Full movies by the end of this year
See how @heavypulp made a trailer worthy of the big screen with this powerful new model:

Carmack is awesome
John Carmack on what he admires about Elon Musk
Programming legend John Carmack is asked about his relationship with Elon Musk, to which he replies:
“In some ways we have a similar background. We’re almost exactly the same age, have backgrounds programming personal computers, and have even read similar books that have turned us into the people we are today.”
John first met Elon when he was building Armadillo Aerospace. Elon visited Armadillo with his right-hand propulsion guy, and the three of them talked about rockets.
“I think in many corners [Elon] does not get the respect he should for being a wealthy person who could just retire,” John says. “He went all-in, and he could’ve gone bust. There’s plenty of athletes or entertainers who had all the money in the world and blew it. [Elon] could’ve been the business case example of that with the things he was doing: space exploration, electrification of transportation, and Solar City type things. These are big, world-level things. And I have a great deal of admiration that he was willing to throw himself so completely into that.”
John contrasts this with the way he approached his own aerospace company:
“I was doing Armadillo Aerospace in this tightly-bounded way. It was ‘John’s crazy money’ at the time that had a finite limit on it. It was never going to impact me or my family if it completely failed, and I was still hedging my bets working at id Software at a time when [Elon] had been really all-in. I have a huge amount of respect for that.”
It also irritates John when people call Elon “just a business guy”:
“Elon was deeply involved in a lot of the [technical] decisions. Not all of them were perfect, but he cared very much about engine material selection and propellant selection. For years he’d be telling me to ‘Get off that hydrogen peroxide stuff. Liquid oxygen is the only proper oxidizer for this.’ And the times that I’ve gone through the factories with him, we talked about very detailed things like how this weld is made or how this subassembly goes together. He’s really in there a very detailed level . . . I worry a lot that he’s stretched too thin. He’s got the Boring Company and Neuralink and Twitter too whereas I know I have limits on how much I can pay attention to.”
John continues:
“I look back at my aerospace side of things, and I’m like, ‘I did not go all-in on that.’ I did not commit myself at a level that it would’ve taken to be successful there. And it’s a weird thing having a discussion with him. He’s the richest man in the world right now, but he operates on a level that is still very much in my wheelhouse on the technical side of things.”

Today I’m humbled to announce an epoch-defining event: the launch of the 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.

When Elon walked into my office in 2010, this is why I immediately liked him.
This is why I invested in every company he started from that moment forward:
He’s been space obsessed since childhood.
He put his own money on the line before approaching investors.
He knew where he was headed and was willing to sleep on factory floors to get there.
He wasn’t asking for permission to go to space… He was letting investors know that he was headed in that direction and asked if they’d like a ride.
Investors want to see a deep personal connection to the problem, a proven ability to execute in that domain and a clear vision while remaining flexible on tactics.

we planned to launch our open-weight model next week.
we are delaying it; we need time to run additional safety tests and review high-risk areas. we are not yet sure how long it will take us.
while we trust the community will build great things with this model, once weights are out, they can’t be pulled back. this is new for us and we want to get it right.
sorry to be the bearer of bad news; we are working super hard!

Chromatic is back.
(posting from the hospital, I am going to ship this if it is the last thing I do)

whoa so @thinkymachines is doing model merging + customized RL
quite a come-up for merging in the past couple weeks, with @arcee_ai mergekit also featuring heavily in AFM.
credit due to @jeremyphoward for being the first to make me take modelmerging seriously

Haven't seen enough people talking about this model. It's an open-source Suno
Orbital Software Solutions Inc. retweeted
Here's a Keras-inspired framework for creating applications as DAGs of trainable LLM-based components. You can define sophisticated pipelines and start fine-tuning with RL in a few lines.
Exciting to see the kind of new programming paradigms LLMs enable!

This is interesting as a first large diffusion-based LLM.
Most of the LLMs you've been seeing are ~clones as far as the core modeling approach goes. They're all trained "autoregressively", i.e. predicting tokens from left to right. Diffusion is different - it doesn't go left to right, but all at once. You start with noise and gradually denoise into a token stream.
Most of the image / video generation AI tools actually work this way and use Diffusion, not Autoregression. It's only text (and sometimes audio!) that have resisted. So it's been a bit of a mystery to me and many others why, for some reason, text prefers Autoregression, but images/videos prefer Diffusion. This turns out to be a fairly deep rabbit hole that has to do with the distribution of information and noise and our own perception of them, in these domains. If you look close enough, a lot of interesting connections emerge between the two as well.
All that to say that this model has the potential to be different, and possibly showcase new, unique psychology, or new strengths and weaknesses. I encourage people to try it out!

If you have a solid strategy and a small amount of compute, you can go pretty far. If you have huge clusters of GPUs and no strategy, your only achievement will be burning capital.

🎄🎅starting tomorrow at 10 am pacific, we are doing 12 days of openai.
each weekday, we will have a livestream with a launch or demo, some big ones and some stocking stuffers.
we’ve got some great stuff to share, hope you enjoy! merry christmas.

Not fully sure why all the LLMs sound about the same - over-using lists, delving into “multifaceted” issues, over-offering to assist further, about same length responses, etc. Not something I had predicted at first because of many independent companies doing the finetuning.

Fascists
NEWS: Australia wants to fine internet platforms up to 5% of their global revenue for failing to prevent the spread of so-called misinformation online.
Opposition James Paterson said: “Australians' legitimately-held political beliefs should not be censored by either the government, or by foreign social media platforms.”
The legislation will be introduced in parliament today.
