The multimodal capabilities especially on next action prediction are quite impressive; watching the github to see if & when they'll open source this: https://github.com/microsoft/Magma https://github.com/microsoft/Magma
Also, I wonder why they named it Magma?
- lanternfish 2y ago`M(ultimodal) Ag(ent) [ma]` maybe
- jwyang 2y agoGood catch! A minor correction: Magma - M(ultimodal) Ag(entic) M(odel) at M(icrosoft) (Rese)A(rch), the last part is similar to how the name Llama came out, :)
- throw310822 2y agoHow many 'M's in "Magma"? ;)
- gostsamo 2y agoI know that AWS have an AI product for foundational models called Bedrock so MS might've decided to go even deeper.

- Lockal 2y agoA bit sad that they reused name of https://icl.utk.edu/magma/ https://icl.utk.edu/magma/ (Matrix Algebra on GPU and Multi-core Architectures). This library is already heavily used in machine learning, for example, it is included in every pytorch-based project.
