Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.

The famed Stanford Smallville is officially open-source! 25 AI agents inhabit a digital Westworld, unaware that they are living in a simulation. They go to work, gossip, organize socials, make new friends, and even fall in love. Each has unique personality and backstory.

I’m very excited to share our work on Gemini today! Gemini is a family of multimodal models that demonstrate really strong capabilities across the image, audio, video, and text domains. Our most-capable model, Gemini Ultra, advances the state of the art in 30 of 32 benchmarks,

It is only rarely that, after reading a research paper, I feel like giving the authors a standing ovation. But I felt that way after finishing Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) by Rafael Rafailov @ NeurIPS Archit Sharma Eric Stefano Ermon Christopher Manning and Chelsea Finn. This

I gave a 50m talk at the Story Discovery at Scale data journalism conference at Stanford a few weeks ago. The video is now out, and I've written an extensive annotated version AI for Data Journalism: demonstrating what we can do with this stuff right now simonwillison.net/2024/Apr/17/ai…

Today at Answer.AI we've got something new for you: FSDP/QDoRA. We've tested it with AI at Meta Llama3 and the results blow away anything we've seen before. I believe that this combination is likely to create better task-specific models than anything else at any cost. 🧵

New release of my LLM command-line tool, adding support for the new GPT-4o model released by OpenAI this morning: pipx install llm llm keys set openai # Paste API key here llm -m 4o "Fascinate me" To upgrade an existing installation, run this: llm install --upgrade llm

Dwarkesh Patel This has been the most promising branch of approaches so far -- leveraging a LLM to help with discrete program search, by using the LLM as a way to sample programs or branching decisions. This is exactly what neurosymbolic AI is, for the record...

Llama 3.2 is out, and it's a much more substantial release than the 3.1 to 3.2 version bump might indicate Four new models, including Meta's first two vision models (11B and 90B) and two new text-only small models (1B and 3B) My notes so far: simonwillison.net/2024/Sep/25/ll…

One more piece of evidence to add to the pile. This was an extremely heretic viewpoint in early 2023, and now it is increasingly becoming self-evident conventional wisdom.
