It’s exactly 10 years since my first day at Google. What I’ve learnt:

1. In 2011 there was a career path for me, but I had to leave Chile to find it.

I compared all these models with @yupp_ai. Find the full responses on https://t.co/GzAEqgU3GA <-

My new hobby: Figuring out the best LLM to make charts and drawings with SVG.

In this case I asked the LLMs to "draw an svg chart of the top 10 major cities in North America by perfect days, include a happy sun", and you can see here the results.

7 out of 10 LLMs got this simple geographic question wrong. Can we trust AI with even basic questions?

The question and the correct answer: https://t.co/2VAHBbtQ5p

The shocking part: Google @GeminiApp, @MistralAI, @OpenAI o3... all got it wrong.

Trust - but verify.

For proof, here's me asking 10 LLMs through @yupp_ai: https://t.co/mK5SZy2D3Q - they make it really easy to do your own evals.

How is data made? On Saturday I boarded a 7am bus to Reno to figure it out.

From algorithms to door-knocking, this weekend changed how I see campaign data - and made me a better data professional too.

Here's what I learned: https://t.co/Rn2biMa9MS 🇺🇸

@felipehoffa @cbergman so great to see you at the @awscloud GenAI Loft today!

I’m ready to announce my newest “label”. I recently reflected on how I’m taking some time-out to figure out who “Felipe” is, leaving behind the “from @SnowflakeDB" and “from @Google” labels. Well, I went yesterday to a life changing interview, and... https://t.co/wBfRXrXDY5 🇺🇸

If I lived anywhere else in the world, I'd visit San Francisco. There's so many opportunities to learn, discover, and meet others in the tech world. And I even won the 3rd place at an @awscloud AI hackathon!

@benthompson Hard agree, but speaking of embracing change, I'd rather read you on @Meta Threads instead.

Felipe! Thank you for everything! Your work at Snowflake was outstanding. I'm excited to see what you take on next!

[Felipe Hoffa @felipehoffa]

All good things must come to an end: After 3.9 years at @SnowflakeDB, it’s time for me to say goodbye and thanks:

@kurtschwehr @GlobalFishWatch Thank you Kurt! It would be cool to collaborate on that kind of project again :)

[Felipe Hoffa @felipehoffa]

@PetrSimecek Yeah, I'm sure other people are leaving too. But I'll let them tell their story.
