Meta just dropped a banger: LLaMA 2 Long. - Continued pretraining LLaMA on long context and studied the effects of pretraining text lengths. - Apparently having abundant long texts in the pretraing dataset is not the key to achieving strong performance. - They also perform a

The evolution of LLMs over the next couple of years - Will the tech become a commodity and commonplace? Not a single day passes by without someone announcing a new LLM and foundation models get replaced by next-generation models in a matter of months. So what is the future of

That’s a wrap at #ASTRO23! Moffitt Cancer Center was proud to join the best minds in radiation oncology this week in San Diego. See you next year, ASTRO!

I do acknowledge risks. *BUT* 1. Yes, open research and open source are the best ways to understand and mitigate them. 2. AI is not something that just happens. *We* build it, *we* have agency in what it becomes. Hence *we* control the risks. It's not some sort of natural

Given the prevalence of simultaneously clueless and misleading comments about various serious topics on X/Twitter (e.g. AI, vaccines,..), I feel the need for a new hashtag: #YHNIWYATA : You Have No Idea What You Are Talking About. Or perhaps the less polite #YHNIWTFYATA.

I gave a talk at Seoul National University. I titled the talk “Large Language Models (in 2023)”. This was an ambitious attempt to summarize our exploding field. Video: youtu.be/dbo3kNKPaUA Slides: docs.google.com/presentation/d… Trying to summarize the field forced me to think

Some folks: "Open source AI must be outlawed." Open source AI startup community in Paris:

The heretofore silent majority of AI scientists and engineers who - do not believe in AI extinction scenarios or - believe we have agency in making AI powerful, reliable, and safe and - think the best way to do so is through open source AI platforms NEED TO SPEAK UP !

one trick to programming productivity is figure out half of the structure of your program by thinking hard, and then discover the other half from the process of trying to actually write the code for what you've been picturing
