AI models are getting better at reasoning — of sorts. OpenAI’s o1, for instance, has levelled up enough to earn a cautious nod from Apple.
Meanwhile, Kai-Fu Lee’s 01.AI is also making waves with Yi-Lightning, claiming to outpace GPT-4o on reasoning benchmarks. With China’s models catching up fast, Meta is also stepping up Llama’s game.
The big question: can Meta bring Llama’s reasoning closer to the likes of GPT-4o and o1? Manohar Paluri, VP of AI at Meta told AIM that the team is exploring ways for Llama models to not only “plan” but also evaluate decisions in real time and adjust when conditions change.
This iterative approach, using techniques like ‘Chain of Thought,’ supports Meta’s vision of achieving “advanced machine intelligence” that can effectively combine perception, reasoning, and planning.
Meta AI chief Yann LeCun believes that advanced machine intelligenceor AMI, also known as “friend” in French, systems can truly help people in their daily lives. This, according to him, …
