Their model can also be run in reverse to guess real-world sounds from human vocal imitations, similar to how some computer vision systems can retrieve high-quality images based on sketches.

AI Model Generates Realistic World Sounds and Audio Imitations
By
–
The model can effectively take many sounds from the world & generate human-like imitations of them — including noises like leaves rustling, a snake’s hiss, & an approaching ambulance siren. pic.twitter.com/q2sOB0Tl9d

AI Model Simulates Human Vocal Tract and Speech Production
By
–
The researchers engineered their system to produce & interpret sounds much like we do. They first built a model of the human vocal tract that simulates how vibrations from the voice box are shaped by the throat, tongue, & lips. Then, they used a cognitively-inspired AI algorithm

O1 targets early adopters: PhDs, scientists, and engineers first
By
–
Not at all surprised that the o1 demos were extremely advanced and technical (and not business-oriented). They're catering toward first adopters. And those first adopters will be PhDs, scientists, and engineers.

Token-level bit efficiency metric for model evaluation
By
–
I need to think about this more, but I'm proposing token-level calculation of that concept: sum(token_bits / token_bytes for _ in all_tokens) … and not: sum(tokens_bits) / sum(tokens_bytes) Because the second one would hide bad predictions for longer tokens in the sum(),

Tokenization Boundaries and Cross-Entropy Loss Optimization
By
–
I found the exact tokenization boundary of the text and the corresponding token index. I can do the normalization but it's not perfect… (Testing it shortly.) Computing the cross-entropy like this rewards vocabularies with more tokens and easy predictions (on average) vs.
