Also LoRAs transfer for the same arch between distilled versions. For example, a lora for Flux-dev1 works to a certain extent for Flux-Schnell (qualitative eyeballing).

(is that a subset of ur case?)

You could scale it to more authors. Then, feed a piece from a new author (discourse, news piece, tweet) & see where it lies in the embedding space of the trained authors.

As a scholar, I feel compelled to disclose that I heard about "hardware-driven curriculum learning" from Abhinav Gupta ~2016 ๐Ÿ˜…. He became a father around that time & shared how that experience motivated/reinforced his interest in Robotics.

And yet, natureโ€™s pre-training & self-replication ๐Ÿงฌ remain far ahead of any AI/ML model weโ€™ve built.

Bio-inspired AI should lean toward hardware-aware, energy-efficient curriculum learning. Every computing device should grow its own intelligence & share it (for replication purposes)

@tkipf.bsky.social opened the discussion (๐Ÿฆ) about ways to go in AI development from his experience as a father ๐Ÿ‘ช๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿผ

Similar experience & I'd recommend anyone in AI/ML (especially those trained after the deep learning revolution) to observe & reflect on kids (or animals) early development ๐Ÿ‘ถ

Hi friends! I made a computer vision feed that was missing on Bluesky.

You can find it here: bsky.app/profile/did:.... Pin it to your profile if you like it. ๐Ÿ˜‰

It filters relevant posts based on regular expressions. But to make sure that your post is included in the feed, add the #skyvision tag.

the past few weekends here and there spread through a few months have been fun for me. i vibe-coded and along the way learned various services that enable one to rapidly deploy a trial version of a web service.

an awsome era for software development!

A common confusion I'm seeing is people mixing levels of analysis wrt neural nets: we understand the implementation level well and the algorithmic level somewhat but not the computational level of "how does it internally compute things."

I gave a talk today at The Curve on the state of open models.
Here are the slides, recording soon.

Topics include: Chinese ecosystem, reflections on DeepSeek, the demise of Llama, who will fill the U.S. market, what local models do, ATOM project & ai2, and more topics

The state of LLMs is messy: Some AI features (like vision) lag others (like tool use) while others have blind spots (imagegen and clocks). And the expensive "heavy thinking" models are now very far ahead of all the other AIs that most people use, capable of real work

None of this is well-documented
