Interesting new model from Meta (open source). As I've said before, LLMs are really LXMs, where X is any kind of data (here, images, audio, text)- gives a glimpse of what's coming.. https://t.co/agizzGi7Db

Potentially impactful paper using chain-of-thought reasoning to train smaller models (outperforming LLMs with models that are 2000x smaller). https://t.co/m9lofwPPil

Nice new multimodal work from AI2, and it is open source. https://t.co/TabsiV4XfS

Text generation in images has been a challenge for AI models. DeepFloyd IF, a new model by Stability AI l, released today, seems to significantly improve the state of the art. And it will be released as open source. https://t.co/lGE0vyqw9B

As GenAI adoption grows, so will cyber risks. Proud of my org (and the Dataminr team) for our recent Cyber product launch. Building this at scale effectively requires lots of Deep Learning (LLMs++), domain expertise, lots of data,…https://t.co/1PjUF6Hrfe https://t.co/dh7fki1mNm

My friend Foster Provost is performing next week at The Bitter End. I created the video for the single "Remember Me" (video release next week, sneak preview on Spotify). And guess what? I didn't use AI (unless consider DaVinci Resolve an AI tool) :) I'll…https://t.co/YRakaxY5CW

@JournalistJill Had a similar experience w my son when he was younger. One day he actually lost his stuffed animal. We told him it had gone on vacation. Years later he saw a picture of himself with it and said “oh that’s the doggy I lost and you told me it had gone on vacation”.

Drago was a friend, and a great colleague- we worked together at Columbia and many years later at Yahoo (where we published our last paper together). We stayed in touch over the years. I saw Drago recently- as always, he was full of life & ideas; optimist…https://t.co/OewmJ2Pk96
