🧠 New AI model can fix its own mistakes

• AI startup OthersideAI has introduced Reflection 70B, an open-source language model optimized with a technique called "reflection tuning," and plans to release a more advanced model, Reflection 405B, next week.

• Founder Matt Shumer asserts that Reflection 70B, built on Llama 3, is currently the most capable open-source model and can rival top proprietary models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4o.

• Reflection 70B uses "reflection tuning," a two-stage training method allowing the model to identify and correct its mistakes, aiming to reduce factual inaccuracies and outperform existing models in various benchmarks.

🛰️ Elon Musk now controls two-thirds of all active satellites

💻 New AI agent will code and deploy your idea for you

• Replit's new AI agent allows users to simply describe their app ideas in natural language, and the AI autonomously codes, debugs, and deploys the entire project.

• Unlike traditional coding assistants, Replit’s AI agent acts like a proactive software developer, understanding the full development lifecycle from code generation to deployment.

• By leveraging data from millions of developers, Replit's AI can handle complex tasks independently, offering a faster and more accessible way for users to turn their app ideas into reality.
