AI Voice Cloning with < 3 seconds Audio🤯

PLUS: Language to Quadrupedal Motion, How Knowledgeable are LLMs?

Hey there 👋

There’s never a dull moment in the AI field and today too we have some really intriguing updates. Ever imagined cloning voice using AI with only 3 seconds of reference audio? It is possible!

Shifting gear, a Google project is bridging the gap between human communication and quadrupedal robots by turning natural language into seamless, fluid movements. On the other side, Meta’s CoTracker emerges with its cutting-edge video motion prediction capabilities. Lastly, as our AI world expands and we increasingly use AI chatbots, we’ll explore how accurate are our LLMs on some lesser-known facts.
Let’s dive right in!

Latest Developments 🌍

SayTap: Making Robots Dance to Your Words 🦿

Meet SayTap, a groundbreaking project from Google that's making four-legged robots understand human language. Imagine telling a robot to "walk slowly" or "jump high," and watch it follow your commands like a real pet! This system uses foot contact patterns and language models to translate your words into the robot's movements.

CoTracker: Track Videos Smarter, Not Harder 🎥

Meet CoTracker, the cutting-edge solution that's redefining video motion prediction. CoTracker smartly keeps tabs on multiple points in a video, recognizing how they relate to each other. Built on a transformer network with specialized attention layers, this system delivers both efficiency and accuracy that outpaces current methods.

Clone any Voice using AI in < 3 secs 🤯

VALL-E X is an amazing multilingual text-to-speech (TTS) model proposed by Microsoft. While Microsoft initially published a research paper, they did not release any code or pre-trained models. But now, we have an Opensource implementation of VALL-E X that you can use to clone any voice on your computer.

Can LLMs Replace Knowledge Graphs? 🤔

In a new research, the authors try to understand: How smart are LLMs? Using a clever benchmark called Head-to-Tail, researchers evaluate the knowledge base of 14 public LLMs. While these chatbots may seem like a know-it-all they still have a long way to go, particularly in their understanding of less-popular facts.

Hot Takes 🔥

• The best benchmark I can think of is people recommending a model. This is what happens with GPT-4, you'll see plenty of folks saying use GPT-4 because it works well. Benchmarks don't capture that essence, people do ~ anton

• It's actually possible to achieve SOTA on all NLP tasks using RegEx, but no one knows how to actually use it. ~ Bojan Tunguz

• Momentum is going to start accelerating in XR/Spatial this Fall. Anecdotal and subjective, but I can sense it. ~ Jonathan Chavez
