Forgot to share this link as well, not sure if you're aware of it but it's a great write up on fine tuning small local models on specific APIs and seems like it would be a perfect fit for your project. https://bair.berk

Love it! Voice interaction is a great modality for UI. A lot of people have a bad taste left over from early attempts but I expect to see a lot of progress made now that STT and natural language understanding is so much better. The biggest

Using Whisper as the voice interface, an LLM to understand the prompt and issue function call commands and an image upscaler you could build this in a weekend. Would it be useful? Not especially by itself but I think there is a lot of promi

It could be done and it might actually be useful. You could fine tune one of OpenAI's models on the material owned by the company and use RAG to create bespoke summaries or quotations to fulfill the user's request but if you'

If their multi-modal model works similarly to any of the existing voice models then they would only need a fairly small number of samples. Current voice models only require you to prefix a voice sample in order to mimic it. They also still

I'm expecting much less drama. Maybe AI startups will fail at a higher rate than regular startups but there will still be success stories. Are we conveniently forgetting that the vast majority of businesses fail? There are still crypto

Solving that will be a much bigger deal but it's at odds with producing a highly accurate emulation of human thought and language. Language models can serve as tools to understand and experiment with logic formulated as natural languag

Why not? Nuclear is far safer than a coal or gas plant and that's using the older model reactors as a stats source. Newer small reactor designs are even safer. Anxiety and fear of nuclear power is a purely media and activist driven phe

Listen to the side by side comparisons. Sky has a deeper voice overall, in the gpt4o demo Sky displays a wider pitch range because the omni model is capable of emotional intonation. Her voice slides quite a bit while emoting but notably doe

can you select a context length that fits in your GPU though? I suppose even a 128k model would be more than enough for almost everyone running these models on their own hardware.
