Yay! We got featured! Top of the Vision Pro App Store (we're Passage) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/flowriter-writers-retreat/id6470159510

AppleScript is back baby! Two projects using it to connect LLMs to make your Mac into an agent (self-driving computer to: make notes, email, reminders, etc). https://github.com/firstbatchxyz/dria-agent https://github.com/Dhravya/apple-mcp

Used my dataset as a benchmark http://bit.ly/3D5q4Gr, & now seeing how it does w/ finetuning Found a cool repo for that called unsloth. Huggingface giving it shoutouts too. https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth I knew serving AI models was getting commoditized fast.Training might be too. No moat in

Sometimes, I am confronted with consuming an inordinate amount of Mexican food. But I WILL eat it all. Inch-by-enchilada.

Little tidbit on making our new math word problem benchmark: At one point, we asked the LLM if each error came from an unclear question, or a simple mistake. The model assured us that the model was always at fault. The sycophancy in the machine was alive & well.

For your consideration, a blogpost on how we made a math problem dataset for ML/AI https://www.cephalopod.studio/blog/arithmetic-word-problem-compendium-using-a-new-math-word-problem-dataset-as-a-benchmark-for-llms A whole lot of thought went into it, as well as accounting for a whole lot of edgeca

Kuo with Apple humanoid robot rumors: Here is the full text from Kuo on Twitter: https://x.com/mingchikuo/status/1889694419907125342?s=61&t=a-bloX1n-TZ50ofqhetO1A "Apple is exploring both humanoid and non-humanoid robots for its future smart home ecosystem, and these products are still in the early

Using our arithmetic word problem dataset as a new benchmark! https://huggingface.co/datasets/HelloCephalopod/AWPCD GPGenAI Turbo: 81.7% GPT 4 Turbo: 93.9% o3-mini: 96.4% You can see the breakdown of the errors in the HF repo #ML #AI #GenAI

n case you're wondering about those rumors of Apple attaching a display to a robot arm. Take a look at this Apple research paper from last month. I know Pixar and Apple have roots, but dang.

Took a little while, but got my dataset for training LLMs on multi-step math word problems published on Kaggle! https://www.kagjupyter/datasets/cephalopoddatasets/arithmetic-word-problem-compendium Complete with a jupyter notebook to tour the data https://www.kaggle.com/code/cephalopoddatasets/ari

We added true 3D worlds to our immersive environments app on the Vision Pro! apps.apple.com/us/app/flowr... Marking our anniversary as a day-one app :)

Launched a new project! A dataset of 10 million arithmetic word problems in 7 domains w/ up to 5 steps for each problem. (I made a templating system to make them as you please). For distilling models for deep reasoning, a la R1 Got a sample 1k problems & more info: huggingface.co/datasets/Hel...

These are the days when Psalm 49 slaps especially hard

It’s in the stillness, the quiet, when you are alone with your thoughts, that you realize, man, the tinnitus has gotten really bad

I used to offer weekly Office Hours, but between health issues, personal commitments, and going indie, I found myself at a loss for time. I finally have more space in my life, and would like to once again volunteer time to help people in tech. No charge, no catch, whatever you need — sign up today!

Pundits: "This AI nonsense has no value!" Me, having saved countless hours programming with it and learned new fields that would've been inaccessible to me - but still trying to be cool: "I know, right"

Yes! With TikTok gone I’ll have so much more time! Narrator: he wouldn’t

After extensive observation, I’ve concluded that paw patrol’s Ryder just has too much power

If you tell me your name to my face five times, I will still forget it immediately and never remember it again. But If I hear call you using say your name from across the room or something, I will remember it until my brain is dust.

Have we tried spraying the buggy code with pesticide?

F- it, chick fil a buys TikTok. Do it

I've come to realize that my pedigree is extremely peccable.

I mean, the scanner

Ringing in the new year making cool stuff. This was really fun to make: my 3D scanner app, Sapling, can now let you sync your models to your Vision Pro for free. Vid shows both scanning w/ lidar and generating w/ AI. Which one wins? apps.apple.com/us/app/3d-sc... youtu.be/mkFr3wn7xiM

Found that from this excellent post from Simon Willison simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/31/...

These kinds of apps are incredible. Completely free, offline, fast, high quality LLM app. apps.apple.com/us/app/mlc-c... Pretty wild that you can now locally run LLM models that are basically as good as GPT 3.5 was. Not even in-app purchases in this app

Quick Spanish lesson: Nosferatu -> Nosotrosferatumos

At times I wonder, should I second guess more often?

Petition for OpenAI to just name models things like "o3(new)_final_v2" etc.

It's that time of hour when I think about changing my main GPT driver. Is the o1 non-preview any better than Claude 3.5 Sonnet for coding? Primarily looking at Python and Swift.

BTW The cost to scan models on iOS is a one-time $3 purchase. It has a bit more than the standard object capture code, where you can do more than three guided scan passes, and you can export to other 3D formats, including for 3D printing. You can generate on AVP with no subscription (via ads).

Yay! The Vision Pro companion app to 3D Scanner Sapling is up! apps.apple.com/us/app/3d-sc... Syncing scanned models from iPhone & iPad is free and you can also generate 3D models directly in the AVP. Let me know what you think, and please leave ratings and reviews 🙏

You know, my charm is a lot like a room-temperature superconductor. In that it doesn’t exist
