| The Rundown: Google just unveiled Gemma 2 2B, a lightweight AI model with just 2B parameters that outperforms much larger models like GPT-3.5 and Mixtral 8x7B on key benchmarks. | The details: | Gemma 2 2B boasts just 2.6B parameters, but was trained on a massive 2 trillion token dataset. It scores 1130 on the LMSYS Chatbot Arena, matching GPT-3.5-Turbo-0613 (1117) and Mixtral-8x7b (1114) — models 10x its size. Other notable key benchmark scores include 56.1 on MMLU and 36.6 on MBPP, beating its predecessor by over 10%. The model is open-source, and developers can download the model's weights from Google's announcement page.
| Why it matters: As we enter a new era of on-device, local AI, lightweight and efficient models are crucial for running AI directly on our phones and laptops. With Gemma 2 beating GPT-3.5 Turbo at just 1/10th the size, Google isn't just showing what's possible — they're cementing their position as the leader in the small model space. |

| The Rundown: Taco Bell's parent company, Yum Brands, just announced plans to roll out AI-powered drive-thru ordering at hundreds of restaurants in the U.S. by the end of 2024, with ambitions for global implementation. | The details: | The AI understands orders, auto-inputs them into the system, and even suggests additional items — potentially increasing sales through upselling. Over 100 Taco Bell restaurants in the U.S. already use voice AI in drive-thrus. The company has been testing the AI for over two years and claims it has outperformed humans in accuracy, reduced wait times, and decreased employee workload. Rivals like Wendy's and White Castle are also experimenting with AI ordering, while McDonald's recently ended its IBM partnership for similar tech.
| Why it matters: If Taco Bell's positive results on their two-year test are any indication, this large-scale AI implementation could change the way fast-food chain businesses operate and how we order food at drive-thrus. However, the success (or failure) of this rollout could set the tone for the entire industry's adoption. |

| The Rundown: Researchers at USC made a breakthrough using AI to reprogram glioblastoma cells into immune-activating dendritic cells in mouse models, potentially revolutionizing treatment for the deadly brain cancer. | The details: | Glioblastoma is the deadliest adult brain cancer, with less than 10% of patients surviving five years after diagnosis. AI identified genes that can convert glioblastoma cells into dendritic cells (DCs), which sample cancer antigens and activate other immune cells to attack the tumor. In mouse models, this approach increased survival chances by up to 75% when combined with immune checkpoint therapy. Researchers have also identified human genes that could potentially reprogram human glioblastoma cells, paving the way for future clinical trials.
| Why it matters: By turning cancer cells against themselves, this new research offers a novel way to fight tumors from within. If the 75% increased survival chances in mice translate to humans, this could not only revolutionize glioblastoma treatment but potentially open doors for similar approaches in other hard-to-treat cancers. |
