AI Weekly Malaysia

We’re proud to announce that the 2021 class of OpenAI Scholars has completed our six-month mentorship program and have produced an open-source research project with stipends and support from OpenAI.

OpenAI is committed to developing general-purpose artificial intelligence that benefits all humanity, and we believe that achieving our goal requires expertise in public policy as well as technology. So, we’re delighted to announce that Congressman Will Hurd has joined our board of directors.

Over 300 applications are delivering GPT-3–powered search, conversation, text completion, and other advanced AI features through our API.

Higher-end Redmi Note 10 Pro comes with 108MP quad-cam, 120Hz display The Redmi Note 10 arrives earlier on March 8, prices from US$196 NOT long after the arrival of the Mi 11, Xiaomi has announced the latest line-up of its mid-range Redmi smartphone series – the Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10. The latter device will be available for purchase in Malaysia from March 8 onwards, while the Pro version from March 15 onwards. The Redmi Note 10 Pro is, of course, the higher-end version of the new series. It comes with a 6.67-inch AMOLED DotDisplay that features 120Hz refresh rate, which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, Xiaomi said in a statement. The device also features a quad-camera setup led by a 108MP main shooter, followed by an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera, 5MP tele-macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor. The main sensor touts a 9-in-1 'binning' technology and dual native ISO combine, which the company said helps capture finer details and provide a higher dynamic range. The Redmi Note 10 Pro will offer both pro and tele-macro time-lapse video shooting. Other additional features in Redmi Note include photo clones, video clones, dual video and long exposure modes for extra fun photo or video sharing on your favorite social media apps, the company said. The Redmi Note 10 Pro is a 4G device but still powerful nonetheless. It sports a Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G chipset, an optimised-for-gaming chipset. The device is powered by a 5,020mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. The base Redmi Note 10, on the other hand, comes with a smaller 6.43-inch AMOLED DotDisplay, which doesn’t support 120Hz refresh rate. It does, however, have the 33W fast charging and dual speakers that the Pro version has. This Note 10 also sports a quad-camera setup, albeit with a 48MP main shooter coupled with an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera, a 2MP macro lens and a 2MP depth sensor. The main shooter does have time-lapse capabilities. The Note 10 runs on the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 678, a chipset which is designed to bring better photography and connectivity capabilities in the mid-range market without sacrificing battery endurance, Xiaomi claimed. The device has a 5,000mAh battery. The Redmi Note 10, available in Malaysia from March 8 in a 6GB+128GB setup, comes in three colours: Onyx Gray, Pebble White and Lake Garden. It prices at US$196 (RM799). [RM1 = US$0.245] Meanwhile, the Redmi Note 10 Pro comes in two variants: 8GB+128GB and 6GB+128GB, which is priced at RM1,099 and RM999 respectively. The Pro version comes in three colours: Onyx Gray, Glacier Blue and Gradient Bronze, and will be available for purchase in Malaysia from March 15. Both devices will be available at official Xiaomi stores on Lazada and in-store at authorised Mi stores, and other official retailers.

We’ve discovered neurons in CLIP that respond to the same concept whether presented literally, symbolically, or conceptually. This may explain CLIP’s accuracy in classifying surprising visual renditions of concepts, and is also an important step toward understanding the associations and biases that CLIP and similar models learn.

Sarazin to provide tactical advice, direction in risk management and mitigation strategies Previously head and VP of enterprise risk management at BSN The Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) today announced the appointment of Sarazin Sheikh Mustafa (left, pic) as director of risk management and compliance. In a press statement, MDEC said the appointment of Sarazin will provide the agency with tactical advice and direction in risk assessment and mitigation strategies. She will also lead the implementation of a risk management framework for MDEC aimed at ensuring that comprehensive and consistent risk identification, assessment and processes are met. Sarazin’s appointment marks another milestone under MDEC’s 're-invent’ agenda, which is aimed at “inculcating a high-performance, high-impact organisation.” The agency begun cascading changes throughout the organisation to ensure “optimal performance” for its new structure, with Sarazin being the latest addition. Prior to MDEC, Sarazin was the head and vice president of enterprise risk management and business continuity management at Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN). She led the engagement and enhancement of relationship with regulators and other stakeholders. She was also responsible for the identification, assessment, review, and monitoring of risks, in line with Bank Negara Malaysia’s Risk Governance Framework as well as the central bank's Risk Framework. “I bring with me 15 years’ worth of experience in risk management and strategies and I will do my utmost to ensure that MDEC continues to create effective and cogent outcomes at all levels. I am thrilled to be able to do my part and apply my know-how to further add value towards achieving best practices and results,” said Sarazin. Sarazin will lead the risk management and compliance departments at MDEC. She will provide tactical advice and direction to the board of directors, relevant board committees, including the integrity and audit and risk committee and business teams in line with MDEC’s commitments. “Over the course of her illustrious career, Sarazin has established herself as a risk management specialist leader and I am certain she will [sucessfully] spearhead risk management and mitigation unit,” said Rais Hussin, chairman of MDEC. “I look forward to the step-up in our overall efficiency and expect to benefit our various stakeholders and ultimately the people and the country.” Related Articles var related_articles = [72853,72755,72761]; function sleep(ms) { return new Promise(resolve = setTimeout(resolve, ms)); } async function check() { //console.log('checking...'); while(typeof loadArticle !== "function") { await sleep(1000); } window.loadArticle(related_articles); } check(); For more technology news and the latest updates, follow us on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn Keyword(s) : MDeC Reinvent Sarazin Sheikh Mustafa digital economy Appointments Risk Management Author Name : Digital News Asia

We’ve scaled Kubernetes clusters to 7,500 nodes, producing a scalable infrastructure for large models like GPT-3, CLIP, and DALL·E, but also for rapid small-scale iterative research such as Scaling Laws for Neural Language Models.

We’ve trained a neural network called DALL·E that creates images from text captions for a wide range of concepts expressible in natural language.

We’re introducing a neural network called CLIP which efficiently learns visual concepts from natural language supervision. CLIP can be applied to any visual classification benchmark by simply providing the names of the visual categories to be recognized, similar to the “zero-shot” capabilities of GPT-2 and GPT-3.

It’s been a year of dramatic change and growth at OpenAI.
