Many of the coding wrapper companies have recently changed their monetization to move almost exclusively to usage based. Itโs a necessary step for these companies to be GM+ but it will also accelerate the economic incentive for the underlying Foundational Models to โmove up the

Thrilled to support this fantastic initiative by @andreasklinger, @hrklmann, @SimonSchaefer, @vojtech & others! A common European entity is a great first step toward further harmonization on taxes, labor laws, and more within the EU.
Europe, it's time for action! ๐ช๐บ Join our petition for an EU-Inc: A pan-European startup entity Goal: - fix investments - fix europe-wide employment - fix stock options - unite the European startup ecosystems We got 6 weeks to make this real! Sign here:

Interesting work on reviving RNNs. https://t.co/1CDiKSitk3 -- in general the fact that there are many recent architectures coming from different directions that roughly match Transformers is proof that architectures aren't fundamentally important in the curve-fitting paradigm

The introduction of Transformers in 2017 reshaped the landscape of deep learning. Originally proposed for sequence modelling, Transformers have since achieved widespread success across various...

As an AI researcher and entrepreneur, I'm glad Governor @GavinNewsom vetoed SB 1047. I've been saying for years: Regulate AI applications, don't regulate abstract AI models. The same way we regulate specific types of illegal content and don't make the internet slower instead.

Unbelievably grateful to @GavinNewsom for doing the right thing for California and vetoing SB 1047. This is the path to sensible AI policy and maintaining California's global leadership in AI. Thank you to every who worked tirelessly to shed light on the perils of SB 1047. Many

A decision on SB-1047 is due soon. Governor @GavinNewsom has said he's concerned about its "chilling effect, particularly in the open source community". He's right, and I hope he will veto this. If you agree, please like/retweet this to show your support for VETOing SB-1047!
