By me for @hackster_io, "Benchmarking TensorFlow and TensorFlow Lite on Raspberry Pi 5." The big take away from these new benchmarks is that the Raspberry Pi 5 has similar performance when using TensorFlow Lite to the Coral TPU, displaying essentially the same inferencing speed as Google's accelerator hardware. #ML #TinyML #AI #TensorFlow #RaspberryPi #CoralTPU https://www.hackster.io/news/benchmarking-tensorflow-and-tensorflow-lite-on-raspberry-pi-5-b9156d58a6a2

The benchmark code is now available on @github. The repository includes all the resources needed to reproduce the benchmarking results, including models, code for all the tested platforms, and the test imagery used. https://github.com/aallan/benchmarking-ml-on-the-edge

MozillaAI,

Over the past few months at @MozillaAI we engaged with a number of organizations to learn how they are using language models in practice.

We spoke with 35 organizations across sectors like finance, government, startups, and large enterprises.

Our interviewees ranged from engineers to CTOs, capturing a diverse range of perspectives.

Our interview summary notes for the 35 conversations amounted to 18,481 words (approximately 24,600 tokens), almost the length of a novella.

Lobrien,

This is a very nice video on understanding attention in transformers https://www.3blue1brown.com/lessons/attention

The open source debate in #ML ( #AI ) is absolutely irrelevant unless all the training data are also made open. Tech reporters are getting lost again because #ML vendors are misleading them. #LLM #MLsec

@cigitalgem Indeed, and by the way, there is a current effort from @osi to define what is #opensource #ai and some people are pointing out that the data must be released as well:

@cigitalgem And the training data can't be made open because it's all stolen, full of copyright infringement and GDPR violations, ntm CSAM.

The entire tech industry has stepped up from petty disruption lawbreaking to full on mafia level shit.

Fox appoints self to guard chicken house.

"As OpenAI trains its new model, its new Safety and Security committee will work to hone policies and processes for safeguarding the technology, the company said. The committee includes Mr. Altman, as well as OpenAI board members Bret Taylor, Adam D’Angelo and Nicole Seligman. The company said that the new policies could be in place in the late summer or fall."

@cigitalgem the implication is there was no safety/security committee or policies until now, which tracks

@pinsk they disbanded it not too long ago actually

When you choose to use an #ML #LLM foundation model, you accept the risk management decisions made by the vendor without your input. Wonder what they are? Read this #MLsec paper from #IEEE computer.

Wonder how the goverment should regulate LLMs? Here's how.

Earlier today, Microsoft released new WizardLM-2 7b, 8x22b, 70b with great benchmark result, (of course, they say as good or almost same as GPT-4), but they removed weights on Huggingface, repo on Github, and their whitepaper. Someone on Reddit joked maybe they released GPT-4 by mistake! lol Quantized. weights from other people are still around on Huggingface!

@chikim Also, I think we talked about this before, I cannot justify 20 USD per month for either Copilot pro or Chat GPT. They really need to try harder or just lower the price. Make it a Spotify, for example! :)

@vick21 @chikim Chat GPT Plus isn't worth it, you can just load up on $6 of developer credits and use an altertnative interface to GPT-4. I'm a fan of the commandline LLLM (https://github.com/simonw/llm), but GUIs do exist. Copilot for VS Code is another matter entirely, I get it for free via the Github Student pack, to which I have access, but I'd probably pay up if I needed to.

Nice to see data lakes released...but what we need are data oceans. This new dataset is off by many orders of magnitude. Humans have a hard time with trillions...

mempko,

I don't think the tech nerds out there understand how upsetting generative AI is to artists. Not because it will replace them, but because there will be a generation of soulless creation devoid of humanity.

Also, how many children are looking at the progress and thinking 'what's the point of becoming an artist?'. Or how many school directors are thinking 'what's the point of a fine art budget'.

@mempko on the second paragraph, i think you’re a little backwards on what draws children to art. i can say fairly authoritatively that 8yo’s aren’t yet thinking about the finer points of what it takes to become a full time artist 😊

i doubt anyone, even adults, were ever drawn to art because they thought it was easy money. i can’t imagine schools ever invested in art because they believed they were setting students up with high paying jobs

I don't believe we can filter our way out of drinking a polluted ocean of training data. https://www.techtarget.com/searchEnterpriseAI/news/366574580/Microsoft-hires-DeepMind-co-founder-amid-Google-Apple-news

"The issue is that [Google] trained up the [Gemini] foundation model on the polluted ocean and now they're trying to stop the pollution from getting out with a filter, and that doesn't work," he said. "These models were built by drinking a data ocean without cleaning it first. And we have to do better than that." And Microsoft has the same problem, he added. #MLsec #ML #AI #LLM

espadrine,

@cigitalgem I believe it too.

Some counterargue that training on Nazi content allows it to recognize it so that it can be finetuned not to be a Nazi. But it seems to me that making its output match anti-Nazi speech is more effective than making it match Nazi speech.

Lobrien,

Prompt "engineering" boils my blood. Can you imagine if you were working on a stream prediction system and the quality of the output depended on prepending a stream of magic numbers? You'd disdain anyone claiming that was a sustainable solution for a business. (I mean, I can imagine it, because that's exactly the kind of crap you see in consulting.) #ML

seniorfrosk,

@cigitalgem From the interview, can we conclude that Cigital was not called Cigital when you joined?

seniorfrosk,

@cigitalgem Interesting, I did not realize Synopsis was getting out of #swsec
