โdonโt train your own modelโ is common ai advice. it's wrong. your token bill's the proof.
today, weโre excited to launch castform into open preview. castform is the easiest way for you to train your own model, on your own data.
open-weights models are performant and much cheaper. when trained on your task & proprietary data, they beat closed models. the thing standing between you and that was weeks of plumbing & years of ml expertise.
with castform, model training is as simple as prompt engineering. @castformai
bring your agent traces or raw corpora. castform turns it into training data, picks the right algorithmic recipes, manages gpus, and gives you an ide to watch and chat with your model as it learns.
see what you can build with castform๐
@BrettFromDJ completely agree, but its been happening for a while just with more steps, i mean just look at all the marketing and ui being noisy gradients or fluted/frosted glass, or what happened to animated movie art direction after spiderman into the spiderverse
@synthwavedd all of their AI products have been trully terrible, they want to be everything for everyone and do end up doing nothing for no one. Their antigravity product is just teribble and their models just dont work for coding
@mattparlmer you think this is the case if we get a general enough model where dollar input is lower than the value the model provides on outputs ? wouldn't that have capital chasing up the price?
@anton_d_leicht There is also a cultural problem, we do not seem to have the investment spirit or capital infrastructure that the US has. we have many political barriers to raising capital and building companies in the EU, its starting to change, hopefully in time to make a difference for AI
@DadaJudith There is a lot of movement under the surface in Europe, many people are heeding the call and taking on the challenge for building back our great Continent, hopefully this is the beginning of a Renewal! AI will be key for the future of Europe
@KeyTryer It is true that, as the facade of what they build becomes more apparently polished. We are less and less inclined to look behind the curtains, a lot of restraint and care is needed to make sure there is no rot inside
@ThePrimeagen i mean that is literally the end game for AGI, its a general use tool that can supplant any human at any task, the scary bit will be when robotics is figured out, then its game over for any political power the common person still had
