The beauty of SPEED
Prabhakar Raghavan is a painful example of what happens when you allow the tech industry to be run by managers and management consultants who don't use the things that make them rich. He's responsible for killing search, and I want you to know his name. wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-ki…

Llama 3!! 🦙🎉 I put together a quick video going through the release notes, how performance is reported and the plans for a 400B+ model, and then diving into a demo showing how to build a RAG system with Llama 3 and DSPy, and then most excitingly 🥁, Using DSPy's MIPRO…
Excited to share a preview of Llama3, including the release of an 8B and 70B (82 MMLU, should be the best open weights model!), and preliminary results for a 405B model (still training, but already competitive with GPT4). Lots more still to come... ai.meta.com/blog/meta-llam…

Most adults are actually babies in disguise. This means that most of the people we work with are babies. It is important to understand this idea and then decide if you want to work in companies that tend to prefer fully formed adults instead of babies: youtu.be/w6dQnCLevbY

What sort of compute resources would be required to train SAEs on every layer of Llama-3-8B (or similar)? Roughly how many tokens would you need to train on? Are any groups (academic or otherwise) already doing this and planning to open source?

🔥Congratulations to @ugustintoma et al (@BoWang87 Lab) for winning the 1st place in *every* sub-task of the 2024 MEDIQA Clinical NLP competitions. They build & optimize extremely high-quality LM programs in DSPy, outperforming the next best participating system by up to 18 pt!
(2/3) The first challenge is about using AI to detect and then correct medical errors. We've developed an innovative method to detect and correct specific medical errors in clinical notes, achieving top results in all three subtasks. 🩺🔍 Key to our success? Utilizing the DSPy…
Elon has more positive-sum output in one year than you will in your entire life. flying is the least of your concerns.

@JoshPurtell one of the fundamental faults though is that most people just do not believe that wealth creation is possible.
For those curious, it's not too hard to find it by looking at recent papers that cite DSPy.
When you randomly come across a paper that delivers 18-point improvements over the next best system (and tops *three* different leaderboards) by cleverly applying DSPy optimizers, but it's Friday afternoon so it's not a great time to publicize that sort of thing. Monday it is.
@prakhesar pls stop writing bangers you're making me read them
Most people don't know that I studied HISTORY in undergrad. A long way from reading cutting edge AI systems. If you're just getting started, stick with it. "It" being whatever interests you. Your life won't be linear. Like all the code I'm tracing to understand DSPy Agents 🤣
Custom models are a cornerstone of the "data flywheel", where user data leads to better models which lead to more users which leads to more data -- the virtuous cycle that powers the most popular ML/AI applications. Running an off-the-shelf model via an API won't do that.
Read through @darthdeus 's post on Rust gamedev loglog.games/blog/leaving-r… and I can't really argue with it. I can say that I've encountered a lot of the same issues as the primary maintainer of Ambient and in my various explorations with Bevy.
Interested in actually digging into ML papers every week? Join Josh's ML reading group!
I'm co-hosting an experienced practitioners ML reading group in Flatiron. The purpose: - Go through the collective exercise of distilling an important paper into its bare essentials + the good ideas. Good skill. - Discuss / hack on applications, experiments, hypotheses.
Excited to present our projects—Autonomous Evaluation & Refinement + Archer—at next week's CMU agents workshop! I’ll also be in Ann Arbor over the weekend catching up with friends. DM if you’re up for a chat or boba🥤!
We're having a big event on agents at CMU on May 2-3 (one week from now), all are welcome! cmu-agent-workshop.github.io It will feature: * Invited talks from @alsuhr @ysu_nlp @xinyun_chen_ @MaartenSap and @chris_j_paxton * Posters of cutting edge research * Seminars and hackathons

@norvid_studies the unreasonable effectiveness of simple prompts
Great comment from someone about #DSPy Signatures... SIgnatures aren't prompts. They're not prompt templates. They're their own thing. Going to noodle on this and come up with a better way to explain them. What do you think?
Moskovitz calling Tesla Enron. Genuinely unbelievable. This guy seems seriously mentally ill. Says people will go to jail. Disastrous that this mentally ill guy is spending billions to destroy AI. Are we in the worst timeline ever?
