Can you please just do plain-old transcription with speaker diarization? That's the most important starting point for me. [edit: The summaries are usually bad and I always want to refer back to what was specifically said through LLM Q+

Question: If I want to inference with the largest DeepSeek R1 models, what are my different paid API options? And, if I want to fine-tune / RL the largest DeepSeek R1 models, how can I do that?

Aside: I agree there is not enough mentorship, and I think a network/app for this would be amazing. It would be great if: a) it used LLMs to do partial AI match making b) it had a relatively decent solution to avoiding mentors getting

People keep saying stuff like this, but I don't believe it: "There is no technical moat in this field, and so OpenAI is the epicenter of an investment bubble." AI progress is driven by strong valuable data. Detailed important

There is a lot of published research work in ML that had huge impact without explicitly touching linear algebra. Given that is the case, to answer your question: yes, linear algebra is the foundation of ML. No, a lot of impactful day-to-d

Kill two birds with one stone: 1) Add functionality to auto-setup digital meetups and invite people within 200mi or something. 2) Let people meet in groups digitally, and maybe that spurs them to meet in person.

This is great. I would actually perhaps think the next step would be to add some sugar that allows you to run a random / fixed grid of hyper-parameters and get a report of accuracy and speed for your specific data set.
