    📆 🎂 - ThursdAI #52 - Moshi Voice, Qwen2 finetunes, GraphRag deep dive and more AI news on this celebratory 1yr ThursdAI
    Jul 4 2024
    Hey everyone! Happy 4th of July to everyone who celebrates! I celebrated today by having an intimate conversation with 600 of my closest X friends 😂 Joking aside, today is a celebratory episode, 52nd consecutive weekly ThursdAI show! I've been doing this as a podcast for a year now!Which means, there are some of you, who've been subscribed for a year 😮 Thank you! Couldn't have done this without you. In the middle of my talk at AI Engineer (I still don't have the video!) I had to plug ThursdAI, and I asked the 300+ audience who is a listener of ThursdAI, and I saw a LOT of hands go up, which is honestly, still quite humbling. So again, thank you for tuning in, listening, subscribing, learning together with me and sharing with your friends! This week, we covered a new (soon to be) open source voice model from KyutAI, a LOT of open source LLM, from InternLM, Cognitive Computations (Eric Hartford joined us), Arcee AI (Lukas Atkins joined as well) and we have a deep dive into GraphRAG with Emil Eifrem CEO of Neo4j (who shares why it was called Neo4j in the first place, and that he's a ThursdAI listener, whaaat? 🤯), this is definitely a conversation you don't want to miss, so tune in, and read a breakdown below:TL;DR of all topics covered: * Voice & Audio* KyutAI releases Moshi - first ever 7B end to end voice capable model (Try it)* Open Source LLMs * Microsoft Updated Phi-3-mini - almost a new model * InternLM 2.5 - best open source model under 12B on Hugging Face (HF, Github)* Microsoft open sources GraphRAG (Announcement, Github, Paper)* OpenAutoCoder-Agentless - SOTA on SWE Bench - 27.33% (Code, Paper)* Arcee AI - Arcee Agent 7B - from Qwen2 - Function / Tool use finetune (HF)* LMsys announces RouteLLM - a new Open Source LLM Router (Github)* DeepSeek Chat got an significant upgrade (Announcement)* Nomic GPT4all 3.0 - Local LLM (Download, Github)* This weeks Buzz* New free Prompts course from WandB in 4 days (pre sign up)* Big CO LLMs + APIs* Perplexity announces their new pro research mode (Announcement)* X is rolling out "Grok Analysis" button and it's BAD in "fun mode" and then paused roll out* Figma pauses the rollout of their AI text to design tool "Make Design" (X)* Vision & Video* Cognitive Computations drops DolphinVision-72b - VLM (HF)* Chat with Emil Eifrem - CEO Neo4J about GraphRAG, AI EngineerVoice & AudioKyutAI Moshi - a 7B end to end voice model (Try It, See Announcement)Seemingly out of nowhere, another french AI juggernaut decided to drop a major announcement, a company called KyutAI, backed by Eric Schmidt, call themselves "the first European private-initiative laboratory dedicated to open research in artificial intelligence" in a press release back in November of 2023, have quite a few rockstar co founders ex Deep Mind, Meta AI, and have Yann LeCun on their science committee.This week they showed their first, and honestly quite mind-blowing release, called Moshi (Japanese for Hello, Moshi Moshi), which is an end to end voice and text model, similar to GPT-4o demos we've seen, except this one is 7B parameters, and can run on your mac! While the utility of the model right now is not the greatest, not remotely close to anything resembling the amazing GPT-4o (which was demoed live to me and all of AI Engineer by Romain Huet) but Moshi shows very very impressive stats! Built by a small team during only 6 months or so of work, they have trained an LLM (Helium 7B) an Audio Codec (Mimi) a Rust inference stack and a lot more, to give insane performance. Model latency is 160ms and mic-to-speakers latency is 200ms, which is so fast it seems like it's too fast. The demo often responds faster than I'm able to finish my sentence, and it results in an uncanny, "reading my thoughts" type feeling. The most important part is this though, a quote of KyutAI post after the announcement : Developing Moshi required significant contributions to audio codecs, multimodal LLMs, multimodal instruction-tuning and much more. We believe the main impact of the project will be sharing all Moshi’s secrets with the upcoming paper and open-source of the model.I'm really looking forward to how this tech can be applied to the incredible open source models we already have out there! Speaking to out LLMs is now officially here in the Open Source, way before we got GPT-4o and it's exciting! Open Source LLMs Microsoft stealth update Phi-3 Mini to make it almost a new modelSo stealth in fact, that I didn't even have this update in my notes for the show, but thanks to incredible community (Bartowsky, Akshay Gautam) who made sure we don't miss this, because it's so huge. The model used additional post-training data leading to substantial gains on instruction following and structure output. We also improve multi-turn conversation quality, explicitly support <|system|> tag, and significantly improve reasoning capabilityPhi-3 June update is quite significant across the board, just look at some of these scores, 354.78% ...

  • 📅 ThursdAI - Gemma 2, AI Engineer 24', AI Wearables, New LLM leaderboard

    📅 ThursdAI - Gemma 2, AI Engineer 24', AI Wearables, New LLM leaderboard
    Jun 27 2024
    Hey everyone, sending a quick one today, no deep dive, as I'm still in the middle of AI Engineer World's Fair 2024 in San Francisco (in fact, I'm writing this from the incredible floor 32 presidential suite, that the team here got for interviews, media and podcasting, and hey to all new folks who I’ve just met during the last two days!) It's been an incredible few days meeting so many ThursdAI community members, listeners and folks who came on the pod! The list honestly is too long but I've got to meet friends of the pod Maxime Labonne, Wing Lian, Joao Morra (crew AI), Vik from Moondream, Stefania Druga not to mention the countless folks who came up and gave high fives, introduced themselves, it was honestly a LOT of fun. (and it's still not over, if you're here, please come and say hi, and let's take a LLM judge selfie together!)On today's show, we recorded extra early because I had to run and play dress up, and boy am I relieved now that both the show and the talk are behind me, and I can go an enjoy the rest of the conference 🔥 (which I will bring you here in full once I get the recording!) On today's show, we had the awesome pleasure to have Surya Bhupatiraju who's a research engineer at Google DeepMind, talk to us about their newly released amazing Gemma 2 models! It was very technical, and a super great conversation to check out! Gemma 2 came out with 2 sizes, a 9B and a 27B parameter models, with 8K context (we addressed this on the show) and this 27B model incredible performance is beating LLama-3 70B on several benchmarks and is even beating Nemotron 340B from NVIDIA! This model is also now available on the Google AI studio to play with, but also on the hub! We also covered the renewal of the HuggingFace open LLM leaderboard with their new benchmarks in the mix and normalization of scores, and how Qwen 2 is again the best model that's tested! It's was a very insightful conversation, that's worth listening to if you're interested in benchmarks, definitely give it a listen. Last but not least, we had a conversation with Ethan Sutin, the co-founder of Bee Computer. At the AI Engineer speakers dinner, all the speakers received a wearable AI device as a gift, and I onboarded (cause Swyx asked me) and kinda forgot about it. On the way back to my hotel I walked with a friend and chatted about my life. When I got back to my hotel, the app prompted me with "hey, I now know 7 new facts about you" and it was incredible to see how much of the conversation it was able to pick up, and extract facts and eve TODO's! So I had to have Ethan on the show to try and dig a little bit into the privacy and the use-cases of these hardware AI devices, and it was a great chat! Sorry for the quick one today, if this is the first newsletter after you just met me and register, usually there’s a deeper dive here, expect a more in depth write-ups in the next sessions, as now I have to run down and enjoy the rest of the conference! Here's the TL;DR and my RAW show notes for the full show, in case it's helpful! * AI Engineer is happening right now in SF* Tracks include Multimodality, Open Models, RAG & LLM Frameworks, Agents, Al Leadership, Evals & LLM Ops, CodeGen & Dev Tools, Al in the Fortune 500, GPUs & Inference* Open Source LLMs * HuggingFace - LLM Leaderboard v2 - (Blog)* Old Benchmarks sucked and it's time to renew* New Benchmarks* MMLU-Pro (Massive Multitask Language Understanding - Pro version, paper)* GPQA (Google-Proof Q&A Benchmark, paper).

    📅 ThursdAI - June 20th - 👑 Claude Sonnet 3.5 new LLM king, DeepSeek new OSS code king, Runway Gen-3 SORA competitor, Ilya's back & more AI news from this crazy week
    Jun 20 2024
    Hey, this is Alex. Don't you just love when assumptions about LLMs hitting a wall just get shattered left and right and we get new incredible tools released that leapfrog previous state of the art models, that we barely got used to, from just a few months ago? I SURE DO! Today is one such day, this week was already busy enough, I had a whole 2 hour show packed with releases, and then Anthropic decided to give me a reason to use the #breakingNews button (the one that does the news show like sound on the live show, you should join next time!) and announced Claude Sonnet 3.5 which is their best model, beating Opus while being 2x faster and 5x cheaper! (also beating GPT-4o and Turbo, so... new king! For how long? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)Critics are already raving, it's been half a day and they are raving! Ok, let's get to the TL;DR and then dive into Claude 3.5 and a few other incredible things that happened this week in AI! 👇 TL;DR of all topics covered: * Open Source LLMs * NVIDIA - Nemotron 340B - Base, Instruct and Reward model (X)* DeepSeek coder V2 (230B MoE, 16B) (X, HF)* Meta FAIR - Chameleon MMIO models (X)* HF + BigCodeProject are deprecating HumanEval with BigCodeBench (X, Bench)* NousResearch - Hermes 2 LLama3 Theta 70B - GPT-4 level OSS on MT-Bench (X, HF)* Big CO LLMs + APIs* Gemini Context Caching is available * Anthropic releases Sonnet 3.5 - beating GPT-4o (X, Claude.ai)* Ilya Sutskever starting SSI.inc - safe super intelligence (X)* Nvidia is the biggest company in the world by market cap* This weeks Buzz * Alex in SF next week for AIQCon, AI Engineer. ThursdAI will be sporadic but will happen!* W&B Weave now has support for tokens and cost + Anthropic SDK out of the box (Weave Docs)* Vision & Video* Microsoft open sources Florence 230M & 800M Vision Models (X, HF)* Runway Gen-3 - (t2v, i2v, v2v) Video Model (X)* Voice & Audio* Google Deepmind teases V2A video-to-audio model (Blog)* AI Art & Diffusion & 3D* Flash Diffusion for SD3 is out - Stable Diffusion 3 in 4 steps! (X)ThursdAI - Recaps of the most high signal AI weekly spaces is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.🦀 New king of LLMs in town - Claude 3.5 Sonnet 👑 Ok so first things first, Claude Sonnet, the previously forgotten middle child of the Claude 3 family, has now received a brain upgrade! Achieving incredible performance on many benchmarks, this new model is 5 times cheaper than Opus at $3/1Mtok on input and $15/1Mtok on output. It's also competitive against GPT-4o and turbo on the standard benchmarks, achieving incredible scores on MMLU, HumanEval etc', but we know that those are already behind us. Sonnet 3.5, aka Claw'd (which is a great marketing push by the Anthropic folks, I love to see it), is beating all other models on Aider.chat code editing leaderboard, winning on the new livebench.ai leaderboard and is getting top scores on MixEval Hard, which has 96% correlation with LMsys arena.While benchmarks are great and all, real folks are reporting real findings of their own, here's what Friend of the Pod Pietro Skirano had to say after playing with it: there's like a lot of things that I saw that I had never seen before in terms of like creativity and like how much of the model, you know, actually put some of his own understanding into your request-@SkiranoWhat's notable a capability boost is this quote from the Anthropic release blog: In an internal agentic coding evaluation, Claude 3.5 Sonnet solved 64% of problems, outperforming Claude 3 Opus which solved 38%. One detail that Alex Albert from Anthropic pointed out from this released was, that on GPQA (Graduate-Level Google-Proof Q&A) Benchmark, they achieved a 67% with various prompting techniques, beating PHD experts in respective fields in this benchmarks that average 65% on this. This... this is crazyBeyond just the benchmarks This to me is a ridiculous jump because Opus was just so so good already, and Sonnet 3.5 is jumping over it with agentic solving capabilities, and also vision capabilities. Anthropic also announced that vision wise, Claw'd is significantly better than Opus at vision tasks (which, again, Opus was already great at!) and lastly, Claw'd now has a great recent cutoff time, it knows about events that happened in February 2024! Additionally, claude.ai got a new capability which significantly improves the use of Claude, which they call artifacts. It needs to be turned on in settings, and then Claude will have access to files, and will show you in an aside, rendered HTML, SVG files, Markdown docs, and a bunch more stuff, and it'll be able to reference different files it creates, to create assets and then a game with these assets for example! 1 Ilya x 2 Daniels to build Safe SuperIntelligence Ilya Sutskever, Co-founder and failed board Coup participant (leader?) at OpenAI, has resurfaced after a long time of people wondering "where's Ilya" with one hell of an announcement. ...
