@mattshumer_ uses expensive LLMs to "teach" smaller LLMs to perform well on a given task.
@wandb's Weave (wandb.github.io/weave/) pairs well 🍷: code tracking, execution tracing, model versioning/sharing, dataset management, and evaluations!

Introducing `llama-405b-to-8b` ✍️
Get the quality of Llama 3.1 405B, at a fraction of the cost and latency.
Give one example of your task, and 405B will teach 8B (~30x cheaper!!) how to do the task perfectly.
And it's open-source: github.com/mshumer/gpt-promp…

🧵 Weave team is cranking! New eval comparison UI just landed. Get a beautiful high level summary of how your evals stack up, and then drill down to look at actual data in areas of disagreement.
This is a beta feature you can use now. We’d love feedback.

I'm very excited to announce Weave, our new tools to track and evaluate your LLM apps.
Use Weave to:
🍩log and version LLM interactions and surrounding data, from development to production
🍩experiment with prompting techniques, model changes, and parameters
🍩evaluate your models and measure your progress

We’ve been hard at work building Tables, a new way to organize, understand and improve your data. Today we're opening it up to everyone! Try it here:

One of the most impressive and certainly applicable uses of NNs I have seen in a long while. Fantastic work!

When talking to people who haven’t deployed ML models, I keep hearing a lot of misperceptions about ML models in production. Here are a few of them.

Economically, this seems to be a form of crowdsourcing. Rather than getting funding upfront to buy a bunch of hardware, Akash let's customers invest directly in the hardware themselves. Lower margin, but perhaps greater total return? Thoughts? akash.network/supermini/
Congratulations to @MBleifer and the @TectonAi team for working to solve a key problem in the #MLDevelopment lifecycle! Have worked directly with Matt for many years - very excited to see his next product evolve and make a huge impact. Off to the races ... good luck! (:
6 weeks ago I joined a "Stealth ML Startup" and today @TechCrunch helped us announce that @TectonAI has officially emerged from stealth to offer the Data Platform for #MachineLearning. More updates to come.

What are your daily/weekly #podcasts? For me:
- The Jordan B Peterson Podcast (@jordanbpeterson): jordanbpeterson.com/podcast/
- Making Sense with Sam Harris (@SamHarrisOrg ): samharris.org/podcast/
- The Prof G Show with Scott Galloway (@profgalloway): westwoodonepodcasts.com/pods…
What are your approaches to personal knowledge management? Many sources, forms, & desired degrees. Eg Sources: podcasts, eLecture, meditation, reading; Forms: written, code, Latex, dictation; Example degrees: discoverable, memorized, teachable, functional. Ideas?
Tips for reducing procrastination? Write down a "distraction list" with a few tasks that are still useful but are less urgent and more creative/interesting. Whenever you feel the urge to procrastinate, at least do it by researching or thinking about these items. #WorkHacks
@amazon's recently published article "identifies key elements to ensure that your [ML] workloads are architected according to best practices". I appreciate the presented mental model as it lays a strong foundation for thinking about building an #MLPlatform d1.awsstatic.com/whitepapers…
As a paid @todoist user for nearly 6 years, I want to thank you for supporting student needs to PMing. Sadly, I must move on. Your simplicity crushed the competition but has gotten to the point of unusable: cumbersome, unexpected, + cust. support disagrees. Good luck Todoist team
✨ Todoist just got a spacious new layout on the web!
* More breathing room for your task list 🤸
* Hide the left-hand menu (click the menu icon or press “m”) 🙈
* Click a task anywhere to view its sub-tasks, comments, and more👇

I’m moving $1B of my Square equity (~28% of my wealth) to #startsmall LLC to fund global COVID-19 relief. After we disarm this pandemic, the focus will shift to girl’s health and education, and UBI. It will operate transparently, all flows tracked here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
I was not clear on where the 100-200k cumulative death estimate came from w.r.t the White House's #COVID19 graphs. Analysis of the density plot shows that the US is, in fact, predicting ~98k deaths. #StayHome #MasksForAll docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
