Fact or Fiction
Google DeepMind Launches Fact-Checking AI ✅

Google DeepMind just dropped FACTS Grounding, a benchmark designed to test how well AI models can provide fact-checked answers sourced straight from given documents.

But there’s a catch… GPT-4 and Claude 3.5 are sitting as AI judges calling the shots on accuracy and relevance. Covering tasks like summaries and Q&A across finance, tech, and law, the benchmark's goal is to tackle the trust issues haunting large language models.

It won’t fix AI’s hallucination problem overnight, but it’s a step toward models that value truth as much as we do.

Data On A Diet
Nvidia’s New Solution To Cut Enterprise Data Storage By 35x

AI goes lean, thanks to Nvidia and DataStax. Their new technology cuts enterprise data storage needs by 35x while speeding up complex tasks like processing 10 million Wikipedia entries in days instead of weeks.

As a benefit, companies get faster, more accurate AI results without handing over sensitive info to outside models. With enterprise data ballooning to 20 zettabytes by 2027 (yes, that’s a lot), this solution could be a sanity saver for businesses drowning in unstructured chaos.

Using Nvidia's NeMo Retriever and DataStax's platform, industries like finance are already running with it, proving AI can be efficient and secure.
