    > But isn't it true for JavaScript too? You're right, the equivalent JS script produces the same sequence of outputs. It turns out there is a way to emulate Python's asyncio.create…

    ChatGPT Plus has that (used to be in the free tier too). You can toggle between versions for each of your messages with little left-right arrows.

    I’m confused by the clustering step: > To find the most informative examples, we separately cluster examples labeled clickbait and examples labeled benign, which yields some overla…

    It’s interesting that they decided to move all of the architecture-specific image-to-embedding preprocessing into a separate library. Similar to how we ended up with the huggingfac…

    This seems to be a system to generate better prompts to be fed into a base multimodal model. Interesting, but title is definitely clickbait.

    You could run the build process with chroot or inside Docker, so that the hardcoded paths actually resolve to a designated subdirectory.

    “Fill in the gaps by using context” is the hard part. You can’t pre-bake the context into an LLM because it doesn’t exist yet. It gets created through the endless back-and-forth be…

    If the base models already have the “reasoning” capability, as they claim, then it’s not surprising that they were able to get to SOTA using a relatively negligible amount of compu…

    The HN submission title is editorialized in a non-helpful way. Why beat a dead horse instead of focusing on what’s actually new in TFA? The linked paper proposes an obvious-in-retr…

    The repo contains only the PDF, not actual runnable code for the RL training pipeline. Publishing a high-level description of the training algorithm is good, but it doesn't count a…

    Nice approach! I'm intrigued by the ability to start execution from a particular task. One thing I like about LangGraph is the declarative state merging. In the MapReduce example, …

    Actually, there have been attempts to do quantized backprop, but not sure how successfully.

    I’m not sure about the Speed chart. I would expect gpt-4-turbo to be faster than plain gpt-4.
