Why is it a bombshell? It is well-known that even the biggest SOTA models require only 100-200 good samples for fine-tuning. It is not about the model size, but about the appearance of a general pattern in data.

But why would you go a WITCH company if skill was paramount and you were ready to pay above market rate? You may come into a McDonalds and ask for the best coffee they have and be able to pay above market rate, but they wouldn't be abl

Glad to see no AGI hubris in this presentation, but we also haven’t see anything groundbreaking: their own version of GUI plugins, their own version of a workflow builder, and an aspiration to take cut of every transaction on the web. I hop

It’s sad that many people need to spend years on liberal arts education to learn to learn independently. Where has our society failed that 11 years of schooling and upbringing can’t provide that?
