I have seen the future and it's AICI github.com/microsoft/aici I've always wondered if foundation models will eventually support a more formal definition of prompt, beyond just natural language. This seems like a really interesting approach.

This is a fascinating idea not just for AI, but for APIs in general: ship WASM controllers to the servers which execute with a context, but allowing arbitrary flow control. github.com/microsoft/aici

This repository enables you to control the output of LLM using code, allowing you to specify the format of generated sentences through regular expressions. This makes it more reassuring to build products based on AI. github.com/microsoft/aici

This is actually brilliant work by microsoft: github.com/microsoft/aici. Sending mini WASM programs instead of prompts to LLM providers would be incredibly powerful. Multiturn, , Grammar, COT, RAG, function calling, etc could all massively benefit from this

Folks, give this new tool from RiSE a spin: github.com/microsoft/aici. Prompts are WASM programs and gives you a flexible/programmable way to control the output of an LLM. Semantics matter :)

Thanks a lot, Sriram. And thanks to my collaborators who pushed the boundaries of what is possible with concurrency testing: @tballmsft @sebburckhardt @pdeligia @slenin Suman Nath, Shan Lu and many others.
I have had the privilege watching this work emerge in close proximity over the years. Congratulations to Akash, Madan, Shaz and Tom. So well deserved!

Okay, took a week long break from Twitter and I found this. Yikes. Roopsha, continue to rock wherever you are.
Okay, just found this gem in my inbox.

An excellent talk by Aashaka (@aashaka_) at NSDI 2023. Aashaka presented TACCL (usenix.org/conference/nsdi23…), a system that synthesizes algorithms for collective communication for distributed ML training. Joint work with @madanMus @vj_chidambaram @cowanmeg27 and others not on Twitter

Cant get the picture of Marge and Homer and how they confronted the dragons of GPU communication out my head! Such an amazing keynote talk at PPoPP23 yesterday by @MalekiSaeed! Read more about MSCCL at github.com/microsoft/msccl!
