#2!!!!🤯

We're coming for your spot @StreamOnMax!

[Amjad Masad @amasad]

CharacterAI must have the highest growth-to-tech-twitter hype ratio ever. The site is massively scaling, and no one is talking about it.

[Character.AI @character_ai]

Have you ever spent hours chatting with your favorite character? 😍 Well, it turns out you're not alone! Today, users spend an average of two hours talking to their characters, and with our new C1.2 update, characters are more helpful than ever before! 🤖💬https://t.co/bwi8aAGG2I

[Daniel De Freitas @dan_defr]

So proud of how far our site https://t.co/etl5jLnXL1 has come since its debut a little over 3 months ago - multiple mind blowing AI Characters reaching more than 2 million interactions, and the cover of the New York Times Science section https://t.co/JXFgTV8ti3

"People will keep spending more and more money to train smarter and smarter systems. We are nowhere near the end of that trend.” Meet Character AI, a site where chat bots mimic everyone from Queen Elizabeth to Elon Musk: https://t.co/qMtydIKAGG

[Character.AI @character_ai]

We're back up and running.

Thanks for your patience while we were in maintenance due to increased usage.

We scaled the Transformer model with Sparsely-Gated Mixture-of-Experts using GShard, and trained a 600B multilingual translation model in about 4 days (for 100 languages) achieving 13.5 BLEU gain compared to the baseline.

[Daniel De Freitas @dan_defr]

Is it possible to build a chatbot that can have multi-turn conversations about anything? If you're interested in hearing a bit more about Meena, our open-domain neural conversational model, I have a presentation at #l3ai this Thursday June 18th (https://t.co/pQwmdwu1mm).
