According to DeepLearning.AI, Microsoft has launched Phi-4-multimodal, a high-performing model with 5.6 billion parameters, designed to process text, images, and speech simultaneously. This transformer-based architecture has shown impressive capabilities in speech transcription and image processing, potentially impacting sectors reliant on AI for data analysis and automation.

According to @DeepLearningAI, a new course by @JayAlammar and @MaartenGr explains how large language models like GPT, Gemini, and Llama use transformer architecture to convert text into tokens, which is crucial for understanding model functionality and improving trading algorithms based on language processing. The course is particularly relevant for traders seeking to leverage AI for market analysis, as understanding tokenization and processing can enhance predictive capabilities.
