We’ll never build #AI that truly learns until we break out of the old software dev life cycle + realize that #ML models demand a brand new process that understands the highly iterative nature of #DataScience. We call it the Machine Learning Loop: bit.ly/3r3VORv

Why? Because the web is a mess. And websites are fundamentally built for human consumption. If you want to automate everything that a human can do with a browser, then you have to perceive like a human. Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks!

Today, we’re excited to announce our $150M Series D, led by BOND, with Jay Simons joining our Board. We’re also thrilled to welcome Conviction and CapitalG to the round, alongside support from 01 Advisors, IVP, Spark Capital, Greylock Partners, Scribble Ventures, and Premji Invest. The last eighteen months have been a whirlwind; as the AI application layer has taken off, we've been proud to play a small part supporting world class companies run their production workloads. Thanks to all our customers including Abridge, Bland, Clay, Gamma, Mirage, OpenEvidence, Sourcegraph, WRITER, and Zed Industries. We’re just getting started. If you’re building the next generation of AI products, we’d love to work with you.

OpenAI launched GPT-4 Turbo today. It’s incredible: - 128k token context window. 300 pages of a book 🚀 - More control. GPT-4 will respond with valid JSON, and can call multiple functions - Better knowledge. THE API NOW COMES WITH RETRIEVAL built in. And knowledge cutoff is now April 2023. - Multi-modal: DALLE, text to speech, and vision are in the API.

I collaborated with the @LabelStudioHQ folks to do a quick and simple example for fine-tuning LLM applications - in example, creating a tunable chat bot for your GitHub repo. Check out the blog and the code! labelstud.io/blog/from-found…

No More GIL! the Python team has officially accepted the proposal. Congrats @colesbury on his multi-year brilliant effort to remove the GIL, and a heartfelt thanks to the Python Steering Council and Core team for a thoughtful plan to make this a reality. discuss.python.org/t/a-steer…

Walmart used an LLM (PaLM-2) generated embeddings for their DLRM to make product search better on walmart.com They are about to push this out into their live website because the results were so good. Noteworthy other firms have already done this such as Google

Looks like you can use GPT-4 to bootstrap NLP labeling projects. Check out my blog in @TDataScience towardsdatascience.com/boots…

I wrote a new blog on how to use GPT-4 to label data. Check it out!
For a novel (and potentially cost-effective) approach to data labeling, @JimmyMWhitaker proposes bootstrapping the process with the aid of GPT-4. buff.ly/3Nm9V1O

🚀 Had a blast collaborating with the @LabelStudioHQ team on data labeling for fine-tuning #LLM. We're using the @carperai trlX library, and we've got an interactive Colab Notebook ready for you to fine-tune your own RL model.🔍👩‍💻 labelstud.io/blog/create-a-h…

They built ChatGPT into the Carrot weather app and it’s easily the snarkiest, sassiest AI chatbot around 😭
