I recently came across Dorik, an AI website builder that uses artificial intelligence to generate an entire website in seconds based on a single text prompt. With Dorik, anyone can create a professional-looking website without design or coding knowledge. As someone who has extensively used popular website-building platforms like WordPress and Webflow, I was intrigued by Dorik's user-friendly ap ..read more

Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized the field of natural language processing (NLP) by demonstrating remarkable capabilities in generating human-like text, answering questions, and assisting with a wide range of language-related tasks. At the core of these powerful models lies the decoder-only transformer architecture, a variant of the original transformer architecture proposed in the seminal paper “Attention is All You Need” by Vaswani et al. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the inner workings of decoder-based LLMs, delving into the fundamental building blocks, archit ..read more

The advancements in large language models have significantly accelerated the development of natural language processing, or NLP. The introduction of the transformer framework proved to be a milestone, facilitating the development of a new wave of language models, including OPT and BERT, which exhibit profound linguistic understanding. Furthermore, the inception of GPT, or Generative Pre-trained Transformer models, introduced a new paradigm with autoregressive modeling and established a robust method for language prediction and generation. The advent of language models like GPT-4, ChatGPT, Mix ..read more

Enterprises today are increasingly exploring ways to leverage large language models (LLMs) to boost productivity and create intelligent applications.

Enter Snowflake Arctic – a state-of-the-art LLM purposefully designed and optimized for core enterprise use cases. Developed by the AI research team at Snowflake, Arctic pushes the boundaries of what's possible with efficient training, cost-effectiveness, and an unparalleled level of opennes ..read more

It is clear that artificial intelligence is disrupting every industry as we know it. This includes not only the sectors that have garnered the most attention — such as SaaS, fintech, healthtech, and travel — but also traditionally heavy industries that are ripe for disruption.  As an industrial AI-oriented investor, I have witnessed how many companies in the field are increasingly embracing automation and data-driven decision-making, and how their approach may vary based on both what the corporation needs and the resources they have available.  In this piece, I will discuss various o ..read more

Over the past six decades, operating systems have evolved progressively, advancing from basic systems to the complex and interactive operating systems that power today's devices. Initially, operating systems served as a bridge between the binary functionality of computer hardware, such as gate manipulation, and user-level tasks. Over the years, however, they have developed from simple batch job processing systems to more sophisticated process management techniques, including multitasking and time-sharing. These advancements have enabled modern operating systems to manage a wide array of comple ..read more

AI rapidly transforms industries by optimizing processes, enhancing data analytics and creating smarter, more efficient systems. Traditionally, the insurance sector determines pricing by manually analyzing various factors — including coverage type — to calculate risk and set premiums. Imagine harnessing AI’s power to sift through massive datasets more accurately and efficiently. It promises faster service and potentially fairer pricing for policyholders. This shift could revolutionize how insurers calculate premiums to make the process more transparent and tailored to individual risk profiles ..read more

Microsoft has introduced Phi-3, a new family of small language models (SLMs) that aim to deliver high performance and cost-effectiveness in AI applications. These models have shown strong results across benchmarks in language comprehension, reasoning, coding, and mathematics when compared to models of similar and larger sizes. The release of Phi-3 expands the options available to developers and businesses looking to leverage AI while balancing efficiency and cost. Phi-3 Model Family and Availability The first model in the Phi-3 lineup is Phi-3-mini, a 3.8B parameter model now available on Azur ..read more

Meta has recently released Llama 3, the next generation of its state-of-the-art open source large language model (LLM). Building on the foundations set by its predecessor, Llama 3 aims to enhance the capabilities that positioned Llama 2 as a significant open-source competitor to ChatGPT, as outlined in the comprehensive review in the article Llama 2: A Deep Dive into the Open-Source Challenger to ChatGPT. In this article we will discuss the core concepts behind Llama 3, explore its innovative architecture and training process, and provide practical guidance on how to access, use, and deploy th ..read more
