The AI Revolution: How Large Language Models are Changing the Game

The world of artificial intelligence has witnessed a significant shift in recent years, with the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) revolutionizing the way we interact with technology. From chatbots to medical diagnosis, LLMs are being used in a wide range of applications, transforming industries and redefining the boundaries of human-AI collaboration.

The Outage of ChatGPT: A Wake-Up Call for AI Developers

The recent outage of ChatGPT, one of the most popular AI chatbots, has left users searching for alternatives. The issue, which began early Tuesday, has been acknowledged by OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, and is currently being investigated. This outage comes on the heels of ChatGPT’s recent expansion of GPT-4o access to free users, granting them the same capabilities as paid users.

While the exact cause of the outage is unknown, it’s clear that the influx of new users has put a strain on the servers. This incident highlights the importance of scalability and reliability in AI systems, particularly those that are relied upon by millions of users.

Alternatives to ChatGPT

For those who absolutely need GPT-4o’s capabilities, Microsoft Copilot, which also uses GPT-4o, is currently operational and available on Windows devices. It is also integrated into Microsoft’s Edge browser, or via its standalone website, and even via a mobile app available for iOS and Android.

Those willing to test other waters may want to try Claude, which offers a comparable model in terms of text generation and coding capabilities. Also, Mistral AI’s LeChat provides a robust language model for free, generating high-quality text.

Another contender may be Reka AI’s multimodal chatbot, which can understand visual inputs, code, and is capable of generating text.

Meta AI’s multimodal large language model (LLM) is another free option, although it doesn’t generate large amounts of text. It leverages the power of Llama3, the most powerful open-source LLM to date. It is also capable of generating images on the spot, which no other model or chatbot can.

Those willing to get their hands dirty may want to visit Nat.dev and experiment with a bunch of models online. For those who prefer not to send their data to corporate servers, open-source models that can be run on personal computers are worth considering.

The Future of AI in Insurance

The insurance industry is another sector that is ripe for disruption by LLMs. Automating actuarial processes can yield significant advantages in the intricate domain of reinsurance, where risk assessment plays a pivotal role.

In this article, we explored how LLMs, with their ability to understand and generate natural language, provide groundbreaking solutions to complex reinsurance challenges. In particular, we evaluated a set of state-of-the-art Large Language Models on an actuarial task requiring sophisticated reasoning and calculation: determining total liability from a reinsurance contract.

Integrating Human Values into Medical AI

Researchers in The New England Journal of Medicine review how integrating human values into AI-based large language models impacts clinical decision-making in medicine.

It remains unclear whether “human values” that reflect human goals and behaviors will remain incorporated into the creation and use of LLMs. How human values differ from and are similar to LLM values must also be elucidated.
