Python Profiler Links to AI to Improve Code

Computer & Information Technology

Python continues its dominance as one of the top programming languages, yet it’s notorious for being sluggish, so some software developers resort to profilers—tools that run programs to determine which parts of the code are slow. But profilers can be frustrating, because they can slow programs down during the profiling…

Meta’s Llama 2 Elbows Into a Still-Open Field

Electrical, Electronics & Instrumentation

Last week, Meta introduced Llama 2, a new large language model with up to 70 billion parameters. The new generative AI system represents a spectacular shot across the bow of OpenAI, which shares few details about most AI models including GPT-3/3.5 and GPT-4. Llama 2’s release—with 40 percent of the…

When AI’s Large Language Models Shrink

Computer & Information Technology

Building ever larger language models has led to groundbreaking jumps in performance. But it’s also pushing state-of-the-art AI beyond the reach of all but the most well-resourced AI labs. That makes efforts to shrink models down to more manageable sizes more important than ever, say researchers. In 2020, researchers at…
