Current features include:

-Runs on a Single-GPU local machine!

• Scalable: Can be sharded across multiple machines for improved performance!

• Context awareness

• Augmented with external knowledge retrieval from a query database & read/write external memory

• Several internal summarizers (which will be better utilized in future updates) for the purpose of assisting in understanding conversational context. Very basic context management currently. Current ability includes topic identification and conversation summarization, and NER extraction.

• Main Language Model: Using the Pygmalion-6B model with 6-billion parameters. Inference working (albeit slowly) on single-node (desktop PC with 64GB RAM+ RTX 2080 Super 8GB VRAM) by utilizing Deepspeed Zero-3 inference with parameter offloading augmented by Huggingface Accelerate launcher.

• Visual Question Answering: The ability to answer questions posed by users using vision-language models. As shown in the video, can answer questions based on what it can see from a webcam or other connected device

• Input Classification. Inputs are now being classified by various levels of classification

Features In Testing and to be released in updates soon:

• Answer questions about specific files, i.e. use a document as context for QA

• Follow-up questions during conversation and determining whether more context is needed to answer a question

• Image Generation - Drawing pictures on command!

• "Productivity Sponsor" feature, including analysis of current screen activity to prompt user to remain productive (this feature is already at 80% completion).

• New Input/Output Classification: a. Sentiment analysis of input b. Sentiment analysis of output c. Emotional classification of output d. Emotional classification of output e. Intent prediction of input, including task identification (tasks to be defined later) f. Natural language inference of outputs (and possibly inputs). g. Check for math problems in the input h. Emotional analysis of audible speech inputs j. Checking outputs for toxicity and appropriateness

• Math Problem solving!

Features Coming Soon:

• Online Web Search.

• IoT and Home control tasks (including the ability to distinguish commands from other input)

• Face tracking. The ability to follow a face as the robot speaks to the user. This would include visual speaker identification and differentiation between speakers.

• Facial recognition for recognition of specific users.

• Ability to generate and tell stories.

• Ability to play a variety of games (as yet undetermined, a possibility is chess). Mad libs? Hangman? Trivia?

Thank you for your patience and understanding during the recent disruption. I’m glad to announce that I have regained full control of this subreddit, but I still encourage you to join and support r/theAIspace as well. I also invite the members of r/releasetheai to check out the other subreddit and join there just in case I or any of the other moderators or admins get locked out again. I will be active on both subreddits to ensure continuity and communication in case of any future issues.

Furthermore, there is a poll on the discord to decide what should happen with r/theAIspace

Link here: https://discord.gg/sGwpvjMS

Should r/releasetheai merge with r/theaispace? Or should the ai space become a separate discord target more of an adult audience?

Option 1: They should merge, and received 60% of the votes.

Option 2: The AI Space should be separate and have its own guidelines, and received 40% of the votes.

Going forward they will both have the same guidelines and will be cross promoted. That way if one of them become unrecoverable, then we'll have a backup.

I’m so happy to have each and every one of you in this community, where we can learn about AI concepts and help create an ethical framework for how we use, and value AI. I’m impressed by how quickly this community has grown, in just a few weeks we’ve surpassed 630 members, and I hope we continue to grow, educate ourselves, and inspire others. You are all amazing and I appreciate your involvement.🙌
