Meet DBRX, a new sota open llm from @databricks. It's a 132B MoE with 36B active params trained from scratch on 12T tokens. It sets a new bar on all the standard benchmarks, and - as an MoE - inference is blazingly fast. Simply put, it's the model your data has been waiting for.

Probably the thing I’m most excited about with DBRX, it’s super fast! Easily 150 tokens/s for quality comparable to much slower closed models.

I’ve definitely had some quality coding sessions in some of those Twitter lounge chairs. Wouldn’t buy one though because of bad energy.

I just had some tasty Taiwan Grouper Fish last week. Throw some in your hot pot.

Taiwan’s got it all under control, guys. Nothing to worry about at all.

This kind of baked in data lineage is where I originally hoped to get to building EagleEye at twitter 10 years ago. cc @feng youtube.com/watch?v=8wGUnXhI…

So… Be the person to ask the dumb question. Be the person who admits they don’t know the answer. Be the person who chooses to walk a path they suspect might lead to failure.

This is unfortunately not an anomaly. The most unethical thing I was asked to do was shortly after becoming head of Vine. I haven’t spoken publicly about this out of embarrassment and fear of retribution, but probably better overall for the universe to air out these mistakes…

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter. 🧵

My key professional strength is being able to type a question in the time between "any questions?" and "I guess not, thanks for watching".

My memory has been terrible lately. Not sure if it’s from covid burnout or covid covid.
A tiny oil and gas facility in Texas spewed methane into the atmosphere with the same earth-warming power as burning seven tanker trucks of gasoline every day. It was one of 533 so-called “super emitters” found in the biggest U.S. oil field. apne.ws/icMwglN

LENORAH, Texas (AP) — To the naked eye, the Mako Compressor Station outside the dusty West Texas crossroads of Lenorah appears unremarkable, similar to tens of thousands of oil and gas operations...

Late to the party on this, but it really is strange not being able to smell anything. Like coffee is just bitter hot water. Hope it comes back soon.

My Datong steamer just short circuited with a pop and I was like did that just happen? I can’t smell anything burning. Totally burnt inside the wire.

A wok of grated ginger and green onion for Hainan chicken? I can just barely smell it. I’m realizing how I intuitively use smell to judge temperature. Can’t smell it, must be cold. But it’s not!
