Researchers at UC Berkeley and Microsoft Research have developed Gorilla, a large language model that excels at generating accurate API calls. This LLaMA-based model outperforms state-of-the-art LLMs such as GPT-4 by mitigating the problem of hallucination and adapting to document changes at test time. Gorilla is trained on massive datasets from Torch Hub, TensorFlow Hub, and Hugging Face.

Gorilla's code, model, data, and demo are now available on GitHub, with plans to add more domains such as Kubernetes, GCP, AWS, and OpenAPI.

Movie extras in Hollywood are concerned that AI could replace them as productions use body scans to create digital replicas of actors, NPR reports. This tension is central to the ongoing strike between background actors and studios. Hollywood has used technology to enhance films for years, but advances in generative AI are enabling synthesizing and digital cloning of actors on a whole new level.

Background actors fear they will be the first in the industry to be made obsolete by AI. SAG-AFTRA, the actors' union, wants to ensure adequate compensation for actors whose digital replicas are used, leading to disputes over consent, compensation, and future use of AI-created digital likenesses.
