π Eureka Labs: The Future of Education?
Andrej Karpathy, formerly Tesla Director of AI and OpenAI founding member, announced the launch of an AI+Education company called Eureka Labs.
The details:
Its first AI course, LLM101n, is an undergraduate-level course teaching students to train their own AI.
They plan digital and physical cohorts of students.
The platform combines human teachers with an AI teaching assistant to guide the students through the learning materials.
Our thoughts
The future of education is AI-powered personalized learning. The latest breakthroughs in Generative AI are paving the way for this. AI tutors can guide the students through the learning material and answer individual questions about the learning materials.
In addition, the upscaling of the education system gives more people access to education. In our opinion, AI tutors + human teachers are the future of the education system. Great move, Andrej Karpathy!

π©π½βπ» Mistral releases Codestral Mamba and Mathstral
Mistral launched two new open-source models, called Codestral Mamba and Mathstral. These two new small language models achieve state-of-the-art performance on various benchmarks.
The details of Codestral Mamba:
7B parameter model with advanced coding capabilities, ideal for complex coding tasks and local development
It is based on a Mamba architecture, not a transformer model.
The model has the advantage of linear time inference and the theoretical ability to model sequences of infinite length.

The details of Mathstral:
7B parameter model for math tasks
State-of-the-art performance on benchmarks MATH (56.6%) and MMLU (63.47%)
Produced in the context of the collaboration with Project Numina

The models were released under the Apache 2.0 license and are available for free use, modification, and distribution via Mistral's API and HuggingFace.
Our thoughts
Mistral is a European AI company and can keep up with the big tech companies. As Europeans, we are naturally pleased about this. Mistral is also shaking up the AI landscape with innovative approaches and demonstrating with these specialized models that small models can also be very powerful. We especially like Mistral's open-source approach!

π€ OpenAI launches a small, cost-efficient model
OpenAI launched GPT-4o mini, a small and cost-efficient version of GPT-4o. According to OpenAI, "GPT-4o mini will significantly expand the range of applications built with AI by making intelligence much more affordable".
The details:
GPT-4o mini costs: 15 cents per million input tokens and 60 cents per million output tokens, 60% cheaper than GPT-3.5 Turbo
GPT-4o mini (MMLU: 82%) outperforms Google's Gemini Flash (MMLU: 77.9%) and Anthropic's Claude Haiku (MMLU: 73.8%)
GPT-4o mini replaces GPT-3.5 Turbo in ChatGPT
Our thoughts
The models are becoming cheaper, faster, and more intelligent. But it is irritating that there is still no open-source model! We think this is a mistake, as the open-source community is responsible for many innovations. See Meta's Llama 3 family!
