Exploring the Cutting Edge: Key Trends in the LLM and Generative AI Developer Community

July 27, 2023 · 3 minutes · 2 photos

Key trends shaping practical LLM development today: democratizing AI with Skyglass, LEDITS, and lean tools; automating workflows (Watto AI, Autonomous Finance); customizing experiences (ai-jsx, Talk to Merlin); multimodal and knowledge-synthesis (Decoupage, System Pro); and responsible AI (Privacy.ai, BlindBox), while tackling data, infra, and prompt-engineering challenges.

Architecture Maestro from Now On

March 22, 2023 · 3 minutes

Architectural maestro mode with GPT-4: I fed 20-year NAS Ruby scripts (rsync + Glacier) and asked to extract EXIF, reverse geocode, and index data per folder. GPT-4 rewrote, added gems, fixed version issue, parallelized IO, added a progress bar and mutex handling; it ran in ~30s and saved a day.

AI assisted blog images

AI-assisted blog images: Boris Johnson pulls out of Britain's leadership race, saying he has enough MPs to advance but far fewer than frontrunner Rishi Sunak. Our process uses GPT-3 and Stable Diffusion to render a distant, long-lens image of a suited man before the Houses of Parliament.

Is this a photo of a doing his business? Or just a dog hanging out?
My dog Kona has a nasty habit of doing her business in a very particular spot in the upstairs of our house. Using this model, I'll be able to aim a
camera at that spot and send a text alert whenever she does this, so I'll have a better chance of correcting the bad behavior in the moment, which is
essential to training a dog.

My first deep learning model: Doo Doo Detective

September 26, 2022 · 3 minutes · 2 photos

I built and deployed end-to-end DL image recognizer to detect when Kona is doing her business. Using FastAI, I fine-tuned ResNet-18 on 100s of images, tested with a confusion matrix, iterated, and launched a Gradio app on Hugging Face in ~2 hours. DALL-E 2 for dog-poop data is blocked.

Stable Diffusion Test

September 08, 2022 · 1 minute · 4 photos

Want to add photos to a post? Use the blogging software I’ve long wanted: select the description and click 'stable diffusion' to auto-insert a stable-diffusion tag and handle it for you. Example: photo of a puppy jumping through a muddy pond, nikon d50, 100mm, bokeh. Awesome results—thanks, rainbow tag.

For fun, I'm creating the blogging software I've always wanted. One aspect is the idea of enabling
handwritten posts and beautiful visuals for the photos without much (any?) effort. It's a work in
progress, but here are some examples so far.
The editor looks like this:
Pretty simple, but also powerful.
