00:00Something big is happening in the world of AI, and it's called ARIA.
00:07This open-source AI model is getting attention fast, and for good reason.
00:12It's open for anyone to use and build on.
00:15But what's really got people excited is how ARIA is already standing shoulder-to-shoulder with major players like GPT-40 and Claude 3.5's Sonnet.
00:24It's causing a stir, and when you see what it's capable of, it's clear why this new model is becoming the one to watch in AI.
00:31Alright, so ARIA was developed by a Tokyo-based company called Rhymes AI.
00:37It's what's called a multimodal AI, meaning it can handle different types of data, text, images, code, and video all at once within the same system.
00:45This is a big deal because traditionally, AI models are usually built to be good at one thing.
00:51You've got models like GPT-4, which excel in language, or others that might be really good at processing images.
00:57But ARIA does it all, and that's something not many models can pull off efficiently.
01:01But what truly sets this model apart is its incredible efficiency.
01:05See, most AI models that try to do everything tend to be huge.
01:09Which means they're power-hungry and need a lot of computational resources.
01:13And that's not the case with ARIA.
01:15It's built using something called a Mixture of Experts framework.
01:19Think of it like having a team of specialized experts.
01:22Only the expert that's needed for a specific task gets activated.
01:26So when you throw a request at ARIA, it only uses the part of the system that's necessary,
01:31making it much lighter on your hardware compared to other large AI models that run everything all at once.
01:37This kind of architecture makes the model more efficient and also makes it faster at processing the tasks you throw at it.
01:43And just to put some numbers on it, ARIA operates with 24.9 billion parameters, but it only activates 3.5 billion at any given time.
01:53Compare that to a fully dense model that has to run all its parameters and you'll see why it can outperform its competition without needing a supercomputer to function.
02:01Now, let's see what ARIA can do.
02:03First, it's impressive how effortlessly it manages different types of inputs, whether it's text, code, images, or video, while delivering top-notch performance across the board.
02:13It's actually the first multi-modal MOE model that combines this architecture with the ability to work seamlessly across multiple types of data.
02:22In one test, researchers fed ARIA an entire financial report.
02:26Instead of just pulling out keywords or highlighting a few sections like a standard model might, the model was able to analyze the entire report,
02:33extract detailed data, calculate profit margins, and even create Python code to build graphs complete with formatting details.
02:40And it wasn't just skimming the surface, it was deeply understanding the report and delivering a precise output.
02:47That level of insight is pretty rare for AI models, especially one that's open source.
02:53In another test, ARIA was given an hour-long video about Michelangelo's David.
02:57You might think an AI could just pull out a few key phrases, but this one did something more.
03:02It dissected the video into 19 distinct scenes, giving start and end times, titles, and descriptions for each.
03:08It went beyond just picking out words or scenes.
03:11It grasped the entire context, processing the video on a much deeper level
03:15than simply recognizing objects or actions.
03:18It felt more like it was understanding the full narrative behind it.
03:22For those of you into coding, ARIA's skills shine there too.
03:26In one test, it watched a video tutorial, pulled out code snippets, and even debugged the code.
03:32It literally found and fixed a logic flaw in a nested loop, something that requires an advanced understanding of programming.
03:39This is a level of reasoning that makes ARIA stand out from other AI models.
03:44Now, it's one thing to hear about what this model can do, but it's another to see how it holds up against some of the giants in the AI world.
03:51In benchmark tests, ARIA has gone head-to-head with both open source and proprietary models, and the results are pretty stunning.
03:58It's outperformed open source models like Pixtrel 12b and Llama 3.211b.
04:03But where it gets even more impressive is when ARIA starts competing with proprietary models like GPT-40 and Claude 3.5's Sonnet.
04:12On multiple tests covering everything from text processing to video understanding, ARIA's performance was on par with these industry leaders.
04:19For example, in the DOCSVQA test, which is all about understanding documents and answering questions about them, ARIA scored 92.6%.
04:28That's better than a lot of the major models, including Pixtrel 12b.
04:32When it comes to handling long videos, it scored 66.8% on Long Video Bench and 72.1% on Video Mememe.
04:41These scores show that ARIA is indeed a jack-of-all-trades, but also genuinely capable of delivering top-tier performance across a range of tasks, even when compared to models from big companies with huge resources.
04:55But its real strength lies beyond just the numbers. Its long context window, capable of handling 64,000 tokens at once, gives it a significant advantage.
05:04This means it can process lengthy documents or videos while maintaining a strong grip on the details.
05:09That's where it pulls ahead of models like Pixtrel 12b and Llama 3.211b, even holding its own against proprietary models like Gemini 1.5 Flash.
05:20Alright, let's break down how ARIA was trained, which is a big reason behind its impressive performance.
05:25The model was prepped with an enormous amount of data, 6.4 trillion language tokens and 400 billion multimodal tokens.
05:34That's a lot, covering everything from text to images and videos, making sure it could get the hang of all types of inputs.
05:41Rhyme's AI didn't simply load it up with data and hope for the best.
05:45They followed a carefully structured approach to shape its abilities step-by-step.
05:49ARIA first focused on mastering the essentials through vast amounts of text, building a strong understanding of language.
05:56Once that foundation was in place, it moved on to more complex inputs like images, videos and code while maintaining its sharp language skills.
06:05This approach gave ARIA the versatility to excel across all kinds of content.
06:10Then, they trained it to deal with long pieces of data, whether it's hour-long videos or detailed reports without losing track or getting overwhelmed.
06:17And in the final stage, they sharpened its ability to follow instructions and give accurate, detailed answers.
06:24This approach ensured that ARIA didn't just understand data, but could engage with it in a meaningful way.
06:31By going through these steps, ARIA became a well-rounded and versatile model, ready to tackle a wide range of tasks with ease.
06:38So this model clearly represents a major shift in the future of AI.
06:43For a long time, the AI space has been dominated by closed systems, where access to top models meant relying on big companies like OpenAI or Google.
06:51Now, ARIA changes that by offering an open-source option that rivals, and in some cases, surpasses its proprietary competitors.
06:59Of course, there are still hardware constraints.
07:02You'll need a powerful GPU with at least 80 GB of VRM to run ARIA effectively.
07:07But considering how new it is, there's a lot of room for optimization, and we could see lighter, more efficient versions down the road.
07:14In fact, Rhyme's AI has already hinted that they're working on quantized versions of ARIA, which will make it easier for more people to run it without needing supercomputers.
07:25ARIA represents the future of AI, one that's open, adaptable, and efficient.
07:30It has the potential to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI, offering developers the freedom to innovate without the constraints of proprietary systems.
07:39As more people start using it and contributing to its development, it could become a real competitor to some of the biggest names in the industry.
07:46ARIA's ability to seamlessly work with text, images, video, and code, all in one system, gives us a real sense of where AI is headed.
07:54Whether you're a developer aiming to create something groundbreaking or simply someone intrigued by how fast AI is evolving, this model is definitely worth paying attention to.
