It is good to se big companies like Microsoft launching LLMs. They have large amount of compute power and good scientists to create useful models.

We all know it... but I think they were very bold in this warning about using your private messages to train public models. _Your messages with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta. Don't share information, including sensitive topics, about others or yourself that you don't want the AI to retain and use_

Backing up Spotify 7 months ago

We can finally search for playlists with a giving song! A basic feature that Spotify is missing!

I think that there may be another solution for this, that is the LLM write a valid code that calls the MCP's as functions. See it like a Python script, where each MCP is mapped to a function. A simple example:

  def process(param1, param2):
     my_data = mcp_get_data(param1)
     sorted_data = mcp_sort(my_data, by=param2)
     return sorted_data

Unfortunately, it uses Miniconda, which does not allow usage in companies with more than 200 employees. I think it conflicts with AGPL license. I created a PR to fix that.

GPT-4.5 1 year ago

Until GPT-4.5, GPT-4 32K was certainly the most heavy model available at OpenAI. I can imagine the dilemma between to keep it running or stop it to free GPU for training new models. This time, OpenAI was clear whether to continue serving it in the API long-term.

The file I mentioned is just the begining... there is a folder full of .dll files, renamed to .pyd. I understand that this is the proprietary part, that limits usage for 30 minutes, but I think it is too closed for a MIT license.

Thanks for sharing this! But I have some doubts about hidden installation procedures. It imports all functions from one_click (from one_click import *), which points to a compiled file. It then runs functions like install_webui and install_extra_packages. At least suspicious.

Nemotron-4-340B 2 years ago

"Nemotron-4-340B-Instruct is a chat model intended for use for the English language" - frustrating

It says it has support for Llama 2, but in a deep page you can read that it is "coming soon". Anyway, good to see support for serverless inference and painless train of Llama 2 models!

What brings to my attention in this article is the section named "Cold Start", where it generates questions based on a provided context. I think it is a good way to cheaply generate an Q&A dataset that can later be used to finetune a model. But the problem is that it generates some questions and answers of bad quality. All generated examples have issues: - "What is the context discussing about?" - which context? - "The context does not provide information on what Ray Tune is." - Not an answer - "The context does not provide information on what external library integrations are." - same as before I could only think of manual review to remove these noise questions. Any ideas on how to improve this QA generation? I've tried it before, but with paltry results.
