Language Models
  • We examine the ongoing battle for AI safety with a focus on xAI's newest release, Grok 3
  • And finally, DeepSeek is still causing ripples
