MemGPT

is an AI project that aims to improve the memory capabilities of artificial intelligence models. It enables AI systems to effectively remember and recall information during conversations, making them better at tasks like long-term chat and document analysis. MemGPT achieves this by emulating the memory hierarchy of a computer’s operating system, allowing AI to manage its memory autonomously, providing an illusion of an extended context window for more coherent and context-aware interactions.

MemGPT enables AI models to have virtual memory and efficiently manage their own memory usage, providing an illusion of infinite context while still using fixed context models. This allows AI models to remember and recall information beyond limited context windows, leading to more coherent and engaging conversations.

PyTorch Distributed Shampoo

Distributed Shampoo is a preconditioned stochastic gradient optimizer in the adaptive gradient (Adagrad) family of methods, specifically designed for training neural networks. It constructs a block-diagonal preconditioner where each block consists of a coarse Kronecker product approximation to full-matrix Adagrad for each parameter of the neural network.

This optimization algorithm belongs to the AdaGrad family of methods and is an online and stochastic optimization algorithm. The implementation of Distributed Shampoo in PyTorch enables fast multi-GPU distributed data-parallel training by distributing the memory and computation associated with blocks of each parameter via PyTorch’s DTensor data structure.

MiniGPT-5: Interleaved Vision-and-Language Generation via Generative Vokens

This model is designed for vision-and-language generation tasks and utilizes generative vokens for the same. The repository contains the code for this model and is available on GitHub. It is part of the ongoing research and development in the field of AI, particularly in the area of vision and language processing.

The model is built on the foundation of MemGPT, which enhances the memory capabilities of AI models, enabling personalized and context-aware interactions. The use of MemGPT in this context allows for long-term memory, self-editing memory, and access to unlimited data, leading to customizable and contextually rich AI applications

Auction Arena

The Auction Arena is a simulated multi-agent battleground for Language Models (LLMs) to compete in strategic, dynamic, and competitive scenarios. It provides a platform for evaluating the strategic planning and execution of LLM agents in an auction environment. The arena allows for the assessment of LLMs in scenarios involving resource management, niche separation, and competitive bidding.

It is designed to test the ability of LLMs to strategize and compete in an auction setting, showcasing their strengths and weaknesses. The platform also offers a demo for personal engagement, where individuals can pit their strategic auctioning skills against AI agents or other participants. The Auction Arena is part of ongoing research and development in the field of language model evaluation and strategic AI applications.

GPT Pilot

You specify what kind of app you want to build. Then, GPT Pilot asks clarifying questions, creates the product and technical requirements, sets up the environment, and starts coding the app step by step, like in real life, while you oversee the development process.

It is an open source version of Microsoft Copilot.

Effect-TS/effect

Effect is a powerful TypeScript library designed to help developers easily create complex, synchronous, and asynchronous programs. It leverages structured concurrency to provide features such as async cancellation and safe resource management, making it easier to build robust, scalable, and efficient programs.

Some of its main features include highly-scalable, ultra low-latency applications through a fiber-based concurrency model, composability, resource safety, type safety, error handling, asynchronicity, and observability. The library is aimed at achieving highly maintainable, readable, and flexible software through the use of small, reusable building blocks
