I don't think I've ever seen a Twitter dispute that was so one-sided. All the people who understand tech, on both right and left, are on one side, and the other side is just anonymous accounts and political commentators.
The official stats show that the H-1B is neither cheap nor "replacing" Americans. H-1B has a 85k annual cap, ~70% of it is which is Computer Science / IT or ~60k jobs. The US graduates ~160k students in CS a year, BS and MS. 40% White (64k), 25% non-American (40k, many included…
Helping to build chips better and faster is an important problem for today's technological landscape. Glad to see @ChipStackAI being recognized. @databricks has been an amazing partner to us so far in our journey.

databricks.com/blog/announcin… - Liquid Clustering for Delta Tables is now GA! Has been a lot of fun working on it the last 2 years.
DBRX is the top open-source model on the latest WildBench Leaderboard on HuggingFace! Thanks to our friends @allen_ai for this benchmark of LLMs with challenging tasks from real users in the wild. #DBRX huggingface.co/spaces/allenai…
The sacrifices to the twin gods of compute and crowdworking worked! In under 3 months we built the best commercially viable open weight LLM We're committed to opening up AI research again by giving *you* the result of our efforts! We're just getting started

We built a new model! 🧱 It's called DBRX 🧱 * mixture of experts * 16 choose 4 experts * 36B active, 132B total * trained on 12T tokens * built e2e in 2 months * using 3072xH100 * served up to 150 tok/s on @databricks * open weights :)
Meet our new AI, #DBRX DBRX is an advance in what language models can do per $. These economics will have profound impacts on how AI is used, and we've built this to democratize these capabilities! It's the best open model in the world. It closes the gap to closed models in a…

Meet DBRX, a new sota open llm from @databricks. It's a 132B MoE with 36B active params trained from scratch on 12T tokens. It sets a new bar on all the standard benchmarks, and - as an MoE - inference is blazingly fast. Simply put, it's the model your data has been waiting for.
Today we released an open source model, DBRX, that beats all previous open source models on the standard benchmarks. The model itself is a Mixture of Experts (MoE), that's roughly twice the brains (132B) but half the cost (36B) of Llama2-70B. Making it both smart and cheap. Since…
A lot happened in Databricks SQL in 2023 -- no wonder it's one of the fastest growing data warehouse platforms. Read how we improved latency and concurrency, made it serverless, and began automatically optimizing most workloads with AI: databricks.com/blog/databrick…
Insightful benchmark of Linux Foundation Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg by @BrooklynData that shows Delta is up to 8x faster in workloads with data updates. Most storage benchmarks only test reads, but with updates, care is needed to maintain performance. brooklyndata.co/blog/benchmark…
1/9 Indians in the US on a work visa can't go home. There’s NO appointments. The now ~200k H-1B Telegram group is growing by 13,000 per month. Even with ~$40m in fees, the 5 VACs process ~10,000 a month. The next availability is ~2024! Here’s 6 stories from hurting families:
With #Databricks' Himanshu Raja and @RahulMahadev at the #DeltaLake party. Always glad to see people who contribute to Delta and introduce features I'm learning a lot from later on ♥️ #DataAISummit
