Microsoft just dropped OmniParser V2, a screenshot parser for web automation!

You can now turn any LLM of your choice, DeepSeek R1, GPT-4o/o1, or Qwen 2.5VL, into a Computer Use Agent.

This is 60% faster than V1

100% Open Source.

New 3h31m video on YouTube:
"Deep Dive into LLMs like ChatGPT"

This is a general audience deep dive into the Large Language Model (LLM) AI technology that powers ChatGPT and related products. It is covers the full training stack of how the models are developed, along with mental models of how to think about their "psychology", and how to get the best use them in practical applications.

We cover all the major stages:
1. pretraining: data, tokenization, Transformer neural network I/O and internals, inference, GPT-2 training example, Llama 3.1 base inference examples
2. supervised finetuning: conversations data, "LLM Psychology": hallucinations, tool use, knowledge/working memory, knowledge of self, models need tokens to think, spelling, jagged intelligence
3. reinforcement learning: practice makes perfect, DeepSeek-R1, AlphaGo, RLHF.

I designed this video for the "general audience" track of my videos, which I believe are accessible to most people, even without technical background. It should give you an intuitive understanding of the full training pipeline of LLMs like ChatGPT, with many examples along the way, and maybe some ways of thinking around current capabilities, where we are, and what's coming.

(Also, I have one "Intro to LLMs" video already from ~year ago, but that is just a re-recording of a random talk, so I wanted to loop around and do a lot more comprehensive version of this topic. They can still be combined, as the talk goes a lot deeper into other topics, e.g. LLM OS and LLM Security)

Hope it's fun & useful!

Impressive AI agent workflow, will be fun to try out…

[Min Choi @minchoi]

This is wild.

Anthropic just dropped Computer Use and Claude 3.5 Sonnet & Haiku

And it will completely change the AI agent game.

6 wild examples:

1. Computer Use for Coding
