  • Fraunhofer launches FhGenie

    The Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, one of Germany’s largest and most renowned research agencies, published a paper “FhGenie: A Custom, Confidentiality-preserving Chat AI for Corporate and Scientific Use“, in which the authors describe a customized chat AI, baptized FHGenie. The paper describes the motivation and requirements leading to the design, as well as the solution’s architecture. 1.…

  • Techniques for using language models

    One of the weaknesses of the models currently available on the market is that they have been trained on a publicly accessible data set, which may not necessarily be sufficient to meet certain specific needs. Take, for example, a company with a large volume of proprietary data, a highly specialized vocabulary or specific data formats.…

  • From language models to multimodal models

    Language models have remarkable qualities. Their ability to analyze complex human language queries, which comes from training on the immense volumes of textual data accessible on the Internet, was enough to provoke enthusiasm. However, these algorithms model only one component of human perception: text. Multimodal models aim to overcome this limitation by natively processing different…

  • Copyright and generative AI

    To kick off 2024, I’d like to talk about the current copyright situation for generative models. This is a highly topical issue, since two lawsuits on this subject are currently before the Anglo-Saxon courts: the first, in Great Britain, pits the Getty Images image library against Stability AI, a company that supplies an image-generating model.…

  • An update on European regulations governing generative models

    You’ve probably read or heard about it in the media over the last few days: the European institutions reached an agreement on the future regulation of Artificial Intelligence on Friday December 8. This is the famous European Artificial Intelligence Act, the broad outlines of which I had already outlined in a previous article. At the…

  • Local generative models

    Introduction While 2023 was dominated by cloud-based models such as chatGPT and Claude, this approach could well change this year. This is due to the rapid progress of open-source models, which are gradually closing the gap with proprietary models. These open-source models make it possible to run models locally, which opens up new perspectives that…

  • Mistral: the French start-up that’s making waves

    Over the past few weeks, French start-up Mistral has been making a lot of waves in the world of generative AI. Founded in May 2023 by three engineers from Google Deepmind, Mistral has already raised 385 million euros in capital in six months and is currently valued at around 2 billion euros! This unbridled growth…

  • Three ways to not implement GenAI

    In his blog On holding back the strange AI tide, Ethan Mollick observes how the arrival of powerful AI systems like ChatGPT has been sudden and disruptive. These systems can now do many tasks previously reserved for humans, causing major impacts across work and life without warning or preparation. Many leaders are desperately trying to…
