Last week, Microsoft announced the new AI-powered Bing: a search interface that incorporates a language model powered chatbot that can run searches for you and summarize the results, plus do …
Implementing a GPT model from scratch in NumPy.
Stephen Wolfram explores the broader picture of what's going on inside ChatGPT and why it produces meaningful text. Discusses models, training neural nets, embeddings, tokens, transformers, language syntax.
Microsoft knowingly released a broken product for short-term hype
Let’s fix these pesky Transformer outliers using Softmax One and QuietAttention.
Wolfram plugin gives computationally accurate answers to ChatGPT queries using Wolfram's data knowledgebase and language. Custom visualizations are given as well. Stephen Wolfram explains how it works.
The open release of the Stable Diffusion image generation model back in August 2022 was a key moment. I wrote how Stable Diffusion is a really big deal at the …
An exploration into customizing LLMs for personal use
The thing I’m most excited about in our weird new AI-enhanced reality is the way it allows me to be more ambitious with my projects. As an experienced developer, ChatGPT …
If you want to read more of my writing, I have a Substack . Articles will be posted simultaneously to both places.
Embeddings are a really neat trick that often come wrapped in a pile of intimidating jargon. If you can make it through that jargon, they unlock powerful and exciting techniques …
In this post, we walk through my entire workflow/process for bringing Stable Diffusion to life as a high-quality framed art print. We’ll touch on making art with Dreambooth, Stable Diffusion, Outpainting, Inpainting, Upscaling, preparing for print with Photoshop, and finally printing on fine-art paper with an Epson…
I procrastinated a deep dive into transformers for a few years. Finally the discomfort of not knowing what makes them tick grew too great for me. Here is that dive.
Including OpenAI’s other text generating AI!
Here we go again. I started another company. The money is in the bank.
The history of technology suggests that the greatest risks come not from the tech, but from the people who control it
LLMs have become privately-controlled research infrastructure
When integrating LLMs in your products, you often want to generate structured data, like JSONs. With the help of function calling (released June 13th 2023), this process has become much simpler! In this post I will explore the new API. Thanks for reading Simon’s Substack! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and…
making new string and list classes that call gpt3 under the hood so you can access elements beyond the final one. no more index errors!
Your phone's ability to identify any song it listens to is pure technological magic. In this article, I'll show you how one of the most popular apps, Shazam , does it. The founders of Shazam released a paper in 2003 documenting how it works, and I have been working on an implementation of that paper, abracadabra .
and just like that - poof! - we scammed you into thinking this shit was cool // S1E3
Made in Notion, the connected workspace where AI agents and teams organize docs, projects and knowledge together.
Accessing Wolfram|Alpha's computational knowledge with ChatGPT--an ideal combination of precise computation with human-like expression of ideas. Stephen Wolfram explains how.
While training small neural networks to perform binary addition, a surprising solution emerged that allows the network to solve the problem very effectively. This post explores the mechanism behind that solution and how it relates to analog electronics.
AI has lost a giant
Disclaimer: This article is not meant to provoke anxiety or exaggerate the power of GPT. It is merely my personal observation after using ChatGPT/GPT-
ChatGPT lies to people. This is a serious bug that has so far resisted all attempts at a fix. We need to prioritize helping people understand this, not debating the …
