[Torsten Scholak @tscholak]

🚨 SLAM Labs presents Apriel-5B! And it lands right in the green zone 🚨
Speed ⚡ + Accuracy 📈 + Efficiency 💸
This model punches above its weight, beating bigger LLMs while training on a fraction of the compute.
Built with Fast-LLM, our in-house training stack.

I’m excited to announce that 💫StarVector has been accepted at CVPR 2025! Over a year in the making, StarVector opens a new paradigm for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) generation by harnessing multimodal LLMs to generate SVG code that aesthetically mirrors input images and text. With this milestone, we’re also releasing StarVector on Hugging Face! 🥳🚀

Congratulations to the #ICML2024 best paper award winners. Special shout out to @DjDvij on contributions to 'Stealing Part of a Production Language Model'. While DJ did not complete this work at ServiceNow, he recently joined our team as the research lead for Safety & Security.

[Catherine Martin @cathe_martin]

Super happy to be at #NeurIPS23 again! Come see our team @ServiceNowRSRCH booth.

Congratulations to all the @BigCodeProject contributors that worked tirelessly over the last 6+ months to bring the vision of releasing a responsibly developed 15B parameter Code LLM to fruition. We cannot thank you enough for the collaboration & contributions to the community.

[Nicolas Chapados @NicolasChapados]

Changing the way Generative AI can help developers write better code quicker: introducing StarCoder, a top-performing responsibly-built open-science 15B-parameter LLM for code. Amazing collaboration between @ServiceNowRSRCH , @huggingface & a TEAM of 100s of global contributors!

[Valérie Bécaert @vbecaert]

100% agree. You learned to activate your creativity and treat your ideas with scientific rigour

[Michael Black @Michael_J_Black]

PhD students, don't worry. Technologies, trends, and even whole fields come and go. A PhD makes you an expert in a field but, more importantly, teaches you how to become an expert. Once you know that you can learn anything, you can adapt to major disruptions in your field.

Today we are releasing The Stack v1.1! 🚀

We added more data, included more programming languages, and extended the list of permissive licenses used.

https://t.co/dqtSxQH2Pt

Also the first batch of opt-out requests was removed from the dataset.

[VentureBeat @VentureBeat]

As code #LLMs mature, we’re beginning to discover the challenges they must overcome, including licensing, transparency, security and control. See how #BigCode, @HuggingFace and @ServiceNow are collaborating on these issues: https://t.co/eCs0ZvR4zZ

[ServiceNow AI Research @ServiceNowRSRCH]

🪅 Congratulations to the @BigCodeProject research community on releasing 📑The Stack, a 3TB #dataset of permissively licensed code in 30 programming languages for pretraining large language models for code. #OpenScience #AI #Research #LLM #Code

We won! What? ALFRED is agent in 3D environment receiving tasks in natural langue. How? Symbolic planning + DL perception. Why? The fundamental problem is a re-taskable agent with fixed skills and ontology. Who? Xiaotian Lui, intern at @ServiceNowRSRCH , co-adviced with @cjmuise

[ServiceNow AI Research @ServiceNowRSRCH]

Popular image datasets assign a single label to samples that contain multiple objects. A solution is to relabel them. But what if the dataset is too big to relabel? Multi-label Iterated Learning (MILe) is inspired by the evolution of language.

@Val_Plante Et la piste sur Prieur fait en sorte que la rue est plus fréquentée par les cyclistes que les voitures. C’est fantastique de voir tous ces écoliers se déplacer à vélo. Une belle habitude de vie
