Large language models (LLMs) often hallucinate—generating plausible yet incorrect information. Recent research by Meta AI researchers explores a promising technique to address this issue, termed Chain-of-Verification (CoVe). Quick Overview of Chain-of-Verification (CoVe) CoVe takes a systematic approach to enhance the veracity of the responses generated by large language models. It’s a four-step dance: This technique … Read more
🧑💻 TLDR: The BitVM whitepaper by Bitcoin developer Robin Linus introduces a method to implement Ethereum-like smart contracts on Bitcoin without a hard fork. BitVM proposes a system where contract logic is executed off-chain but verified on Bitcoin, similar to Ethereum’s optimistic rollups, BitVM enables Turing-complete Bitcoin contracts. The architecture employs fraud proofs and a … Read more
💡 TLDR: GPT-4 with vision (GPT-4V) is now out for many ChatGPT Plus users in the US and some other regions! You can instruct GPT-4 to analyze image inputs.
