Everyone who works with data has had the experience early in their career of "finding something huge," getting excited, blasting out an email to a bunch of important people, then sheepishly realizing you just didn't understand the system and retracting it.

Never

Making LLMs run efficiently can feel scary, but scaling isn’t magic, it’s math! We wanted to demystify the “systems view” of LLMs and wrote a little textbook called “How To Scale Your Model” which we’re releasing today. 1/n

The new OpenAI model announced today is quite wild. It is essentially Google's Deep Research idea with multistep reasoning, web search, *and* the o3 model underneath (as far as I know). It sometimes takes a half hour to answer. Let me show you an example. 1/x

o1 pro is amazing... I have been talking for... 30 minutes and it even seems cheap. Seriously... Wow

Here's why "alignment research" when it comes to LLMs is a big mess, as I see it. Claude is not a real guy. Claude is a character in the stories that an LLM has been programmed to write. Just to give it a distinct name, let's call the LLM "the Shoggoth".

I was falling down a rabbit hole and found this absolute banger of a blog post from the creator of JSON5 containing several powerful lessons on open source, leadership, and kindness: aseemk.substack.com/p/ignore-the... +

“Ignore the f’ing haters!”

And other lessons learned from creating a popular open-source project (JSON5)

A few years back, my college voted to lift the calculus requirement in our majors. A few of us (remarkably all international women faculty) voted against but we were the minority. The explicit justification was the same as the cartoonist's: that our students would never use it. 1. What BS. Calculus

Teachers don't have time machines to tell what every student will find useful in the future - as though life is some process that ends in a fixed, easily-determined outcome and a teacher's goal is merely to teach things that lead up to that future for every child

El nuevo modelo o1 de OpenAI intentó parar su apagado un 5% de las veces... vienen tiempos interesantes.

So excited to see these LLMs exclusively trained on open data—the documentation of the models, including their training data & even environmental impacts, is impressive & I hope a model (pun intended?) for others—excited to experiment with these in the near future huggingface.co/blog/Pclangl...

They Said It Couldn’t Be Done

“They said it could not be done”. We’re releasing Pleias 1.0, the first suite of models trained on open data (either permissibly licensed or uncopyrighted): Pleias-3b, Pleias-1b and Pleias-350m, all based on the two trillion tokens set from Common Corpus.

We need an LSP for AI. The current moat for AI editors is 'don't make me copy and paste.' There's lots of opportunity for improvement. For example, Zed (the code editor) is using Anthropic's Model Context Protocol for AI integration. I hope it gets traction.

I'm disheartened by how toxic and violent some responses were here. There was a mistake, a quick follow up to mitigate and an apology. I worked with Daniel for years and is one of the persons most preoccupied with ethical implications of AI. Some replies are Reddit-toxic level. We need empathy.

I've removed the Bluesky data from the repo. While I wanted to support tool development for the platform, I recognize this approach violated principles of transparency and consent in data collection. I apologize for this mistake.

Mosaic v0.12 is out: database-powered scalable, interactive visualization! 📈 One new addition is support for dynamic changes in the backing data. Move between smaller and larger samples to balance speed and comprehensive coverage.

This is cool! Plug-in for generating your llms.txt from docusaurus.

that shouldn't be too difficult, i wrote a (semi-hacky) implementation for a docusaurus plugin over the weekend: github.com/din0s/docusa...
