I've added two optimizers to the public benchmark: (1) Shampoo (with its original 1/4 power). (2) Spectral descent, which is equivalent to both Muon(mu=0) and Shampoo(b1=b2=0). Result: Shampoo falls halfway between Muon & Adam; Spectral descent is ~2x slower. Thread below 1/6

hmmm 🤔

Gemini 2.0 is now available to everyone. ✨ ⚡ Start using an updated 2.0 Flash in @Google AI Studio, @GoogleCloud’s #VertexAI and in @GeminiApp. We’re also introducing: 🔵 2.0 Pro Experimental, which excels at coding. 🔵 2.0 Flash-Lite, our most cost-efficient model yet. 🔵 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental, in @GeminiApp. 🧵 goo.gle/40OsRfj

We are announcing the launch of Airial Travel’s open-to-all beta version for desktop today. Airial is your personal travel agent with AI superpowers which makes planning and booking trips as easy as dreaming them up. airial.travel Me and Sanjeev co-founded Airial Travel a year ago to solve a problem we faced repeatedly. Being avid travelers living in the US with our families in India, we were traveling for several months a year and spending multiple days planning and booking each trip. Hours and hours of research, browsing, watching videos, form-filling, spreadsheets, refinements etc. At the end of the process in most cases, we just booked because we were exhausted and wanted to get it over with. As we talked to people and read up about this, we realized that the scale and the intensity of this problem is stunning - hundreds of millions of trips are booked online every year and planning each of them takes over five hours on average. Our vision “Just imagine your trip, and Airial it!” stems from our ultimate wish as travelers - AI that can figure out all the intricacies of trip planning for you - hotels, activities, flights, trains, transits, deals, date options, restaurants, interests, research, travel videos and everything else. Our defining features originate from the core beliefs that Airial is built on: 📅 Detailed intricately crafted plans: Attention to detail makes trip plans incredible. Airial plans trips in a level of detail that is simply unmatched, taking care of hundreds of common sense constraints across thousands of variables in seconds. 🚀 From Reels to Itineraries: TikTok / IG reels to Trips is work that millions do manually. We now enable all this in a click. This is the intersection of the two big trends in travel - AI and Socials. 🏖️ Personalized Planning: Travel portals today are one-size-fits-all. We plan trips tailored to your specific interests - architecture tours, scenic hikes or samurai sword fighting lessons! 👆 Actionable Itineraries: Just having a chatbot pick out one combination for you isn’t practically useful. Which was the last trip you planned that didn’t need any refinement? Every decision Airial makes for you is changeable via chat or UI controls. 🌎 Discovery in context: As you plan your trip, Airial gives you the tools to discover incredible ideas and expert advice specific to your itinerary and interests which can be instantly imported into your trip. Now you can “Just imagine your trip and Airial it!”. Try it out now on your laptop at airial.travel!

Big news on Chatbot Arena 🔥 The new @GoogleDeepMind model gemini-exp-1206 is crushing it, and the race is heating up. Google is back in the #1 spot 🏆overall and tied with O1 for the top coding model! Highlights (improvement since gemini-exp-1121 in parentheses) - First place overall (2->1) - Tied with GPT-4o-1120 after style control (4->1) - Tied with O1 on coding leaderboard (3->1) - First place on hard prompts (2->1) Keep it up @GoogleDeepMind! The rate of progress is crazy. For analysis and to test the model, see below 👇

Flash8B General Availability: We originally trained Flash 8B giving it all our algorithmic efficiency improvements to pack as much as possible in a small form factor which then was scaled up to Flash On benchmarks, it is closely matching Flash announced during May at I/O

These win rates are quite interesting too Flash has a win rate of 55% over gpt-4-1106 while loses to Yi-Large at 49% which is ranked lower. Use the model that fits you!
