OpenAI Dev Day

Exciting! OpenAI just hosted its first devday for developers Nov 6 2023. PREVIEW : We have many flash cards about OpenAI DevDay, OpenAI API, Langchain, Hugging Face, Llama 🦙 index and llama2 and all of LLM in the pipeline, advanced prompt engineering templating. They will be delivered to you this month. 🚀 OpenAI says: “Recordings of the keynote and breakout sessions will be available one week after the event.” Dev day take-away flash cards coming soon. (Though the keynote seems to be already available on OpenAI’s channel — https://youtu.be/U9mJuUkhUzk).

What is already known and insane is that OpenAI just released the GPTs — customized AI apps specialized in domain knowledge/ topic / fine tuned tasks e.g. creating SQL queries At the end of this month, it will release an app store — a AI marketplace! In San Altman’s own words “GPTs are tailored versions of ChatGPT for a specific purpose. (PS: Sam Altman was the CEO of OpenAI yesterday, and was ousted today Nov 17! WSJ — Sam Altman is Out at OpenAI; Mira Murati will be interim CEO. ) Soon, everyday users and developers will be able to create their custom version of GPT and no coding required!! Users can use natural language to build a custom GPT of anything : with “instructions, expanded knowledge, and then you can publish it for others to use” — effectively monetizing your app (for the best apps OpenAI will revenue share). Pretty insane! Anyone will be able to join the next AI compute revolution. And yes OpenAI will probably ruined a lot of jobs and startups.

Could this be OpenAI’s “App Store Moment” (the opening of a vibrant, highly profitable app and subscription ecosystem, a business model piloted by iPhone)? OpenAI is surely growing rapidly — it just leased office spaces from Uber in downtown San Francisco, read more here.

Word Embeddings and Tokens

Embeddings are usually initialized randomly. A language model would consume a lot of training examples to learn the weights for generating correct embeddings — for example, words that have similar meaning, nearby text should have similar representations (embedding with close distances).
