Canada has some of the most land, coastline, oil, lithium, uranium and potash in the world and 154 million acres of farmland
it should be the richest country in the world. but its economy failed to grow in the last 10 years 🤷♂️

🚀 With Meta's recent paper replacing tokenization in LLMs with patches 🩹, I figured that it's a great time to revisit how tokenization has evolved over the years using everyone's favourite medium - memes!
Let's take a trip down memory lane!

Announcing new open-source Python package: aisuite!
This makes it easy for developers to use large language models from multiple providers. When building applications I found it a hassle to integrate with multiple providers. Aisuite lets you pick a "provider:model" just by changing one string, like openai:gpt-4o, anthropic:claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022, ollama:llama3.1:8b, etc.
pip install aisuite

Thanks to Rohit Prsad, Kevin Solorio, @standsleeping, Jeff Tang and @Johnsanterre for helping build this!
I made a real-world AI hedge fund team.
It has 4 agents:
1 • market data agent
2 • quant agent
3 • risk manager agent
4 • portfolio manager agent
You can run all of my code below.
No prior coding experience is required.
The agents work sequentially, passing messages to the next agent.
1 • Market Data Agent gathers market data and calculates technical signals.
2 • Quant Agent takes market data and generates a buy, sell, or hold signal.
3 • Risk Management Agent takes trading signal and generates a risk signal.
4 • Portfolio Management Agent considers all signals and makes a final trading decision.
Somebody uses an AI Bot to AUTOMATICALLY apply to 1000 JOBS in 24h and get 50 INTERVIEWS! 🤯
The code is available in GitHub and it got a massive 12.7K Stars 🌟
It automates your LinkedIn job search and application process.
- Scans for openings matching your criteria,
- Applies to jobs using LinkedIn's "Easy Apply," and
- Generates tailored resumes.
- It uses an LLM to personalize responses for employer questions.
- Can handle bulk applications while maintaining quality control.
- Securely manages your data and integrates with OpenAI's API for AI-driven features.
- LLM model selection (OpenAI, Ollama, Claude, Gemini)
Need inspiration on how to use AI for work?
Here are 185 real world use cases for generative AI as showcased by industry leaders at Google Cloud Next '24.
The list highlights how organizations are leveraging Google's AI solutions to enhance processes, efficiencies, and innovations across different sectors.
Okay it happened! Snapchat Spectacles AR glasses.
Fully standalone. 46 degree field of view. 37 pixels per degree. That’s roughly like a 100” TV screen! 2x snapdragon chips. 45 minutes of battery. Auto transitioning lenses.
Designed for co-presence. Spectator mode and more.
Gotta hand it to Snap for pushing on this extremely hard engineering challenge, despite the rest of their peers going VR first as a stepping stone to this ultimate vision.
Everyone talks about legendary writers like:
Hemingway, Stephen King, or Henry David Thoreau.
But there is a British author who redefined the game forever.
Here’s the secret technique J. K. Rowling used to write one of the best-selling book series of all time:
Why Meta & Google may win Consumer AI, before ChatGPT does! A 🧵
1/ ChatGPT burst onto the scene as the killer AI app, setting off alarm bells across the tech world. But while its run has been impressive, usage metrics suggest that Meta/Google/Tiktok have much better engagement
It seems unintuitive that a small 25 basis point interest rate hike in Japan would spike all risk assets, including tonight's -20% $ETH candle.
But you need to understand the way the carry trade works:
It's a leveraged unwinding.
Epic poetry was the preferred way of telling a riveting story long before movies or novels. Extraordinary tales were passed on in the form of meter and rhyme.
Here are history's greatest epic poems🧵
A suggestion for an effective 11-step LLM summer study plan:
1) Read* Chapters 1 and 2 on implementing the data loading pipeline (https://t.co/CwvRu6MRdV & https://t.co/NGT1VM4P1R).
2) Watch Karpathy's video on training a BPE tokenizer from scratch (https://t.co/UCSJQCxMxn).
3) Read Chapters 3 and 4 on implementing the model architecture.
4) Watch Karpathy's video on pretraining the LLM.
5) Read Chapter 5 on pretraining the LLM and then loading pretrained weights.
6) Read Appendix E on adding additional bells and whistles to the training loop.
7) Read Chapters 6 and 7 on finetuning the LLM.
8) Read Appendix E on parameter-efficient finetuning with LoRA.
9) Check out Karpathy's repo on coding the LLM in C code (https://t.co/76OPO9yNla).
10) Check out LitGPT to see how multi-GPU training is implemented and how different LLM architectures compare (https://t.co/vNv7NP6gt4).
11) Build something cool and share it with the world.
(Read = read, run the code, and attempt the exercises 😊)
Today, AlphaFold 3 came to life.
