Runpod Roundup 5 – Visual/Language Comprehension, Code-Focused LLMs, and Bias Detection

The Runpod Roundup for the week ending August 26, 2023, highlights recent advancements in AI models, focusing on new offerings available to run on a Runpod instance. It covers Alibaba Research's Visual Qwen (Qwen-VL Series), which are vision-language models capable of understanding both text and images, allowing for image identification and conversation generation. Meta has released Code Llama, a code-focused large language model based on Llama-2, designed for generating and summarizing code, available in general and Python-specific versions, and runnable on smaller GPUs. Meta also introduced the FACET dataset to evaluate biases in computer vision models, addressing concerns about fairness in AI training data.
