!! @pabbeel and I are building a new AI research lab in SF for Amazon! We’re focused on the remaining major problems to build generally intelligent agents and are looking for a few dozen intrinsically motivated people to join our team and work with the Adept folks here. DM me!

@rishimody @neuecast @MKBHD Nice!

[Basil @basil]

@Mappletons @normallystudio Ohhhh yes ☄️

[Basil @basil]

@Mappletons But you can!!

[Basil @basil]

@rsms @zenona An absolute classic piece of design experimentation ❤️

[Basil @basil]

@rsms @zenona @mgalavai @miekd It’s cards you buy (or you make your own). A painful but killer business strategy. And we 99% use it for stories and not for music!

@gstsdn @kevinakwok Kevin, please!! Also, it is the official mascot, just not the blog post image. Thank you very much

Introducing our new multimodal model Adept FUYU-HEAVY!!

Beats Gemini Pro on both MMLU (text-only benchmark) and MMMU (image+text benchmark)

Plus cute mascots!

✨ come join me! ✨

We're looking for a product designer to join our team focused on making an AI teammate @AdeptAILabs, on-site in SF.

It's a super lovely, amazingly talented, ridiculously humble group, with so much room for impact ❤️

[Amelia Wattenberger 🪷 @Wattenberger]

I'm so excited to share what's up next for me

I'll be designing a digital AI teammate with the super talented people at @AdeptAILabs!

I'm just a week in and couldn't be more excited about the both wildly creative and technically rigorous team.

Definitely watch this space 🤩✨

[LondonAI @londonai]

Big round a few days after @basil’s LondonAI talk 😉

@rsms Yep. Sounds like there isn’t a perfect solution… You can also “customise” the software by defining some principles about how the team uses it – threads vs not, what’s DM vs public, that kind of thing.

[Basil @basil]

@rsms Where did you settle?

[Basil @basil]

I'm very excited to have joined @AdeptAILabs! We're building a universal collaborator – it's like an overlay that sits on top of all the software you use. You can hand off tasks to it by just... asking. Below is an early preview of some things it can do!

[Basil @basil]

Finished my final week at @normallystudio, after 7 amazing years. Normally works by combining radical experimentation with… just being kind. This culture leads to impactful and meaningful projects. If you get the chance to work with them, or just meet with them: you should ❤️

I tried my own question using nonsense words – the voodoo incantation worked (without needing the second "and so the answer is..." prompt) @shaneguML @arankomatsuzaki

[Basil @basil]

This is brilliant. The model just needs to be asked nicely to do a good job.

[Aran Komatsuzaki @arankomatsuzaki]

Large Language Models are Zero-Shot Reasoners

Simply adding “Let’s think step by step” before each answer increases the accuracy on MultiArith from 17.7% to 78.7% and GSM8K from 10.4% to 40.7% with GPT-3.

@genmon Walkabout Mini Golf. Playing this remotely with a friend, making fun of each other’s misses, ducking our heads out of the guardian to find our beers in between shots, was what convinced me that hanging out in VR will be a thing.
