I’ve been telling people this a lot today: I enjoy so much working with people who care about what they are building and craftsmanship. It is a privilege to have a chance to work on something I’m passionate about, beyond making a living. I cherish it and don’t take it for

Excited to release new repo: nanochat! (it's among the most unhinged I've written). Unlike my earlier similar repo nanoGPT which only covered pretraining, nanochat is a minimal, from scratch, full-stack training/inference pipeline of a simple ChatGPT clone in a single,

New Anthropic Research: A new set of evaluations for sabotage capabilities. As models gain more agentic abilities, we need to get smarter in how we monitor them. We’re publishing a new set of complex evaluations that test for sabotage—and sabotage-monitoring—capabilities.

RT to help Simon raise awareness of prompt injection attacks in LLMs. Feels a bit like the wild west of early computing, with computer viruses (now = malicious prompts hiding in web data/tools), and not well developed defenses (antivirus, or a lot more developed kernel/user
If you use "AI agents" (LLMs that call tools) you need to be aware of the Lethal Trifecta Any time you combine access to private data with exposure to untrusted content and the ability to externally communicate an attacker can trick the system into stealing your data!
