Larger OCTOPUS

Research on "larger octopus" (referring to various AI models named "Octopus") focuses on developing advanced multimodal AI systems capable of complex tasks like object manipulation, natural language generation, and software API interaction. Current efforts involve creating large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs), often incorporating techniques like supervised contrastive learning and mixture-of-expert methods, to improve performance and efficiency. These models are being applied to diverse fields, including materials science, robotics, and augmented reality, demonstrating the potential for significant advancements in AI capabilities and practical applications.
