A new board of directors is currently being formed Sam Altman will return to the post of CEO of OpenAI after a coup attempt and his removal from this position a few days ago. Former President Greg Brockman, who resigned in protest of Altman's ouster, will also return. The company said it has an "agreement in principle" to bring back Altman along with a new board of directors consisting of Bret Taylor, Larry Summers and Adam D'Angelo. D'Angelo was on the old board of directors that fired Altman on Friday.

Their number increased overnight Already, 96% of OpenAI employees have signed a letter saying they could leave and join Sam Altman at Microsoft unless the startup's board resigns and brings back the ousted CEO along with co-founder and former president Greg Brockman. Among the signatories was Ilya Sutskever, the company's chief scientist and member of its board, who is accused of coordinating the coup against Altman. The letter was signed by 738 of OpenAI's 770 employees, or about 96%. Yesterday  there were about 600 people. Shortly before the letter was published, Sutskever wrote: “I deeply regret my participation in the actions of the board. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we've created together and will do whatever it takes to bring the company back together." [caption id="attachment_83872" align="aligncenter" width="780"] OpenAI[/caption] 96% of OpenAI employees want to leave the company after the scandal with the dismissal of Sam Altman On Friday, OpenAI's board suspended Altman, saying "he was not always forthcoming with the board of directors, which limited his ability to perform his duties." Meera Murati, CTO of OpenAI, was appointed interim CEO. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella later announced that Altman and Brockman would join the tech giant to lead a new cutting-edge artificial intelligence research unit. Nadella also said he would welcome other OpenAI employees. OpenAI's board of directors decided to remove Murati and appoint another interim CEO, Emmett Shear , the former CEO of Twitch.

Eureka teaches more effectively than a human Well, the moment has come when artificial intelligence began to train robots. Nvidia has developed an AI agent called Eureka, which can teach robots complex motor skills. [caption id="attachment_72735" align="aligncenter" width="780"] artificial intelligence[/caption] For example, Eureka taught a robotic hand pen spinning—quickly juggling the handle with its fingers. Of course, a virtual model of the robotic arm was trained, but that doesn't matter. In total, Nvidia's AI agent taught the robots nearly 30 different tasks, including opening cabinet doors, throwing and catching a ball, and so on. Some of these actions may seem very simple, but this is only because we know how to do them automatically and without thinking. https://youtu.be/sDFAWnrCqKc Eureka relies on the GPT-4 language model. Training took place in the Nvidia Isaac Gym physics simulation application. Reinforcement learning has made impressive advances over the past decade, but many challenges still exist, such as reward design, which remains a trial-and-error process. Eureka is the first step towards developing new algorithms that combine generative and reinforcement learning techniques to solve complex problems Artificial intelligence has been created that trains robots. It is important to note that the efficiency of Nvidia's AI agent is very high. The press release said that Eureka's reward programs, which allow robots to learn through trial and error, outperform programs written by experts on more than 80% of tasks. This results in an average increase in bot performance of over 50%. The AI ​​agent uses the GPT-4 language model and generative AI to write code that rewards robots for reinforcement learning. It doesn't require task-specific prompts or predefined reward templates and easily incorporates people's feedback to change rewards to produce results that more closely align with the developer's vision. Using GPU-accelerated simulation in Isaac Gym, Eureka can quickly assess the quality of large batches of reward candidates for more efficient training. Eureka then compiles a summary of key statistics from the training results and instructs the language model to improve the generation of reward functions. Thus, AI improves itself. He has taught all kinds of robots - quadrupeds, bipeds, quadcopters, dexterous robots, manipulator cobots, and others - to perform a variety of tasks
