Vitalik Buterin Tests New AI Models for Programming Applications

According to U.Today, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has been experimenting with new AI models, including llama3 and Mixtral. He has been testing these AI models against the industry-leading ChatGPT, sharing insights into their performance when programming simple applications, such as Python-based weather software. Buterin's recent exploration into AI is in line with his reputation for curiosity and continuous research. His hands-on approach has been instrumental in guiding the evolution of the Ethereum platform. This meticulousness is also evident in his examination of AI capabilities, a field that is rapidly changing our everyday lives and tools. In a series of tests, Buterin observed that while ChatGPT maintained accuracy and successfully completed tasks, delivering a working product, the llama3 model was close behind, despite some minor issues. Regardless, each model was able to deliver semi-functional code that could potentially be transformed into a working application. Currently, AI models are being actively utilized by software developers across various fields, effectively becoming a crucial tool in the creation of complex programs and applications. However, it is not yet feasible to construct something as intricate as the Ethereum ecosystem solely using AI. Buterin's experiments indicate that while AI models, like humans, are not perfect and have room for improvement, they can be used as tools for creating sophisticated solutions. However, they are not yet capable of replacing high-tier human developers. The possibility of Ethereum incorporating AI in the future remains open, with Buterin always on the lookout for the 'next big thing'.
