Here’s everything you need to know about Google’s generative AI learning path. — A few days ago Google launched a Generative AI learning path with courses that cover topics such as Introduction to Generative AI, Large Language Models, Image Generation, etc. The best thing is that some of the courses don’t have any prerequisites and are free, so even those with no programming…

Mastering open-source language models: diving into Falcon-40B — Introduction The focus of the AI industry has shifted towards building more powerful, larger-scale language models that can understand and generate human-like text. Models like GPT-3 from OpenAI have led the way, demonstrating remarkable capabilities. The motto of OpenAI for a long time was to make these models open-sourced. Unfortunately, they…

Get started using Falcon-7B, Falcon-40B, and their instruct versions — The Falcon models have drawn a lot of attention since they have been released in May 2023. They are causal large language models (LLM), or so-called “decoder-only” models, very much like GPT. Definition: Causal Language Model Causal language modeling involves predicting the token that follows a sequence of tokens. During…

ChatGPT can help automate the most boring parts of anyone’s job. — ChatGPT is more than your personal assistant. It’s a tool that can make you super productive at work! However, most of us only scratch the surface of what ChatGPT can truly offer. In a recent article, I talked about some hidden gems I found while using ChatGPT on my everyday…

How a wise use of direction when doing message passing on heterophilic graphs can result in very significant gains. — Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are highly effective at modelling relational data. However, current GNN models frequently assume the input graph to be undirected, overlooking the inherent directionality of many real-world graphs, such as social, transportation, transaction, and citation networks. In this blog post, we explore the impact of edge directionality…

Creating General-Purpose AI Agents for Minecraft — Introduction to Vereya Minecraft is not only a popular game and an educational platform, but also a good environment for AI R&D. However, building and training intelligent agents and even studying programming in Minecraft is typically separated from normally playing the game itself. Different Minecraft mods for AI R&D are oriented towards massive…

A process of prompt engineering, software engineering, trial and error, and elbow grease — Unlike tabular data, datasets for computer vision tasks are unstructured — think gobs of pixels, heaps of labels, bags of tags, and some sometimes-structured metadata. …

It is said that the age of philosophers has been over for some time. Whether it was with Heidegger, Wittgenstein, etc., the claim is that no philosophers since them have created any fundamental changes in Western philosophy. Others say that philosophy is undergoing a golden age with authors like Badiou…

Flux is described as a power tool, providing the ability to interface with expansive LLM prompts. — Flux can be considered as a natural progression from what is currently a given for LLM playgrounds. Instead of having a single and linear approach to prompts, a parallel and dialog tree approach is taken. With a few additions, Flux can become a very useful no-code prompt creating and chaining…
