This conversation delves into the latest developments in AI, particularly focusing on Google's Gemma models and their capabilities. The discussion covers the differences between various types of language models, the significance of multimodal inputs, and the training techniques employed in AI models. The hosts also explore the implications of open-source versus proprietary models, the hardware requirements for running these models, and the limitations of benchmarks in evaluating AI performance. Additionally, they touch on the future of robotics and the cultural differences in AI adoption, particularly between Japan and the United States. takeaways
Open source models are pushing the boundaries of AI. Gemma models are capable of multimodal inputs. Different types of LLMs serve different purposes. Benchmarks can be misleading and should be approached with caution. Training techniques like RLHF are crucial for model performance. The hardware requirements for AI models vary significantly. Cultural differences affect the adoption of robotics and AI. Robots are increasingly filling labor gaps in societies with declining populations. AI benchmarks should be tailored to specific use cases. The future of robotics and AI feels imminent and exciting.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
