"*reframing* the AI policy debate" what? For 6 months, there have existed open source models from China that outgun similar sized models from OpenAI on most benchmarks. Research in China builds on research from the US, and vice-versa. This is not some crisis. The only debate is on export controls.

nvidia staying a top 5 market cap company in the long term would be like if the store that sold the shovels during the Gold Rush was still one of the most valuable companies in SF. We’ll know AI’s utility and bounty is actually diffusing throughout society when that turns.

You can run Qwen2-VL-2B on your Mac with Llama.cpp (instructions in the README). The Qwen series has been one of the leading multimodal models for a couple months now. Fun to run it on the Mac. Get the GGUF files and instructions here: huggingface.co/sidrajaram/Q...

Really cool new work out of Deep Mind for video game world generation using latent diffusion! Soon you'll be able to speed run a game just by tricking a model to morph you from one location to another. deepmind.google/discover/blo...

the Cold War was different. they would over-engineer something insane like an air-to-air nuclear missile or a chicken-powered nuclear land mine and then give it a code name like 'Ding Dong'.

we recently put together `PromptObject`, which makes asking questions and talking with objects (like images/documents) as easy as one line of code. GET, PUT, and now PROMPT (!!) #ai #ml #data #minio #computervision #s3
