Cursor reaches >1000 tok/s finetuning Llama3-70b for fast file editing
Cursor, an AI-native IDE, announced a speculative edits algorithm for code editing that surpasses GPT-4 and GPT-4o in accuracy and latency, achieving speeds of over 1000 tokens/s on a 70b model. OpenAI released GPT-4o with multimodal capabilities including audio, vision, and text, noted to be 2x faster and 50% cheaper than GPT-4 turbo, though with mixed coding performance. Anthropic introduced streaming, forced tool use, and vision features for developers. Google DeepMind unveiled Imagen Video and Gemini 1.5 Flash, a small model with a 1M-context window. HuggingFace is distributing $10M in free GPUs for open-source AI models like Llama, BLOOM, and Stable Diffusion. Evaluation insights highlight challenges with LLMs on novel problems and benchmark saturation, with new benchmarks like MMLU-Pro showing significant drops in top model performance.
