This Week I Learned -  * OpenAI is planning to release its first open-weight language model with reasoning capabilities. An open-weight language model's trained parameters or weights are publicly accessible, which can be used by developers to analyze and fine-tune the model for specific tasks without requiring original training data. These language models are different from open-source models, which provide access to the complete source code, training data and methodologies. * Playlist of the 5-Day Gen AI Intensive Course with Google * A single human genome's raw data alone demands roughly 200 GB. This is all necessary to comprehend gene variants and their locations at the subatomic level. Statistically, roughly 0.1% of gene locations differ between any two people, creating a broad spectrum of genetic makeup. Understanding these variations helps pinpoint the causes (and target specific mutations) of genes (disordered sequences causing diseases), influencing disease susceptibi...
