Example Sentences

Described in a research paper published on Monday by a Berkeley, Calif., startup called Profluent, the technology is based on the same methods that drive ChatGPT, the online chatbot that launched the A.I. boom after its release in 2022.

From New York Times

Much as ChatGPT learns to generate language by analyzing Wikipedia articles, books and chat logs, Profluent’s technology creates new gene editors after analyzing enormous amounts of biological data, including microscopic mechanisms that scientists already use to edit human DNA.

From New York Times

“To generate a fluent sentence or a document, the algorithm needs to learn about relationships between different types of words, but it needs to also learn facts about the world to make a document that’s cohesive and makes sense,” says Ali Madani, a computer scientist formerly at Salesforce Research who recently founded Profluent.

From Scientific American
