AIOS: LLM Agent Operating System

Authors: Kai Mei, Zelong Li, Shuyuan Xu, Ruonsong Ye, Yingqiang Ge, Yongfeng Zhang
Institution: Rutgers University
This paper introduces AIOS, a novel operating system designed to integrate large language models (LLMs) as its core, aiming to address efficiency and resource allocation issues in deploying intelligent agents. AIOS optimizes resource use, improves context handling, allows multiple agents to run concurrently, and ensures secure access, aiming to enhance the performance of LLM agents and facilitate the development of a more advanced AI ecosystem.

The Unreasonable Ineffectiveness of the Deeper Layers

Authors: Andrey Gromov, Kushal Tirumala, Hassan Shapourian, Paolo Glorioso, Daniel A. Roberts
Institution: Meta FAIR & UMD, Meta FAIR, Cisco, Zyphra, MIT & Sequoia Capital
This study examines the effects of removing up to half of the layers from large language models and finds that doing so does not significantly impact their ability to answer questions. By using efficient finetuning methods, the pruned models still perform well, suggesting either deeper layers may be redundant, or that early layers are crucial for the model's knowledge.

Can large language models explore in-context?

Authors: Akshay Krishnamurthy, Keegan Harris, Dylan J. Foster, Cyril Zhang, Aleksandrs Slivkins
Institution: Microsoft Research, Carnegie Mellon University
This study explores if Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 can explore and make decisions without extra training, using them in simple decision-making tests. Results show they struggle unless the task's history is summarized effectively, suggesting that improving LLMs for decision-making may need more sophisticated methods.

This study introduces 2D Gaussian Splatting (2DGS) as a new method for creating highly accurate 3D models from images. It improves on the previous 3D method by using 2D shapes, ensuring consistency and detail in the models. The technique also speeds up the process of generating these models while maintaining high quality and real-time rendering.

Be Yourself: Bounded Attention for Multi-Subject Text-to-Image Generation

Authors: Omer Dahary, Or Patashnik, Kfir Aberman, Daniel Cohen-Or
Institution: Tel Aviv University, Snap Research
This study addresses the challenge of generating images from text descriptions that involve multiple subjects. It finds that existing methods often mix up features of these subjects due to 'semantic leakage'. The paper introduces 'Bounded Attention', a new approach that better maintains each subject's distinctiveness without additional training, leading to more accurate multi-subject images.

Authors: Jerry Wei, Chengrun Yang, Xinying Song, Yifeng Lu, Nathan Hu, Dustin Tran, Daiyi Peng, Ruibo Liu, Da Huang, Cosmo Du, Quoc V. Le
Institution: Google DeepMind, Stanford University
This study introduces a new way to evaluate the accuracy of long responses by AI, called SAFE, which checks each fact against Google Search results. It proves more efficient and almost as accurate as human checks. Larger AI models performed better in tests. The tools and code are publicly shared for further research.

sDPO: Don't Use Your Data All at Once

Authors: Dahyun Kim, Yungi Kim, Wonho Song, Hyeonwoo Kim, Yunsu Kim, Sanghoon Kim, Chanjun Park
Institution: Upstage AI, South Korea
This paper introduces sDPO, a method to improve large language models by using preference data in steps, not all at once. It leads to more accurate models, even beating larger ones, by aligning them closely with human preferences.

Institution: UC Berkeley, ICSI, LBNL
LLM2LLM is a new method to improve large language models (LLMs) performance in tasks with limited data. It works by using one LLM to generate additional training data from mistakes made by another LLM being trained, thereby focusing on harder examples and significantly boosting performance. This method outperforms traditional approaches, especially in situations with scarce data.

Institution: Stanford University, DataBricks
BioMedLM is a compact, specialized model designed for biomedical tasks, trained on PubMed texts. Despite being smaller than giants like GPT-4, it achieves competitive results in biomedical question-answering. This shows that smaller, focused models can be effective, offering benefits like transparency and privacy.

ObjectDrop: Bootstrapping Counterfactuals for Photorealistic Object Removal and Insertion

Authors: Daniel Winter, Matan Cohen, Shlomi Fruchter, Yael Pritch, Alex Rav-Acha, Yedid Hoshen
Institution: Google Research, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
This study introduces a new method for improving image editing, especially for removing and inserting objects in photos realistically. It uses a 'counterfactual' dataset—photos taken before and after an object is removed—and enhances a computer model to better understand how objects affect their surroundings. While direct application to object insertion was challenging due to dataset size, the researchers developed a technique to expand the dataset synthetically. Their method outperforms previous ones, making image edits more realistic by accurately handling object effects like shadows and reflections.
