Many people missed that OpenAI actually open-sourced 2 models on Dev Day, and they are as interesting as the new product features!
The first is Whisper-V3, the best OSS speech recognition model out there. It shows major improvements over Whisper-V2 across dozens of languages.
Whisper remains one of my favorite foundation model papers of all time. Unlike prior works that engineer complex pipelines, Whisper is a big fat transformer that maps audio directly to text, with special "meta-language" tokens that enable elegant multi-tasking: language detection, translation, timestamp alignment, voice detection, etc. Its first author is the legendary Alec Radford @AlecRad, the guy responsible for nearly all of OAI's revolutionary papers.
I believe Whisper unlocked at least a trillion high-quality, conversational tokens from internet videos/audios for GPT-4 and beyond.
The 2nd open-sourcing is the Consistency Decoder, from the paper "Consistency Models" led by @DrYangSong. Yang was one of the OG pioneers of diffusion models. You can swap out Stable Diffusion's decoder with the Consistency Decoder checkpoint, and it would improve rendering for texts, faces, and geometric patterns out of the box.

Stimulus package ”Using data from a recent survey of 12,000 Americans conducted by Nielsen, a market-research firm, the authors found that just 42% of the money was spent. Another 27% was saved. The remaining 31% was used to repay debts”
My business partner @ericbahn was unable to raise VC money. One day he walked into Chase and secured a $250k loan.
Was just thinking: no one wrote a Techcrunch article about that. Business was usual.
But somehow we celebrate VC raises. Why is that?
@alexclarkFX Great question. Consistent winning takes an allround skillset. The Last Dance smashed the idea of ’blend in’ for success in team sport. Big, stand out stars carries the league on their shoulders. I think the ability to stay focused and keep your inner fire burning is the key.

@amplifytrading The Market is sensitive to Covid-19 because it knows what it means, but what exactly happens if Trump loses? Yes, the election matters a lot, but it’s a foggier view 💨
Looking for winning tech for Q3. Comparing #Uber & #Netflix to the #NASDAQ Key take away:
🚗 $UBER is a darling fallen out of grace. SlIghtly outperforming the NASD until lockdown ended…
📺 $NFLX is not a successful #FAANG, but enjoyed a Corona moment 📈which seems to be over.
”The proposal aims to lure thousands of home counties workers back to their London offices. Boris Johnson is concerned that city centre economies are suffering because so many are still working from home.”
Great Western Railway is proposing a new “3 days in 7” season ticket. Another ticket permits travel on any 12 days in the month: “Our research suggests commuters will travel, on average, into work 3 days a week, rather than the current 5.”
