LLMs

How do models represent style, and how can we more precisely extract and steer it?

A commonly requested feature in almost any LLM-based writing application is “I want the AI to respond in my style of writing,” or “I want the AI to adhere to this style guide.” Aside from costly and complicated multi-stage finetuning processes like Anthropic’s RL with... See more

OpenAI is treating its new marketplace seriously now: The brand new GPT store will come with REVENUE SHARING.... (missing in the Plugins launch)

and launching a Stateful Assistants API:

- Persistent Threads (/api/openai/threads)

- Built in Retrieval (chunking etc done for you)

- Code Interpreter (RIP Adv Data Analysis?)

- Speech to Text and Text to... See more

pair-preference-model-LLaMA3-8B by RLHFlow: Really strong reward model, trained to take in two inputs at once, which is the top open reward model on RewardBench (beating one of Cohere’s).

DeepSeek-V2 by deepseek-ai (21B active, 236B total param.): Another strong MoE base model from the DeepSeek team. Some people are questioning the very high MMLU... See more

However, a key risk with several of these startups is the potential lack of a long-term moat. It is difficult to read too much into it given the stage of these startups and the limited public information available but it’s not difficult to poke holes at their long term defensibility. For example:

• If a startup is built on the premise of taking base

Today, we’re releasing the Assistants API, our first step towards helping developers build agent-like experiences within their own applications. An assistant is a purpose-built AI that has specific instructions, leverages extra knowledge, and can call models and tools to perform tasks. The new Assistants API provides new capabilities such as Code... See more

So right now, LLMs (Large Language Models) are all the rage. But in the future, it’s possible that the way we get things done is composing things with a combination of LLMs, SMMs (Small, Mighty Models), agents and tools.

It’s what I call Cognitive Composition (because it sounds cool and I have a longtime love affair with alliteration).

This is how we... See more

Amplify Partners was running a survey among 800+ AI engineers to bring transparency to the AI Engineering space. The report is concise, yet it provides a wealth of insights into the technologies and methods employed by companies for the implementation of AI products.

Highlights

👉 Top AI use cases are code intelligence, data extraction and workflow... See more

The way that most RLHF is done to date has the entire response from a language model get an associated score. To anyone with an RL background, this is disappointing, because it limits the ability for RL methods to make connections about the value of each sub-component of text. Futures have been pointed to where this multi-step optimization comes at... See more
