Allen Institute's benchmark for enterprise questions ranks #DBRX by @databricks the best open source model out there. It is even more impressive to remember the model was trained on a $10M budget! huggingface.co/spaces/allenai…

DBRX: The new best open model and Databricks’ ML strategy Databricks’ new model is surpassing the performance of Mixtral and Llama 2 70B while still being in a size category that's reasonably accessible. interconnects.ai/p/databricks-d…
We’re hiring for the RAG / AG research team at Databricks. Come help make AI even better at incorporating real-time data and external tools.

Let's see if #DBRX gets a "mean tweet" from @elonmusk for beating @grok wired.com/story/dbrx-ins…
#DBRX is now the best open source model that beats many commercial ones, like GPT 3.5, and at the same time is cheaper to serve -- not a coincidence. Enterprises cannot adopt GenAI unless the scoring cost becomes reasonable and @databricks addresses that.

Interesting trend in AI: the best results are increasingly obtained by compound systems, not monolithic models. AlphaCode, ChatGPT+, Gemini are examples. In this post, we discuss why this is and emerging research on designing & optimizing such systems. bair.berkeley.edu/blog/2024/02/1…
A lot happened in Databricks SQL in 2023 -- no wonder it's one of the fastest growing data warehouse platforms. Read how we improved latency and concurrency, made it serverless, and began automatically optimizing most workloads with AI: databricks.com/blog/databrick…
We are happy to announce MLflow 2.10.0! 🚀It introduces several significant new features that are preparing the way for current & future enhanced support for #DeepLearning use cases, new features to support a broadened support for GenAI applications & more!mlflow.org/releases/2024/…

We've just released a suite of awesome features for building high-quality RAG apps on Databricks: databricks.com/blog/building-…. In talking with enterprises, we found quality was often the top concern with RAG, so we help teams monitor and improve it at all levels of the stack.
With sub 10% Q/Q growth rate, $SNOW is out of the high growth league. Y/Y growth is also declining.
As good a time to say this as any: if you’re on the AI research job market, Databricks is hiring, with the mission to democratize AI. We power amazing customer use cases and we publish. Check databricks.com/company/careers or reach out.

There is so much focus on the standard LLM benchmarks (MMLU, ARC, GSM8k etc), but for enterprises the only thing that matters is how well the AI does on the domain specific tasks. Check out a comparison between DBRX and GPT4 on these domain-specific benchmark datasets.
@DbrxMosaicAI DBRX outperforms @OpenAI GPT-4 on realistic, domain-specific benchmark datasets. For example, on a customer support summarization use-case👇👇👇 Still neck and neck but it shows that open models can be the no-brainer choice for actual enterprise applications.

During the mid 2010s, I made a supposition that most unprofitable VC backed companies were spending $.40 of every $1 raised on FB and Google ads and AWS compute. It turned out to be largely right. Unfortunately, we are back to this same cycle in AI with NVDA but I worry that…
