What about using @livebookdev to spawn 64 machines with GPU on @flydotio, each machine fine-tuning BERT with different hyperparameters and graphing in realtime in 2-3 minutes? @cigrainger shows how at @ElixirConf!

@pjdgallagher The insane part is that we like it that way

[Christopher Grainger (@cigrainger.bsky.social) @cigrainger]

I see folks minimising the value of OTP and websockets with Phoenix and LiveView. Lots of 'oh cool but it's only good for chat or social media'. A quick 🧵. #myelixirstatus

My #ElixirConfEU keynote is up! I'm hoping it helps folks gain the confidence to put Nx into production. Machine learning in Elixir is production ready _today_. #myelixirstatus

[ElixirConf Europe @ElixirConfEU]

What a great start to the day with our first keynote ‘Ship it! A roadmap for putting Nx into production’ with @cigrainger, Founder and CTO at @amplifiedai! 💡🙌 #ElixirConfEU #myelixirstatus #Elixir

@jjen_abel This pretty accurately captures our experience. Wish it hadn’t taken years to learn all of these lessons. AI is hot now so it may help start a conversation, but it can also make it harder to close.

[Sam Davis @Sam_S_Davis]

@yanarchy The Empty Mirror: Experiences in a Japanese Zen Monastery gives some interesting perspectives. I think you’d enjoy it.

[José Valim @josevalim]

Fantastic keynote from Chris Grainger about one year with Machine Learning in Elixir at CodeBEAM EU.

With LiveView and Nx, they went from three teams (front, backend, data) to a single Elixir team, which is extremely valuable for startups (which need to move fast!)

@sean_moriarity 💯😂

[Sam Davis @Sam_S_Davis]

@levie Yeah it’s spooky. We do this with patents. You can summarize a US patent in Thai. Or a Japanese one in Spanish. Huge for democratizing knowledge and scientific progress.

[Sam Davis @Sam_S_Davis]

@patentguys @amplifiedai Was my pleasure 😇. Thanks for the shout out!

[Sam Davis @Sam_S_Davis]

@pjdgallagher @martin_casado 💯. It’s not the same as category creation which took me a while to fully appreciate. And it takes so long.

Not even 2 years ago we were struggling to get autograd right so we could train MNIST, and now we have transformers in Elixir!

In 2023 my goal is to be able to share success stories of Nx, Axon, and Bumblebee in production at scale! And hopefully I can share one pretty soon ;)

[Sam Davis @Sam_S_Davis]

@nathanbenaich Is that directed at OpenAI or the people using GPT-3?

[Sam Davis @Sam_S_Davis]

@e_patent I used to hear it all the time! But not recently. Reading that phrase made me experience brief time travel 😅

[Amplified Japan @amplifiedai_jp]

先日日経新聞にも出ましたが、AmplifiedはWIPOの発明者支援プログラムの正式スポンサーに採択されました！

ここまでAmplifiedの高精度と使いやすさが認められ、AIで実際に大きな社会貢献もできることがとても嬉しいです。皆さんの今までのご支援に心から感謝しています！

I asked #Galactica about some things I know about and I'm troubled. In all cases, it was wrong or biased but sounded right and authoritative. I think it's dangerous. Here are a few of my experiments and my analysis of my concerns. (1/9)
