Replying to:

Here's all the X links if you want to follow up from the thread: We had the @propheticai folks do a breaking news segment and covered their ultrasonic transformer 🧠 to put you in the state of lucid dreaming! twitter.com/PropheticAI/status/1750534355242418300

My friend @iScienceLuvr first appearance on ThursdAI was an incredible one, he co-authored the super 🔥 HourGlass Diffusion Transformers paper with @RiversHaveWings @StefanABaumann @Birchlabs @DanielZKaplan and another friend of the pod @EnricoShippole and gave a great deep dive twitter.com/iScienceLuvr/status/1749624496770973816?s=20

Tanishq also had some separate news, he published research with @MedARC_AI on which open source LLMs are the best doctors, and turns out... Qwen-72B is the best open source doctor 👏 Kudos @JustinLin610 and folks twitter.com/MedARC_AI/status/1750506121545359862?s=20

We also had @vikhyatk talk to use about the super tiny vision enabled model called MoonDream and we chatted about why it's on Phi 1 and not 2, and also BREAKING NEWS, Phi 1.5 was ALSO MIT licensed recently! 👏 twitter.com/vikhyatk/status/1748831249198924057

Chatted about Fuyu and Fuyu Heavy from @AdeptAILabs and how it seems that no matter which lab does multimodal VLMs, datasets are hard to come by! twitter.com/AdeptAILabs/status/1750215532597665849

We were just a second too late to cover the new @OpenAI news, but since it's my job to give you the latest and greatest, here's the summary from all the new OpenAI stuff from today twitter.com/altryne/status/1750592326563500211

Google has been featured VERY prominently today, first with Chrome AI announcements twitter.com/sundarpichai/status/1749849297800266035?s=20

Then of course with this insane video creation model called LUMIERE from all the fine folks (let's see if I can tag them all) @omerbartal @omer_tov @Roni_Paiss @ShiranZada @arielephrat @JunhwaHur @oliver_wang2 @DeqingSun @talidekel @InbarMosseri and @hila_chefer ✨ twitter.com/hila_chefer/status/1749972797537796353?s=20

And finally @nisten brought us breaking news that our friends at @huggingface ( @_philschmid ) and Google announced a partnership! 🤗 We Love to see the big G stepping into open source 👏 twitter.com/_philschmid/status/1750520073402630428

We also mentioned @FireworksAI_HQ newly released FireLLaVa which is the first commercially available LLaVa model 👏 Great job folks, love to see this twitter.com/lqiao/status/1748243039766925351?s=20

@FireworksAI_HQ was also featured prominently along side @togethercompute and other how shall we say... competitors? at the newly launched LLM provider leaderboard by @withmartian . Great resource that I promptly bookmarked and will check often twitter.com/withmartian/status/1750618191800488418

In the @weights_biases corner (which I call This weeks Buzz 🐝🪄 and explain this pun on the show) we had a great announcement from @jxnlco about his course with WandB about structured outputs for LLMs engineering. It's free! Check it out here: wandb.courses/courses/steering-language-models?utm_source=thursdai&utm_medium=referal&utm_campaign=jan-25

We covered a bunch more stuff, and if you want ALL the show notes, make sure you're subscribed to @thursdai_pod here: thursdai.news/jan-24
