🥇 Hands down the best applied course as we speak. There's just no equivalent. Packed with battle-hardened practical advice by the best in our field. The point is to get you to work out viable solutions for real problems. To ship that product. Very warm recommend! 👍🤗

If you remember our Applied LLMs course, you'll love this. Today, we are making all these resources available for free to everyone! 📚 We did extra work to add learning tracks, resources, and notes to each lesson to maximize your learning. Link in next tweet

Sometimes when I look at my wife I almost want to choke up from how lovely she is. We've been together for over a decade and its no less intense than the day we met.

Flux redux just does character consistency out of the box. The outputs don't perfectly match the input person, but they are internally consistent, the person is the same person in all the outputs. replicate.com/black-forest-l…

Wait - is the new GPT-4o a smaller and less intelligent model? We have completed running our independent evals on OpenAI’s GPT-4o release yesterday and are consistently measuring materially lower eval scores than the August release of GPT-4o. GPT-4o (Nov) vs GPT-4o (Aug): ➤…

Here’s my 5, almost 6 year old using the Minecraft command line. He literally learned to read and type and spell just so he could to Minecraft commands!!

Just to clarify this benchmark. This is an apple to oranges comparison. - Cerebras is fast for batch size 1 but slow for batch size n. - GPUs are slow for batch size 1 but fast for batch size n. I get >800 tok/s on 8x H100 for a 405B model for batch size=n. Cerebras' system…

Llama 3.1 405B is now running on Cerebras! – 969 tokens/s, frontier AI now runs at instant speed – 12x faster than GPT-4o, 18x Claude, 12x fastest GPU cloud – 128K context length, 16-bit weights – Industry’s fastest time-to-first token @ 240ms

Hard facts about life

I had one of those lightbulb moments recently that I just have to share with you. I was talking with my friend Kelly about relationships and success patterns when everything clicked. There's this fascinating framework about how different people move through the world, and once…

Wow there is a *lot* of llms.txt activity happening now. Like… a lot lot… directory.llmstxt.cloud


badass The Bell vibe is strong with this xAI

I diffed a few hundred thousand lines of lspci output until ~4:20am to debug a bios misconfiguration with Elon sitting next to us. That was the last bug we had to fix to get the multi host training up and running. Being good with vimdiff came in handy. We also had a really smart…



this is the next step let languages run free

We shouldn't have to duplicate these mechanisms in every language. We need native WASM support for DOM manipulation to unlock polyglot web development

We are very close to hitting our respondent goal 🏁🏃 Take a few minutes to complete the Python Developers Survey and help us map out an accurate landscape of the Python community in 2024! #python #pythondevsurvey survey.alchemer.com/s3/8009809/pyt…



More power to independent websites! The true way of the web as intended: a network of networks. A "social" network is just one instance of the latter; its ultimate utility is to facilitate interconnection between them, between us. One should never depend on a third-party to…

I still like my carefully crafted Twitter-sphere, but if you're leaving and want to keep up with what I'm doing, I put almost everything on my site's 'everything' page, which has an RSS feed! johnowhitaker.dev/all.html

I would take this even further. I currently disqualify hires that DO NOT use AI effectively (not slop). This includes EAs, writers, lawyers, accountants, marketers, designers, etc. Because I use AI in all my workflows having a “graph break” is catastrophic if someone doesn’t…

Coding interviews should be using ai. If you disagree you literally don’t understand what ai is for Sure you can use it to fill gaps & find easy answers More importantly you can use it to accelerate and do much bigger things Failing to select for this skill will ruin tech co’s



build now.

The things that transfixed you as a child, that you found most exciting was not a passing fancy, but a message about what you're supposed to do.



IT peaked in 2016 and it's only been going downhill since. Why can't apps and infrastructure do today what was solved 10+ years ago? In my experience, 80% of an industry constantly busy fixing what's not broken to farm their CV. Endless circular churn. BS jobs, literally.

I'm not sure that enough people subscribe to the @Smol_AI newsletter. It's 1 very comprehensive email per day summarizing AI/LLM chatter across X, Reddit, Discord. There's probably others (feel free to reply), but I like this one quite a bit, ty again to @swyx and team.
