This is indeed sad to see another platform turn against its users. This was once a place to nurture young artists... it's now another ad driven platform full of AI made scams.

Definitely too much hype around large models right now. This over shadows the more useful specialized models.

Open is unsurprisingly only in the name... this company is really just a cult.

The training dataset crisis is looming in the case of large language models. They'll sooner or later run out of genuine content to use... and the generated toxic waste will end up in training data, probably leading to dismal results.

Interesting how much extra performance you can shave off the GPU by going back to how the hardware works.

Interesting questions and state of the art around model "unlearning". This became important due to the opacity of data sets used to train some models. It'll also be important in any case for managing models over time.

Nice article. It's a good reminder that the benchmarks used to evaluate generative AI systems have many caveats.

Interesting take on why people see more in LLM based systems than there really is. The parallels with psychics and mentalists tricks are well thought out.

This is how it should be done. This one comes with everything needed to reproduce the results. This is necessary to gain insights into how such models work internally.

Wondering how one can design a coding assistant? Here is an in depth explanation of the choices made by one of the solutions out there. There's quite some processing before and after actually running the inference with the LLM.

All the good reasons why productivity increases with code assistants are massively overestimated. To be used why not, but with a light touch.

AI supercharged scam. I guess we'll see more of those.

You should be mindful of the dependencies you add. Even more so when the name of the dependency has been proposed by a coding assistant.

Excellent work to improve Llama execution speed on CPU. It probably has all the tricks of the trade to accelerate this compute kernel.

Smaller models with smarter architectures and low-bit quantized models are two venues for more efficient use. I'm really curious how far they'll go. This article focuses on low-bit quantized models and the prospects are interesting.

Wondering where some of the biases of AI models generating images come from? This is an excellent deep dive into one of the most successful data sets used to train said models. And they've been curated by... statistical models not humans. This unsurprisingly amplifies biases all the way to the final models.

This is an excellent piece, I highly recommend reading it.

Definitely this. It might ultimately impact the abstraction levels accessible to us for coding... but the skills will still be needed. Natural language is too ambiguous for the task.

Friendly reminder that the neural networks we use are very much artificial. They're also far from working like biological ones do.

This is one of the main problems with using those generative models as currently provided. It's time for the legislators to step up, we can't let a couple of players hoard energy and water for themselves.

Might be an interesting trick to reduce the computation and energy costs of large language models. Let's see if it gets replicated and generalized, this is a single short paper not peer reviewed anywhere as far as I can tell.
