The company I work for try to add AI/LLM on everything, instead of trying to improve/fix the underlying problem, they now just add the magic AI and everything is “perfect” now.

As an ML engineer and AI developer, I don’t see the real value at all, not to mention the added cost of using LLM

OpenAI O1 2 years ago

I looked at the supposed “research” article, there’s nothing to read except few charts to show off the “improvements” over current models. No discussion of the training method or dataset whatsoever.

If I remember correctly, the last decent research paper the company published was probably the InstructGPT paper.

Anyone know how to use GraphRAG to build the knowledge graph on a large collection of private documents, where some might have complex structure (tables, links to other docs), and the content or terms in one document could be related to other documents as well?

I'm wondering if the tensor parallel settings have any impact on the performance. My naive guess is yes but not sure.

According to the article: """ AMD Configuration: Tensor parallelism set to 1 (tp=1), since we can fit the entire model Mixtral 8x7B in a single MI300X’s 192GB of VRAM.

NVIDIA Configuration: Tensor parallelism set to 2 (tp=2), which is required to fit Mixtral 8x7B in two H100’s 80GB VRAM. """

I once worked at a company that put a large logo with the company name on their office building. They used the Microsoft YaHei font, and didn’t have the permission or license, so they got contacted by the Microsoft representatives. I’m not sure if they sued the company, but at the end the company I work for did pay some money to settle the case. That was about 10 years ago.

Yes I agree with you on that. However not every author can negotiate with the publisher to get the permission to offer the ebook for free on their own website (I got rejected on the idea).

I guess if you’re a famous one then you can probably get that , but now for average people?

This is really frustrating, because as an author you can’t offer your own book on your own website for free, while on some third party websites it’s already been downloaded thousands of times.

From my experience as an author of a tech book, the ebook is pirated even before the official publication date, the authors only have access to the ebooks fees days after the publication date. That’s why I’ll never write a book again.
