AI complexity is best addressed with a user-friendly interface. The proposed open-source framework involves using a search engine to embed and chunk content, then running a query to extract important information for generating responses. This combination of search and generative methods is a standard framework. The process can handle massive amounts of context, allowing for more powerful language models. The integration of Lam index retrieves results and extracts structure for the language model to use.
The speaker discusses using a language model to turn the top 100 search results into a knowledge graph. They express curiosity about how to handle search results and the potential for innovation in that area. The speaker mentions an artificial general intelligence paper that demonstrated instructing a chatbot to ask questions and create a mental map of a house. They also mention the idea of using chatbots for extract transfer load activities. The speaker raises concerns about the token limit for chatbots and wonders if layering language models could solve that issue. They discuss the idea of using language models to write SQL queries and how to apply symbolic filters in Weaviate.
The speaker discusses the use of modules, adapters, and repo in the language model, and how to prompt the model to filter searches. They also mention the relationship between folders and directories in the Weaviate code base and how it affects queries. The structure of code bases and workspaces is also discussed, along with the use of symbolic properties and vector search. The speaker expresses interest in fine-tuning and asks about suitable production use cases for learn to rank. The speaker acknowledges their team of engineers who are working on core services and models. Re-ranking results is also mentioned.
At its core, understanding the end user is key. One use case being explored is an embedded search bar on websites that tracks user activity across multiple pages and creates a sequence of activities that can be converted into a specific metric defined by the company. Building a learn-to-rank model that can reorder results based on the propensity to convert aligns with the business goal. There is a relationship between this approach and fine-tuning, which was discussed in a podcast with Erica from Wave Aid Enrollment and Ce from Meta Rank. The use of user features and interaction events in models like x Boost is known, but the digitization of these features and the reliance on content-only-based crossing encode is an interesting topic. One idea is to translate tab features into text-based inputs for transfer learning. This approach involves mapping user actions to unique text sequences that are then processed by a language model and stored in a search engine for sequential inference.
When collecting numerous features, there is a risk of overfitting to specific patterns in the feature vector. Translating the data into text and incorporating user descriptions can be effective in avoiding overfitting. Utilizing a large language model for reasoning and combining it with a high-performance cross encode model can yield fast results. However, there is a need for software layers to make such processes accessible, particularly for training ranking models. Meta rank services offer a comprehensive solution for hosting models, handling data ingestion, model versioning, and validation. The challenges of model versioning, hosting, and refreshing embeddings require careful consideration and innovative approaches. Tooling in the AI space is crucial due to the complexity of productionizing applications, making Weaviate's efforts noteworthy.
There is a lot of interest in API-based companies that help simplify complex processes and this has attracted both market and investor attention. It is uncertain whether there will be a dominant winner among these models, as OpenAI currently seems to be dominating the field. However, some believe that relying on a single model may result in a monopoly-like situation. It is more likely that users will fine-tune their prompts if they are unsatisfied with the answers. The future of AI models is an interesting topic that requires further exploration. It is believed that different niches will emerge, such as domain-specific models and those focused on security. The developer experience and the ability to self-host models are also important considerations. It is possible that OpenAI could become the app store of AI models, while other companies like C here could focus on domain-specific knowledge bases, similar to Salesforce's approach.
Mosaic ML is an impressive company that offers an open-source software business model with managed enterprise hosting. They have a composer library and are cutting the cost of bert training. The language model for custom applications and learning to rank using specific tab features are important in the AI landscape. Hybrid search engines that require original content for re-embedding are becoming more important. The Facebook DP model and open ORC coherent embedding model are potential ideas for updating query embeddings. 80% of cases find the 0 shot model with lexi BMW 25 and hybrid setup to be effective. The future of TFF in BM 25 and string matches in vector searches is uncertain.
Some applications, like Bmw 25, incorporate intent and prompting in search. Task retrieval with instructions and instructor models are used to prompt search in embedding models. One dataset called Argue anna focuses on retrieving counter arguments. The relationship captured in the embedding model is based on semantic similarity. Beer, a benchmark dataset, has better understanding of use cases like "I am not happy" versus "I am happy." There is a need for an academic dataset that captures the evolution of documentation over time. The sequence problem in capturing the evolution of a corpus requires tuning the model using the delta between stages.
The text discusses the importance of using historical data splitting for training and testing in AI models. It also highlights the relevance of building in public and showcasing the steps taken to reach the final product. The benefits of building an audience, receiving feedback, and fostering a strong user base are emphasized. The concept of open source as a content strategy is mentioned, with examples such as Laying Chains. The potential of podcasts to highlight the work of others and incentivize collaboration is also mentioned.
Closed source businesses can have advantages, particularly if they are marketplace businesses or rely on community support. However, managing an open source project can be challenging, especially when it comes to ensuring high availability and guaranteed service level agreements for customers. This is where companies that abstract server architecture, such as Mosaic, play an important role.
There is a company in the AI landscape that focuses on abstracting patterns seen across other companies in order to provide a competitive advantage. They extract file contents while maintaining the structure and offer a search interface that spans all files. The goal is to provide a seamless experience with just two API calls. The ability to spin up an inference engine in a cheap and fast manner is a valuable asset for companies in the ML space. However, it seems that major cloud providers are not targeting the serverless GPU space. Some companies, like Modal and Banana, are abstracting the deployment of models using serverless GPUs. This approach is seen as more efficient and user-friendly compared to traditional methods like Kubernetes.
I have always been interested in Kubernetes and scaling resources for different types of jobs. As I studied deep learning, I became curious about how weights and biases are valued at a billion dollars, as it seemed like hyper parameter logging and tuning. I worked with determined AI and learned about cluster management, realizing that callbacks require different resources than training. Kubernetes can be challenging, but serverless environments offer the ability to have query embedding models running with a simple Python function. One challenge with Kubernetes is the creation and maintenance of the cluster, as well as ensuring consistent state across distributed inference engines. Serverless environments can overcome this challenge by sharing context between servers. As an active software developer, this has always been a challenging aspect for me.
State management is a challenge in server functions and databases. There is discussion about replication consistency and the foundation of distributed systems. The Azure cloud and companies like Ray and Neural Magic are mentioned in relation to GPU management and model compression. The future of models involves reducing their size and making them compatible with commodity hardware. Examples are given of running models on phones and Raspberry Pi without GPUs. Different architectures and hardware influence the decisions made in deep learning. The decision to use large matrix multiplication was influenced by the popularity of GPUs.
In a conversation about machine learning, the speakers discuss the implementation of convolutional kernels and tension matrix multiplication. They also mention the use of GPUs in the ML space and speculate on potential alternatives. One speaker recalls a talk on quantum computers and their potential for calculations. They touch on the fear and uncertainty surrounding AI models taking over, and one speaker advises taking breaks and operating in sprints. They also mention living in a camper van and encourage others to find their own way to disconnect. The conversation ends with a mention of a blog about building a van.
The use of AI in job roles is a concern, as it could potentially replace certain tasks. This may lead to a concentration of power at the top due to increased information control. However, increased productivity is a positive outcome of AI implementation, and once AI models become more accessible, it could level the playing field and provide equal opportunities for all. It is important to strive for equal baseline opportunities while recognizing that there will always be variations in advantage and outcome. Running simulations with reinforcement learning agents can inform policy decisions, and there are various interesting ideas surrounding AI's potential. While AI's complete control over the universe may be a distant possibility, it is definitely advancing. The plug-in marketplace offers impressive use cases, such as AI's ability to solve problems independently and utilize tools, similar to how humans discovered tool usage.
The future of AI could lead to the emergence of a new digital species. Language models could be used in various roles within companies, with different models accessing different information. This could result in companies consisting solely of language models with specific skill sets. The challenge of sequential thinking in chatbots could be overcome by incorporating context from previous states, utilizing layers of large language models and different agents. The possibilities in this field are vast and exciting, akin to a gold rush. Content verification layers and the ability to sample different decoding pathways are also important considerations in the development of AI.
Temperature can be adjusted to generate different outputs from a language model. The model works by decoding through a probability tree, allowing for multiple pathways and generations. Content verification layers are used to filter the outputs. Ethan Steininger discusses the idea of using classifiers to determine if code would compile. He thanks the podcast host and mentions his project Mixpeek and colleague.ai. The conversation touches on the new era of search and innovative ways of thinking about it.
