Great write up on my new fav fine tuning, training + inf engine: ms-swift from Alibaba group. Supports every freaking model that matters, a massive amount of full + PEFT finetuning, has tons of backends wrapped, like lm-deploy, vLLM, unsloth, deepspeed, etc. Awesome. www.shelpuk.com/post/fine-tu...

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Scoop a jar of water out of the ocean and put a lid on it...Study it in its segregated state. Where is the ocean in that jar? Where are the tides and the currents? Pour it back into the ocean and it returns to its integrated state. The temporary entity no longer exists. - Jed McKenna

Why we're still in the Atari 2600 era of AI agents and not the PS5 era. My team works on building agents every day and every team I talk to keeps running into the same problems, whether they have 1M or 10B in the bank. danieljeffries.substack.com/p/the-illogi...

Amazing article on DeepSeek, the folks because the excellent open source o1 model, R1. "While Americans excel at 0-1 innovation, Chinese excel at 1-10 application development." The Chinese are smashing Americans and Europeans in the open source AI race. www.chinatalk.media/p/deepseek-c...

Games are reasonable stepping stones as testbeds for AI progress. NetHack and text adventure games hit on modern AI weaknesses. I literally just gave a talk on why we should take Dungeons and Dragons and other role-playing games seriously as AI challenges.

Men fear thought more than they fear anything else-more than ruin, more even than death. It's subversive + revolutionary, destructive + terrible; thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions...thought is...indifferent to authority, careless of the well-tried wisdom of the ages. - BR

In my latest article I paint a hopeful but realistic view of the future, threading the needle between the screaming headlines of AI utopia or AI doom. What we most desperately need is a heavy dose of realism. We need the middle path of AI. danieljeffries.substack.com/p/the-middle...
