Our "Riddle of the Beginning" debate (with the great Scott Aaronson and the eminent Pria Natarayan) is online. (I remember I was a bit flummoxed by how some of my interlocutors seem actually no longer curious about this question...) iai.tv/video/the-riddle-of-t…

Ilya Sutskever gave a full talk on "Sequence to sequence learning with neural networks" It's one of the most important talks in 2024 Here are some of my favourite insights from the talk 🧵

Cohere just dropped Command R7B The smallest, fastest, state-of-the-art enterprise-grade LLM. The best part? It’s Open Weights! Here’s everything you need to know 🧵 (Cohere Partner)

It’s amazing to me how you can now “ask” an AI agent to make updates in your ERP system and have those updates executed. Take a look at the demo here:

Starting at about minute 12:50 in this demo by Amazon of a Nova-powered agent updating an order in SAP… youtu.be/KEzL6VywPBQ?feature…

Having spent much of my early career crafting Batch Input Processing for controlling SAP systems, this seems like magic!

I read Google's paper about their quantum computer so you don't have to. They claim to have ran a quantum computation in 5 minutes that would take a normal computer 10^25 years. But what was that computation? Does it live up to the hype? I will break it down.🧵

1/ Employees are taking advantage of GenAI to ask for business insights in plain language. Amazon Q Business is an example enabler of this capability. Yesterday Amazon announced updates to Amazon Q.

Seems positive that they’re focused on offering lower cost alternatives.
Unexpected. @amazon is back with Foundation Models. As part of re:Invent they announced 6 new foundation models from text only to text-to-video! 👀 Nova models will be exclusively available through Amazon Bedrock. TL;DR; 🧠 Micro (text-only), Lite (multimodal), Pro (high-capability), and Premier (coming 2025) 🎨 Canvas (image-generation) and Reel (video-generation) 📊 Context length up to 300K tokens and 200 languages 🥇 Performance on benchmarks similar to Llama 3 🗺️ Models currently only available in AWS Regions in the US 🔒 Includes watermarking capabilities (no details here) 🔧 Can be fine-tuned inside Amazon Bedrock 💰 Micro: $0.035 / $0.14; Lite: $0.06 / $0.24; Pro: $0.80 / $3.20 per million input/output tokens

@rohanpaul_ai I was thinking about the article you posted on how LLMs can navigate GUIs to carry out tasks for a person, all based just on a person's instructions. 1 / 2

Here's the paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2411.18279 So my thought is: if LLMs can do this, why do we even need GUIs anymore?

I can’t help but keep asking myself the same question.
Can you imagine that Google Home, Alexa and Siri assistants still have bad voice and are not LLM powered? What on earth are these companies doing?

Good to be aware of if your job is securing applications that use LLMs.

NVIDIA’s new sound from text model seems amazing. It’s crazy what you can create these days by just asking for it. Link to their demo video in the comment.
