This Startup Wants to Spark a US DeepSeek Moment

WIRED

With the US falling behind on open source models, one startup has a bold idea for democratizing AI: let anyone run reinforcement learning. Ever since DeepSeek burst onto the scene in January, momentum has grown around open source Chinese artificial intelligence models. Some researchers are pushing for an even more open approach to building AI that allows model-making to be distributed across the globe. Prime Intellect, a startup specializing in decentralized AI, is currently training a frontier large language model, called INTELLECT-3, using a new kind of distributed reinforcement learning for fine-tuning. The model will demonstrate a new way to build competitive open AI models using a range of hardware in different locations in a way that does not rely on big tech companies, says Vincent Weisser, the company's CEO.




Performance-optimized deep neural networks are evolving into worse models of inferotemporal visual cortex

Neural Information Processing Systems

One of the most impactful findings in computational neuroscience over the past decade is that the object recognition accuracy of deep neural networks (DNNs) correlates with their ability to predict neural responses to natural images in the inferotemporal (IT) cortex [1, 2].
