Congratulations to the Featherless AI team on their $20M Series A. I’m impressed at the infra they are building to make AI accessible and for walking the talk - working with open source builders and researchers for under-resourced languages !

[Featherless AI @FeatherlessAI]

Today we're announcing our $20 M Series A, co-led by @AMDVentures and @AirbusVentures, with @BMWiVentures, @Kickstartph, @PanacheVC, and @Wavemaker_VC.
We're building the neutral layer for open models — so the future doesn't run on a few labs, a few chips, or a few clouds.
THE FUTURE CAN’T BE BLOCKED.
Any Model. Anywhere. Anyone. Yours.

There are still some spots in the room, but they are running low fast!

It’s been ages since I shipped code myself—I felt like a COBOL dev lost in the React age. Then vibe coding hit, and I had to try it firsthand. Welcome to ImageBattle ⚔️

Our November Papers of the Month is now live.

This edition covers 4 papers, on "super weights", context-parallelism, scaling laws for precision and critical batch sizes. We provide our summaries and analysis of each. (🧵1/n)

1/ Can AI scaling continue through 2030?

We examine whether constraints on power, chip manufacturing, training data, or data center latencies might hinder AI growth. Our analysis suggests that AI scaling can likely continue its current trend through 2030.

Excited for the next part of this journey!

[Graphcore @graphcoreai]

Exciting news: Graphcore joins @SoftBank_Group to build next generation of AI compute. https://t.co/DcEMoa1xSh

[Vipul Vaibhaw @vaibhaw_vipul]

Andrej Karpathy talking about -
- rarity of talents in distributed computing with GPUs.
- the opportunities in computer architecture because von Neumann architecture may not be optimal
- progress in precision
- sparsity in neural networks

[Graphcore Research @GCResearchTeam]

The recording of our talk at @letsunifyai's reading group is now available: https://t.co/8XSpilGc08

Thanks to Unify for having us. It was an excellent session with some great discussion

[Tim @internetoftim]

Best Innovation in NLP for @graphcoreai & @pienso_ml for enabling low/nocode interactive AI and handling low-latency finetuning and inference in production! Kudos to the teams in both companies across the entire tech stack that made this possible! @CogX_Festival #CogXFestival23

[Tim @internetoftim]

⁃There’s excitement in the ability of AI to introduce efficiencies and aid in the production process.
⁃There’s concern on lack of governance but also in governance stepping in and hampering advancement.

Attended an interesting panel on Industry Transformation in the Creative Industries, panellist are coming from music, digital media, and architecture. Some key insights I found interesting are as follows:
🧵 1/N

[Tim @internetoftim]

-The upside in GenAI is to democratise the creative tools and production of creative output, this could mean volume of low-quality output (e.g. a landfill of digital image), but it elevated the art form in general. Let’s not underestimate the audience’s ability to appreciate.
