The article highlights the complexities of assessing AI model performance, emphasizing the need for independent benchmarks like those from the new Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence. While large language models (LLMs) are often seen as pivotal to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), the piece argues that smaller models may be more effective for practical uses. It also critiques the discourse surrounding AGI, suggesting that it tends to overlook the nuanced aspects of human intelligence which the AI is measured against, calling for a clearer definition of intelligence in this context.
AI vendors often showcase rapid advances in model capabilities, yet quantifying these improvements remains elusive, leading to vague assessments based on 'vibes' rather than concrete metrics.
The introduction of the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence aims to establish independent benchmarks, shedding light on actual performance metrics for evaluating AI systems.
While large language models (LLMs) are considered a pathway to achieving AGI, research suggests that smaller models can be more effective for specific practical applications.
The ongoing discussion surrounding AGI often misrepresents the nature of human intelligence, indicating that evaluating AI intelligence based solely on 'general' capabilities could be misleading.
