Writer's New AI Model, Palmyra X 004, Outperforms Tech Giants in Function Calling

Intelligence: Writer's latest large language model, Palmyra X 004, marks a significant advancement in enterprise artificial intelligence, excelling in function calling and workflow execution to automate complex enterprise tasks.

• Palmyra X 004 scored 78.76% on Berkeley’s Tool Calling Leaderboard, surpassing other models from tech giants like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta by nearly 20%.

• The model also performed well on Stanford University’s Holistic Evaluation of Language Models (HELM) benchmark, indicating strong general language understanding and reasoning abilities across a broad range of subjects.

• Writer achieved these results with a model containing around 150 billion parameters, significantly smaller than some other models, attributing this efficiency to the innovative use of synthetic data and a proprietary early stopping mechanism during training.

• Palmyra X 004 has a 128,000 token context window and supports multilingual capabilities across 30+ languages. It can handle multimodal inputs including text, images, and audio.

Dead Animals Speak Up in Cambridge Exhibition, Courtesy of AI

Intelligence: In a unique application of AI technology, Cambridge University's Museum of Zoology is giving voice to its exhibits, allowing visitors to interact with deceased animals and learn their stories.

• The technology was developed by Nature Perspectives, a company dedicated to using AI to strengthen the connection between people and the natural world.

• The AI is programmed with specific details about each animal's life, habitat, and species information, and can adjust its tone and language based on the age of the person it's interacting with.

• The animals can converse in over 20 languages and are given accents that reflect their natural habitats.

• The project aims to change public perception of these animals and increase awareness of the biodiversity crisis.

• The interactions between visitors and exhibits will be analyzed to better understand what information the public wants from museum exhibits.
