2024 AI Year in Review

January 5, 2025

2024 has been a year of remarkable progress in AI. Over the past year, I’ve grown from a beginner to a deeply engaged specialist, fully immersed in the field’s rapid advancements.

Things have been evolving at an incredible pace, and conversations about AGI and ASI seem endless.

I recently came across an X post that perfectly captures my feelings—it resonates deeply with my experience this year.

In case you are my Chinese funs, here is the Claude 3.5 sonnet translation:

  • GPT-4的技术壁垒被全面突破
  • 一些GPT-4模型可以在我的笔记本电脑上运行
  • 由于竞争和效率提升,大语言模型价格暴跌
  • 多模态视觉变得普及,音频和视频功能开始浮现
  • 语音和实时摄像头模式从科幻变为现实
  • 提示词驱动的应用程序生成已成为一种商品
  • 对最佳模型的普遍访问仅持续了短短几个月
  • "智能代理"还未真正实现
  • 评估真的很重要
  • Apple Intelligence表现不佳,但Apple的MLX库很出色
  • 推理能力扩展模型的崛起
  • 目前最好的大语言模型是否在中国以不到600万美元的成本训练完成?
  • 环境影响有所改善
  • 环境影响变得更加严重
  • 草率/潦草之年
  • 合成训练数据效果很好
  • 大语言模型的使用变得更加困难
  • 知识分布极不均衡
  • 大语言模型需要更好的批评/评价机制
  • 2024年我博客上所有标签为"llms"的内容

I’ve also put together my personal summary of AI advancements in 2024, documented as video talk.
