You can make small LLMs more performant than large ones like GPT-3 by fine-tuning on specific tasks or providing them tools to offload precise calculations: e.g. Toolformer: https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.04761 which uses

I think we will likely want to know the story that accompanies a painting more than ever. Aesthetics and composition alone will not make a great piece since we can no longer trust that some work was created by a human artist. We know that A

The internet has about 67% of the world's users, that leaves about 2-3bn not represented. And among those, only about 0.001% actually post and contribute content that is available on the open web, and I'm willing to bet that popul

This is actually the premise behind Anthropic's Constitutional AI ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.08073 ) where they have a set of principles that guide a workflow where the LLM creates the prompts and the critiques. T

Essentially what large language models allow us to do is move through an n-dimensional space using only words. Somehow we need Google Maps for semantic spaces, but to do that we need to have a strong definition of what a "semantic spac

Actually this is wrong, after reading the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.03027.pdf The main idea is to specify an edit direction which is a broad statement of what you want to do. The model then uses gpt-3 to genera

Unfortunately this overhyped launch has started the LLM arms race. Consumers don't seem to care in general about factuality as long as they can get an authoritative sounding answer that is somewhat accurate...at least for now

Ah man hope all is well. Layoffs are rough. PM / Dev are two sides of the same coin. One decides what to build, and the other decides how to build it. So instead of picking a role right off the bat, you should pick an industry and go d

OpenAI is working on a watermark for their models (if not already there) that would recognize content as AI generated. If its good enough, it should be able to filter out AI content when training new models https://techcrunch.com

Awesome work! I think there should be a version that also refreshes screenshots of DOM elements specifically not just pixels - for example you might want to see how a thumbnail of a video changes over time from a rapidly changing page
