In large organizations compliance is often rewarded more than success. Founders should avoid the challenges of large organizations for as long as possible.

The more inflated the language in your startup's pitch, the less convincing it seems. If you're a seed stage company, don't tell me you're transforming global this or poised to dominate that. Tell me you noticed something that might turn out to be an overlooked opportunity.

Amazing that a chip bricked in 46-yr-old Voyager I, preventing it from sending data, and NASA figured out how to split up and reallocate its functions to other hardware, sending code 15 billion miles away (45 hours round trip!)--and Voyager's back online. blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/2024/0…

Rubrik was founded on a vision to deliver business resilience by securing the most critical asset of any organization - data. We aim to build an enduring institution with a unique platform that delivers data security to solve critical problems and delight our customers.

Tesla has now created over 30,000 manufacturing jobs in California!

Introducing Meta Llama 3: the most capable openly available LLM to date.

Today we’re releasing 8B & 70B models that deliver on new capabilities such as improved reasoning and set a new state-of-the-art for models of their sizes.

Today's release includes the first two Llama 3

We just launched our Batch API:
- 50% discount on all tokens
- Huge rate limits (up to 250M enqueued tokens GPT-4T)
- Upload bulk files and get the completions within 24hrs

Highly amusing update, ~18 hours later:

llm.c is now down to 26.2ms/iteration, exactly matching PyTorch (tf32 forward pass). We discovered a bug where we incorrectly called cuBLAS in fp32 mathmode 🤦‍♂️. And ademeure contributed a more optimized softmax kernel for very long rows

At Starbase, @ElonMusk provided an update on the company’s plans to send humanity to Mars, the best destination to begin making life multiplanetary

Tool use, in which an LLM is given functions it can request to call for gathering information, taking action, or manipulating data, is a key design pattern of AI agentic workflows. You may be familiar with LLM-based systems that can perform a web search or execute code. Some of

Here is one thing about AGI House you should know:

We honor the greatest AI founders and researchers of our time!

Amazing! Met great people working at WeWork Palo Alto many times!

(0/25) Here's a list of 25 YC companies that have trained their own AI models. Reading through these will give you a good sense of what the near future will look like.

Tesla Owners Silicon Valley I might be getting to the point where I’ve overseen the construction of a wider range of manufacturing systems than anyone.

Managing a global supply chain is also very difficult and underrated.

Tactics wins battles, but logistics (supply chain) wins wars.

It is sad that in order to be able to pursue deep hard tech over a long time horizon, (mostly) you need to have had a quicker financial success of some magnitude in your career once before, mostly with something that’s not really hard tech. Musk, Bezos, etc. It makes you assume

Introducing MatX: we design hardware tailored for LLMs, to deliver an order of magnitude more computing power so AI labs can make their models an order of magnitude smarter.

Our hardware would make it possible to train GPT-4 and run ChatGPT, but on the budget of a small startup.

#DBRX sets a new standard for efficient open source LLMs. While it has 132B total parameters, with its fine-grained MoE architecture, DBRX only uses 36B at any given time.

Learn more about how we built #DBRX & benchmarked its performance. dbricks.co/3J13hed

Sustained great work often demands enjoying the process for its own sake rather than only feeling joy in the end result. Time is mostly spent between results, and hard to keep pushing yourself to get to the next level if you’re not having fun while doing so.
