New repo coming soon, heterogenous inference between Apple and Nvidia (including Spark) across tailscale.

Kimi-k3 requires new strides be made.

Single command, tailscale megacomputer running 1 model.

The DiLoCo team at Google DeepMind and Google Research is proud to release Decoupled DiLoCo, the next frontier for resilient AI pre-training.

Decoupled DiLoCo enables training with datacenters across the world, using heterogeneous hardware, and never halting the system despite hardware failures.

I’ve wanted to do this for a decade.

But I never did - I refuse to give any company my DNA.

It is me.

So this week I sequenced my genome entirely at home. Literally on my kitchen table.

I never exposed my DNA sequence to the internet. Not at any point.

I used a MinION to do the sequencing (it’s smaller + weighs less than an iPhone).

I used open-source DNA models for the analysis (Evo2 and AlphaGenome) running locally on a DGX Spark and Mac Studio.

I traced mechanisms behind my family’s multigenerational autoimmune conditions that no clinician has been able to understand.

When I set out to do this I didn’t know if it would actually work. It does.

Your genome is the most private data you will ever have. You probably shouldn’t let it leave your house.

Training distributed DiLoCo / SparseLoCo over eduroam wifi, awesome!

@alexocheema So well written Alex, onwards

We must do whatever it takes to put the most powerful tool ever invented in the hands of every human.

When I was 17, I was sued by one of the biggest companies in the world for distributing software they didn't like.

I did it anyway.

They will try to stop us. They will put pressure on us. They will push seemingly convincing narratives.

Centralised AI is the end of open innovation. No longer will some kids in a basement be able to build something valuable for the world - innovation will be controlled by the ones who own AI. The power imbalance will be irreversible.

We must accelerate Open-Source AI.

Very excited to introduce Khatam (eprint 2024/1843): a new Proximity Gaps result for Multilinear Polynomial Commitment Schemes. Not only does it reduce the size of Basefold (including over Random Foldable Codes), but it also improves Blaze, WHIR, Ligero, and others. 🧵(1/x)

"Exo's use of Llama 405B and consumer-grade devices to run inference at scale on the edge shows that the future of AI is open source and decentralized." - @mo_baioumy https://t.co/MFejDKgHIU

3/ Today, we're delighted to introduce Speakeasy.

Speakeasy is a powerful new way to privately find and message your undiscovered peers.

What does that mean, and why does it matter?
