Electricity use at data centers did NOT skyrocket.
In fact, despite massive growth in computation and data storage provided, total electricity use barely budged.

✨ Today we're launching AI coding features to our Pro+ subscribers located in the United States, including natural language to code generation, code completion, and an integrated chatbot. We'd love to hear from you with positive examples of AI coding in Colab: please share! 1/
🥳 We've launched support for Google children's accounts! Children under the age of 13 are now able to access Colab for learning Python programming and machine learning. 🧐
Presenting Reflected Diffusion Models w/ @StefanoErmon!
Diffusion models should reverse a SDE, but common hacks break this. We provide a fix through a general framework.

Is Elden Ring an existential risk to humanity? That is the question I consider in my new blog post. Yes, it is a comment on the superintelligence/x-risk debate. Read the full thing here:

I got really excited that the LLaMA paper calculates and reports their carbon footprint! 🦙🌬️🌎
But upon looking at the paper itself, it has this table, which completely misconstrues the emissions of OPT and BLOOM, while not actually reporting LLaMA's own.
How? A thread 🧵
We’re proud to share promising new research published in @SpringerNature’s @NatureComms journal. Along with our partners at @NIFSplasma in Japan, TAE has conducted the first-ever hydrogen-boron fusion experiments in a magnetically confined fusion plasma. https://t.co/jAweLPXAxU
For DECADES we've assumed the surface code uses 4 couplers per qubit. But change perspective a bit, and it's clear it works just as well with 3 couplers per qubit. Same distance, same # of gate layers, same footprint.
Also 23 other circuit variations: https://t.co/GeBVCaJbro
People are asking if there are alternatives to RL in RLHF. Yes, imitation with DAGGER (tutorial: https://t.co/aEMx5xDIOU ). The user provides feedback with corrections, e.g. when the agent says “that” the user tells the agent that instead of saying “that”, it should say “this”.
I'm super excited we've open sourced Vizier! Vizier is Google's scaled blackbox optimization system. It has had a huge impact internally across many products and has helped tune millions of ML models at Google! We hope this is valuable to the broader community.
