Super excited to continue working on AI4Code with all the awesome folk @carperai! So many brilliant ideas and directions to pursue!

The price of knowing is a question.

@lexfridman What advice does the cursor team have to future tech founders?

Over the past year, Stability AI has grown rapidly, dedicated to our goal of building the foundation to activate humanity's potential.

Here are some of the milestones and accomplishments we've had over the past year ↓

[Erfan Al-Hossami @ealhossa]

- LLMs were worse at causal discovery (discovery of what actions cause what outcome) compared to children.

3/n

[Erfan Al-Hossami @ealhossa]

My main takeaways from the keynote by Alison Gopnik at #ACL2023.

Main point: LLMs are cultural technologies. LLMs are tools that transmit culture/info just like the printed press.

- LLMs are not about modeling/generating "the truth" but rather imitating human behavior.

1/n

[Erfan Al-Hossami @ealhossa]

- Needing to do RLHF indicates that we may not know what cognitively is going on with LLMs.
- Cog Science debunks general intelligence. Is a 5-year-old smarter than a 4-year-old?

@ncooper57 Congratulations Dr. Cooper!! 🎉🎉 It has been a long (but worthwhile) journey :'). Don't forget to celebrate your accomplishments!

Announcing StableLM❗

We’re releasing the first of our large language models, starting with 3B and 7B param models, with 15-65B to follow. Our LLMs are released under CC BY-SA license.

We’re also releasing RLHF-tuned models for research use. Read more→ https://t.co/R66Wa4gbnW

.@carperai just passed a major milestone a few days ago, its now a whole year old. I thought we could take this time to recap the achievements we've accomplished over the last year as well as discuss potential directions. of the lab. A thread 🧵1/N

@ncooper57 @NathanThinks @StabilityAI @carperai @CodeDotAI I'm dead 😂😂

[Erfan Al-Hossami @ealhossa]

@ncooper57 @StabilityAI @carperai @CodeDotAI 🚀🚀🚀!!!!! Let's change the world together one "Compile and Run" at a time 🤓

@ncooper57 @beeonaposy @PhungVanDuy1 @reshinth_ FACTS🤣

[Erfan Al-Hossami @ealhossa]

@ncooper57 @langchain @code SWEET! I'mma fork -- we can do so much with this LOL

[Nathan Cooper @ncooper57]

Anyone know how to converting TikToken to Huggingface Tokenizer?

[Erfan Al-Hossami @ealhossa]

@ncooper57 It was used in CodeBERT: https://t.co/KkWB4uDAwm I thought it was really intuitive perhaps we can revisit it :')

[Thomas Wolf @Thom_Wolf]

Ok friends, it's weekend, we've some time for us. So let me tell you about a possible future for AI where the largest AI spendings, in billions of dollars, in 2-3 years would be on...

... antitrust legal fees

@ncooper57 @reshinth_ @PhungVanDuy1 TRUEEEE!!! 😂😂😂🤣
