Frameworks for LLM Agents have been surprisingly disappointing. I want to offer some principles for building agents based on our own trial & error, and…
This week, I went to the tinyML Summit in Burlingame, Calif. TinyML, or running small machine learning models on constrained devices, is one of the most exciting technologies I’ve encountered. But it’s also the one most likely to put people to sleep when I talk about it. Using local computing to handle object or even…
Plus: Fiery resistance to a nuclear AI data center and A24's Google debacle. Welcome to the first episode of BLOOD IN THE MACHINE: THE SHOW, with the great AI and crypto watchdog, Molly White.
I used private and public LLMs to answer an undergraduate essay question I spent a week working on nearly 30 years ago, in an effort to see how the experience would have changed in that time. There were two rules:
A digital twin of our planet is to simulate the Earth system in future. It is intended to support policy-makers in taking appropriate measures to better prepare for extreme events. A new strategy paper by European scientists and ETH Zurich computer scientists shows how this can be achieved.
I’ve been sitting on this draft for a few days now, partly because I thought it would turn down the bitterness, and partly because I kept asking myself ...
Google Cloud will be at the cornerstone of Mayo Clinic’s digital transformation as it looks to the cloud to enhance patient and clinician experiences, improve diagnostics and patient outcomes, and expand its unparalleled clinical research.
The Highs and Lows: A Year in Review
Random tech notes
We’re adding the ability for multiple people to connect their account to one Google Home. So now with the Google Assistant you can hear your commute time, your daily bri…
Compared to Llama 2, Llama 3 feels much less censored. Meta has substantially lowered false refusal rates. Llama 3 will refuse less than 1/3 of the prompts previously refused by Llama 2.
StableLM Zephyr 3B is a new chat model representing the latest iteration in our series of lightweight LLMs, preference tuned for instruction following and Q&A-type tasks.
IBM Watson Speech to Text converts audio into accurate text, enabling real-time transcription, captions and insights with scalable AI APIs.
GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio now works with IntelliSense. v1.85 or above is needed, users may need to manually update.
Editors’ note: AI has been actively pushing the frontier of applied formal methods for computing systems. In this article, the Specula team wrote about their experience of evaluating LLMs on modeling system code, the basic capability for agentic model checking, using TLA+, a specification language f
There’s a lot of excitement right now about human-in-the-loop systems supercharged by foundation models including chat assistants ( ChatGPT ), word processing ( Microsoft Office ), graphic design ( Stable Diffusion ), and code editing ( Copilot ). However, these systems only begin to scratch the surface of the role…
We discuss Hugging Face, Open Source, and AI
The exploration of a LLM+OLAP solution is a bumpy journey, but phew, it now works well for the Tencent case, and they're writing down every lesson learned to share with you.
A Blog about Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and the algorithms that are shaping the future of Artificial Intelligence.
AMD acquires MK1, welcoming their world-class team and marking another key milestone in our strategy to advance AI performance and efficiency.
Agents are structurally well suited to monitoring production systems.
Trackmania: the world's most competitive racing game. In this post, we begin our journey towards training a neural network to superhuman performance, by chronicling the history of previous attempts.
In this post we take a look a how the mathematical idea of a convolution is used in probability. In probability a convolution is a way to add two random variables. Using a slightly ridiculous, mad-science, example we walk through multiple way to compute a convolution and ultimate arrive at the formu
