Wow did not expect sales force to be behind this. It’s basically free advertising for technical people to join sales force.

  Salesforce has long been involved in publishing quality NLP papers, especially during Stephen Merity's tenure. Smerity's papers are some of my favourite. Check out https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/1708.02182 https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/1708.02182 And my all-time favourite https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/1911.11423 https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/1911.11423

    Hey thanks for those Smerity links, hadn't run across his work yet, second one in particular looks great

      Glad you liked it. How could you go wrong with a paper that starts with > Language has been a thorn in humanity’s side since we evolved a complex enough audio and graphics processing unit to grunt, let alone write cryptocurrency whitepapers or opinion columns.

  Salesforce produced one of the best Llama-3(8B) finetunes, IMO: SFR-Iterative-DPO-LLaMA-3-8B-R Hopefully they do something with Llama-3.1

  I’m skeptical of the caliber of talent at Salesforce given the unusable state of their core product.

    The people building CRM software aren't also the ones doing AI research. The two have nothing to do with each other.

      The ones doing AI research would be working at more prestigious institutions.

        Why make such a ridiculous assumption?
      - hluska 2y ago
        Do you have a point or are you just insulting people out of some twisted definition of fun?

      Salesforce have been on a shopping spree for quite a few years now. They have purchased MuleSoft (an integration platform) and Slack amongst the others. Salesforce is anything but a CRM software company nowadays.
