It seems like a missed opportunity that none of the model providers have oauth that lets you use your subscription on other platforms that use are just using there api.

There is a recurrent debate among software developers: should functions be small and favor modularity, or should they be larger to favor readability? This is a false choice. It's not about code. It's about tools. Indeed, if you only consider plain code editors, then it can be…

I've done a deep dive into SB 1047 over the last few weeks, and here's what you need to know: *Nobody* should be supporting this bill in its current state. It will *not* actually cover the largest models, nor will it actually protect open source. But it can be easily fixed!🧵

This is the most surprising and exciting result of my career: we were running simulations of NaCl with a neural network potential that implicitly accounts for the effect of the water, ie a continuum solvent model (trained on normal MD) when Junji noticed something strange: 1/n

My first PhD paper!🎉We learn *diffusion* models for code generation that learn to directly *edit* syntax trees of programs. The result is a system that can incrementally write code, see the execution output, and debug it. 🧵1/n

It's a mistake to try to raise money if you're not quite attractive enough to investors. They don't say no immediately. They suck up a lot of your time and hope, and then say no. It's a huge distraction and crushingly bad for morale.

I just uploaded a 90 minute tutorial, which is designed to be the one place I point coders at when they ask "hey, tell me everything I need to know about LLMs!" It starts at the basics: the 3-step pre-training / fine-tuning / classifier ULMFiT approach used in all modern LLMs.

Let's reverse engineer the phenomenal Tesla Optimus. No insider info, just my own analysis. Long read: 1. The smooth hand movements are almost certainly trained by imitation learning ("behavior cloning") from human operators. The alternative is reinforcement learning in…

RedPajama 3B now runs on an iPhone! ... or on AMD, Nvidia, Intel GPUs, Apple Silicon, iPhones, and Android phones. Excited by the possibilities this opens up for personal, private LLMs trained and running on your local device! #opensourceai #mlcllm mlc.ai/blog/2023/05/2…
