Wow storage for the new @OpenAI Assistants API is eye-wateringly expensive! :O

Be careful of what you upload, or your wallet might get a nasty surprise...

This is huge: Llama-v2 is open source, with a license that authorizes commercial use!

This is going to change the landscape of the LLM market.
Llama-v2 is available on Microsoft Azure and will be available on AWS, Hugging Face and other providers

Pretrained and fine-tuned models are available with 7B, 13B and 70B parameters.

Llama-2 website: https://t.co/PKrrXgHdem
Llama-2 paper: https://t.co/aINNrXNhMb

A number of personalities from industry and academia have endorsed our open source approach: https://t.co/N7HwgW9Suh

I am pleased to be able to help PM Modi as he is a man whose time has come when India’s time has also come. He and India are in an analogous position to Deng Xiaoping and China in the early 1980s--i.e., at the brink of the fastest growth rates and biggest transformations in the world. Additionally, the challenges both between and within China and the US are putting PM Modi in a unique position to influence the complexion of the world order via influencing the non-aligned world 's dealings with these two leading world powers. I believe that Modi has what it takes to have the greatest impact on the largest number of people in the world at a time that the risks of harmful impact are greater than at any time in our lifetimes.

A survey of LLMs with a practical guide and evolutionary tree.

Number of LLMs from Meta = 7
Number of open source LLMs from Meta = 7

The architecture nomenclature for LLMs is somewhat confusing and unfortunate.
What's called "encoder only" actually has an encoder and a decoder (just not an auto-regressive decoder).
What's called "encoder-decoder" really means "encoder with auto-regressive decoder"
What's called "decoder only" really means "auto-regressive encoder-decoder"

Volvo! 👏🏻 for not fucking around or mincing words. And massively beating their own target by 4 years. Kudos 👊🏻

🧵 Budget next month! Big chance to double down on our biggest economic opportunity… decarbonisation.

It isn’t an “environment portfolio” issue. It is an all of economy issue 🇳🇿🌏

@joshfrydenberg, if decarbonisation wasn’t just a mention, it could look something like this 👇🏻

I had the privilege to be on a zoom call with Francis Collins (Outgoing NIH director) today. I asked him why NIH didn’t give full backing to open non-profit publishing. He replied this would likely lead to NIH funding cuts due to commercial journals’ lobbying power in US govt.

Preprint with @bendfulcher on an empirical comparison of software toolkits across many languages for extracting time-series features is now up! This work has also been accepted into the SFE-TSDM IEEE Conference in December 🥳 https://t.co/xxfK6thGoz

[Hugging Face @huggingface]

Excited to have the first model based on Fast Fourier Transformation in🤗Transformers🔥

Outstanding work of reproducing the results and making the model available to the community @gchhablani_ !
