Meek Models Shall Inherit the Earth
The past decade has seen incredible scaling of AI systems by a few companies, leading to inequality in AI model performance. This paper argues that, contrary to prevailing intuition, the diminishing returns to compute scaling will lead to a convergence of AI model capabilities. In other words, meek models (those with limited computation budget) shall inherit the earth, approaching the performance level of the best models overall. We develop a model illustrating that under a fixed-distribution n…

phylo2vec: a library for vector-based phylogenetic tree manipulation
Phylogenetics is a fundamental component of many analysis frameworks in biology as well as linguistics to study the evolutionary relationships of different entities. Recently, the advent of large-scale genomics and the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has underscored the necessity for phylogenetic software to handle large datasets of genomes or phylogenetic trees. While significant efforts have focused on scaling optimisation algorithms, visualization, and lineage identification, an emerging body of researc…
