[Ride Home] Simon Willison: Things we learned about LLMs in 2024 - Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast The podcast by and for AI Engineers! In 2023, over 1 million visitors came to Latent Space to hear about news, papers and interviews in Software 3.0. We cover Foundation Models changing every domain ...

I've listened to a few summaries of AI in 2024, and predictions for 2025. This is the best one (so far). Thanks @latent.space, and extra thanks for making me add a new podcast to my list.

Sounds awesome! If I wasn't already in NYC for the @latent.space AI Eng Summit, I would try to be in SF for this.

This interesting chart by @latent.space says that AI performance is proportional to log(money) -- which means that investing more money in compute is a lot less efficient than investing in making a better algorithm, which is what DeepSeek did (full post: www.latent.space/p/reasoning-... )

Crazy stat in the latest @latent.space newletter:

Llama 3.2 1B (Sep'24) matches Llama 2 13B (July'23) score on the LMSYS chatbot arena rankings.

That's a 1 billion parameter Llama model going head-to-head with roughly 1 year older model that's 13 times larger.

Did you listen to the @latentspacepod.bsky.social podcast with lindy.ai creator ? He talks about this and how having the control flow not be an llm improves accuracy and makes them usable for a lot of tasks otherwise very complicated to describe solely with prompts.

How to Run a Weekly Paper Club (and Build a Learning Community) Benefits of running a weekly paper club, how to start one, and how to read and facilitate papers.

Over the past 18 month, the @latentspacepod.bsky.social paper club has had an unbroken streak of hosting EVERY SINGLE WEEK. We gained technical knowledge + insider know-how, built friendships, and grown a community of learners.

Here's how to start your own paper club

The new Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Computer Use, and Building SOTA Agents — with Erik Schluntz, Anthropic Anthropic recently scored a huge win on OpenAI's turf by achieving SOTA on -their- SWE-Bench Verified benchmark, using an upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet. For the first time, they spill the beans.

If interested in the topic, I recommend listening to the
@latentspacepod.bsky.social podcast with Erik Shultz from Anthropic as the guest. Erik was heavily involved (led?) in achieving the leap in the SWE-bench score.

Weight streaming might work well on GPUs! I wonder why it isn't a thing...

Oh man, writing up the Cerebras paper on Weight Streaming was a rabbit hole filled with parallel algorithms.
