Diffusion models have been successful in image and video generation, and now, they can generate high-performing neural network parameters. By using an autoencoder and a latent diffusion model, our method extracts representations of trained network parameters, synthesizes them from noise, and generates new representations that outperform or match trained networks. Surprisingly, the generated models perform […]

Setting up VS Code for Ruby on Rails development can be challenging, so this article aims to simplify the process. The author has created a VS Code Extension Pack containing all the necessary extensions for quick setup. The extensions are grouped into language servers, other LSPs, formatters/linters, and ERB formatters and language tools. The author […]
ASML has become the world’s largest maker of fab tools, surpassing Applied Materials, with revenues of $29.83 billion compared to Applied’s $26.52 billion in calendar 2023. Analyst Dan Nystedt notes that ASML’s financial year follows the calendar year, while Applied Materials’s 2023 financial year ended in October 2023. This achievement by ASML is notable due […]
Vector databases are essential for AI-driven applications, transforming complex data like words and images into numerical formats for semantic understanding. Traditional databases struggle with handling the multidimensional vectors generated by machine learning models, making specialized solutions like Meilisearch necessary. By enabling similarity searches based on distance measurements between vectors, Meilisearch enhances user experiences in various […]

A list of unexpected things named after people includes familiar names like Larry Page and Glen Bell, as well as more obscure references like Lew Cirne and Henricus Wallace Westlake. Surprising suggestions like Snowflake, AZ, and German chocolate cake by Samuel German keep things interesting. As the list continues to grow, additions such as Brown […]
On February 20, 2024, an optimization glitch caused LLMs to generate nonsensical responses due to incorrect number selection in language processing. The bug affected GPU configurations, leading to confusing word sequences. After detecting the issue, a fix was implemented to resolve the problem successfully.
Google recently released Gemini Pro 1.5, a groundbreaking upgrade to their series of AI models, boasting a context size of 1,000,000 tokens—far surpassing previous models like Claude 2.1 and gpt-4-turbo. The most exciting feature is the ability to use video as input, yielding impressive results even with complex footage like a fast-paced, partially obscured bookshelf […]
The author reflects on the evolving landscape of generative AI models, noting the distinction between frontier models and commodity models. Frontier models, like those from OpenAI and Google, are becoming increasingly expensive to train, with funding primarily coming from cloud providers and big tech companies. The author questions whether cloud providers are king-making a select […]
In February 2024, Polli, et al. published RFC 9512, registering the application/yaml media type and the +yaml structured syntax suffix with IANA. This document aims to increase interoperability and content negotiation when exchanging YAML streams and resources. It also provides security considerations related to YAML, especially regarding potential arbitrary code execution and resource exhaustion issues […]
