A new wave of AI is here — Reka launches its powerful Flash and Edge AI models, built for blazing speed and real-world performance 💡⚡. Pair that with Lenovo’s new AI Operating System, and we’re looking at a future where edge computing and AI integration go mainstream 🔥📲. This isn’t just innovation — it’s a total shift in how and where AI works 🧠🌐.
00:00A groundbreaking tech startup from California called Reika is making waves with its latest AI, Reika Flash.
00:07Founded by ex-Google and Facebook experts, including Singapore's Yi Tay, this team is fast becoming a big deal in AI.
00:14With a recent $58 million boost, they're on a roll, proving they're ones to watch in the tech world.
00:20At the heart of Reika's recent announcement are two distinct AI models, Reika Flash and Reika Edge.
00:26Flash is a multimodal and multilingual model boasting 21 billion parameters, designed to process and understand a blend of text and images across more than 32 languages.
00:38Its capabilities are said to rival and in some aspects outperform those of established models like Google's Gemini Pro and OpenAI's GPT 3.5, especially in reasoning, cogeneration, and question answering.
00:52Reika Edge, on the other hand, is a more compact variant with 7 billion parameters.
00:58Tailored for scenarios requiring minimal resources, Edge is ideal for use on devices with limited computing power, making advanced AI technologies more accessible and versatile.
01:09Now Reika Flash's prowess is highlighted through its performance on several benchmarks.
01:13It has demonstrated superior capabilities in knowledge-based question answering, reasoning, and code generation, surpassing larger models like Llama 2, Grok 1, and even GPT 3.5.
01:25For instance, in the MMLU benchmark for knowledge-based question answering, Flash achieved an accuracy of 73.5%, outperforming Gemini Pro and GPT 3.5.
01:36Similar superior performances were noted in other benchmarks, underscoring Flash's efficiency and effectiveness.
01:42A significant advantage of Flash model is its multilingual capacity, pre-trained on text from over 32 languages, including English, German, Chinese, and Japanese, among others.
01:53This broad linguistic foundation allows Reika Flash to excel in multilingual reasoning and question answering, setting new standards for global AI applications.
02:02In the realm of multimodal benchmarks, which involve understanding and generating responses based on images and videos, Reika Flash remains competitive.
02:11It shows promising results in visual question answering and video captioning, maintaining a strong performance against models like Gemini Pro and outdoing others on various tasks.
02:22Reika has also ventured into refining AI's conversational abilities with both Flash and Edge.
02:28Through rigorous instruction tuning and reinforcement learning techniques, these models have been optimized for engaging and realistic chat experiences.
02:35In evaluations pitting Reika's models against others, like GPT-4 and Claude 2.1, Flash and Edge have demonstrated commendable performance, showcasing their potential in delivering nuanced and contextually aware interactions.
02:49Reika Edge, despite its smaller size, has not lagged in performance.
02:53It shines in language benchmarks, rivaling and even outperforming other models of its scale and knowledge, question answering, reasoning, and code generation.
03:01Its efficiency and the ability to work in resource-constrained environments make it a valuable tool for developers and users needing lightweight but powerful AI solutions.
03:11Reika's ambition doesn't stop with Flash and Edge.
03:14The company has teased the upcoming release of Reika Core, its largest and most advanced model yet, promising further innovations in AI technology.
03:22The founding team's vision, rooted in their rich experience at leading tech firms like Google DeepMind and Meta, is not just about creating competitive AI models.
03:31It's about pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve, making sophisticated technologies accessible and usable across a wide range of applications, from on-device utilities to complex server-based processing tasks.
03:44Now the launch of Flash and Edge AI models represents a significant milestone in the AI landscape.
03:50By offering models that combine efficiency, flexibility, and advanced capabilities, Reika is not just challenging established giants like Google and Microsoft, but is also democratizing access to cutting-edge AI technologies.
04:03With its continued focus on innovation and accessibility, the company is poised to make a lasting impact on how AI is developed and utilized, bringing us closer to a future where AI can more profoundly elevate human potential.
04:18So, what's the big deal?
04:20Well, at CES 2024, a big tech event where companies show off their latest gadgets, Liu Jun, who's a big shot at Lenovo, shared some interesting news.
04:29Lenovo is cooking up its very own AI-based operating system.
04:33Why?
04:34Because they want to dive deep into the world of AI, just like many other tech companies these days.
04:39It seems like AI is popping up everywhere in technology, and Lenovo doesn't want to be left behind.
04:45But Lenovo is doing more than just creating a new operating system.
04:48They're planning to release a bunch of smart computers in the first half of 2024.
04:53These computers are special because they can learn how you like to use them.
04:56This means the more you use them, the easier and more comfortable they become to use, as they get to know your habits and preferences.
05:04Lenovo's big idea here is to create a whole ecosystem of AI-powered devices.
05:10So, if you end up using their AI tech, you'll likely find that everything works together really well, making your digital life a bit easier and more connected.
05:19It's a bold move by Lenovo, aiming to carve out its own space in the AI tech scene with something that could really shake things up.
