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.

We're launching two comprehensive online courses on building and using Large Language Models! The first is on using LLMs in applications, covering topics like prompt engineering, embeddings, chains, and MLOps. The second teaches you to build your own LLMs.

So…
Be the person to ask the dumb question.

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…

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

White men will never stop implying that people who aren't white men don't have "merit".
Diversity shouldn't "override" merit in hiring decisions, says Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman. And he tells @emilychangtv other CEOs agree with this privately, despite what they may say publicly trib.al/hGQq58K

absolutely essential (&scathing) reading on big problems facing canada's startup scene. the piece basically boils down to a critique of canada's conservative business/investor culture.
the question is: is it inherently conservative, or is it just early?
