Here's a hypothesis: I think I'll always find something I am curious about. I am a naturally curious person, and I would actually guess that everyone is? It seems impossible that there would ever be a moment where nothing could interest me. But I think curiosity arises from lack of Dopamine. Basically, boredom. If you never
No. You can see for yourself: setting the temperature variable to 0 (meaning you always sample the most likely token from the output distribution), you'd expect GPT-3.5 and 4 to produce the same output every time you call them. However, they don't. Why do LLMs produce different outputs across different runs? I've
Llama 3 is already training according to Zuck. There are conflicting sources & rumors, and the release date claims vary across all of 2024. For GPT-5 there are even no reliable rumors; if training started within the past few months then my back of napkin is that it may be launched early 2025, because OpenAI has ~2 year major
I'll share more thoughts on OpenAI Dev Day announcements soon, but one huge problem for any developer is LLM API latency. And boy, did OpenAI deliver. On a quick benchmark I ran: * gpt-4-1106-preview ("gpt-4-turbo") runs in 18ms/token * gpt-3.5-turbo-1106 ("the newest version of gpt-3.5&
The two most famous startups focused on making Agent middlewares seem to be Imbue and Adept. Both companies' goal is to have a large model use a computer effectively, but it is interesting how they seem to bet on two different approaches. * Imbue: use LLMs (text-based) with API-based tools. * Adept: use LMMs (multimodal) with UI-based tools.
* "less is more" (proverb) * "perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away" (Antoine de Saint Exupéry) * "omit needless words" (Strunk & White) * "It is vain to do with more what can be done with fewer" (Occam'
The Double Diamond is, roughly, a design framework consisting of 4 steps: 1. Diverging on problem (Discover). Explore widely to gather a broad range of insights and challenges related to the problem. 2. Converging on problem (Define). Analyze and synthesize the gathered insights to define a clear and specific problem statement. 3. Diverging on solution (Develop). Brainstorm and generate a
All top LLMs, including all GPT-family and Llama-family models, generate predictions one token at a time. It's inherent to the architecture, and applies to models running behind an API as well as local or self-deployed models. Armed with this knowledge, we can make a very accurate model of what the LLM's response time
90% of time when people say "Retrieval-augmented generation" they mean that the index is built using an embedding model like OpenAI's text-embedding-002 and a vector database like Chroma, but it doesn't have to be this way. Retrieval is a long-standing problem in computer science -- a couple of PhD students made
Retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, is a fancy term hiding a simple idea: Problem: LLMs can reason, but they don't have the most relevant facts about your situation. They don't know the location of your user, or the most relevant passage from the knowledge base, or what the current list of customers is in their CRM.
