Making big models do small jobs with application programming interfaces

Nexus
Overview of TaskMatrix.AI. Credits: Intelligent Computing (2023). DOI: 10.34133/icomputing.0063 A research team at Microsoft has designed an efficiency tool called TaskMatrix.AI that can be used to accomplish a wide variety of specific AI tasks. TaskMatrix.AI connects general-purpose foundation models like GPT-4, the model behind ChatGPT, with specialized models suitable for certain tasks—much like a human project manager. This research was published in Intelligent Computing. Foundation models and specialized models usually have different mechanisms and, thus, are not easily compatible. Rather than modifying and integrating existing models, TaskMatrix.AI bridges the gaps between them through application programming interfaces, or APIs, which enable…Continue Reading
