I'm curious about the economics of these. who funds these endeavors and why? who makes the decision on spending $X for quality of life improvement on a hornbill vs saving a few rhinos.

because in a world where you see humans without basic stuff to live with, this is a fascinating economic alignment with a different species

in india.

we have people using it for, routing a ticket, classifying intent, deciding whether something is urgent, or rating severity.

Architecture - 12B Gemma fine-tuned to score options. since it is gemma based it has multimodality built in - When there are >120 labels, we have a 150M retriever that narrows them to a shortlist (recall@16 is 0.9–1.0 on our evals), and the 12B model scores that shortlist. - Context goes up to 49k tokens, with up to 8 images per request.

we have open sourced it,

model: https://huggingface.co/parsecai/tod API: https://parseclab.ai/tod

We are working on getting the RL environments to finetune for custom use cases.

would love to hear your opinions on this.

I take creatine daily but when I'm working out more than a couple of weeks, i feel much better than on weeks when I skip working out.

on my local benchmarks and my personal problems gemma works very well. but training a new attention head for better results in narrow domains should be much easier.

how can one exist in modern society without being an exchange value in the capitalist political economy?

linux is where it is because it is able to be a critical part of said capitalist political economy. even if you want to be a FOSS contributor all your life, you need someone to figure out the "economy" part of it.

food is a false equivalence in this case.

look these up for a fascinating weekend read:

- Beavers and Capybaras are Fish

- Bees are Fish

- Carrots are fruits

- Tomatoes are Vegetables

- X-men are not human

we'll know when the next layoffs hit.

- they follow instructions quite well.

- are tireless at doing mechanical ports between languages and frameworks.

- Can understand a new ecosystem quite well.

do you mean,

> All things AI seems to assume that more and faster is better, but there is no justification of that assumption.

is good argument?

of course faster discovery without human in the loop is better. is that not what humans have been optimizing for the past few thousand years ? faster mobility, faster communication, faster medical recovery etc. everything modern civilization has to offer is because of a rush to get better and faster. for example, discovering penicillin 2 years early would've saved ~15 million people more.

why is that not worthy enough to pursue?

why is that a concern in this context? would you have asked the same about steam engines and horses?

this is a really cool concept, organized very well. and that is very commendable.

if you spend cycles on nitty gritty opinions like this time to market goes out further and further out. some napkin math, 130 gen13 servers cost "only" ~$2.6M. relative to the importance of the 1.1.1.1 and the market at the time. that is nothing to cloudflare.

this is not to say good system design does not matter. it very much does, but making that call at that time would've butchered the prodcut very much similar to google+, youtube etc.
