This blog post from the team @bitcrowd is an outstanding resource for those who want to leverage SOTA embeddings with bumblebee. Easily the highest value resource I've seen on the subject yet. This post in particular covers the path from zero to Jina v2

My favorite podcast of 2024! @peterg021 absolutely levels the pod with such a unique blend of business and machine learning from his experience in product. Thanks for sharing in such detail, this content stretched me in a few dimensions 🤯.

I had trouble converting Mistral 8B Pro to GGUF format recently so I recorded a short how-to for llama-cpp n00bs like myself. Check it out! 👇

The next version of bumblebee is out and it's working great with Mistral 7B from HF using bf16 OOTB. It's great to see the platform moving forward with loads of improvements!

Easily the most valuable, grounded and applicable podcast of the year for me. Jump ahead to 39:22 for the recommendation system pro-tips that include upstream tuning around retrieval and ranking. Pure gold from @BEBischof.

🆕 pod: with @BEBischof of @_hex_tech!. On putting AI Magic into Notebooks, and how RAG is actually a recommendation systems problem. Also an @AAAzzam hot take: LLMOps is more like an "iron mine" than a "gold rush"!
