  • Interviewing Tim Dettmers on open-source AI: Agents, scaling, quantization and what's next

    Interviewing Tim Dettmers on open-source AI: Agents, scaling, quantization and what's next
    2024/11/07
    Tim Dettmers does not need an introduction for most people building open-source AI. If you are part of that minority, you’re in for a treat. Tim is the lead developer behind most of the open-source tools for quantization: QLoRA, bitsandbytes, 4 and 8 bit inference, and plenty more. He recently finished his Ph.D. at the University of Washington, is now a researcher at the Allen Institute for AI, and is starting as a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in fall of 2025.Tim is a joy to talk to. He thinks independently on all the AI issues of today, bringing new perspectives that challenge the status quo. At the same time, he’s sincere and very helpful to work with, working hard to uplift those around him and the academic community. There’s a reason he’s so loved in the open-source AI community.Find more about Tim on his Twitter or Google Scholar. He also has a great blog where he talks about things like which GPUs to buy and which grad school to choose.Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and where ever you get your podcasts.

  • Interviewing Andrew Carr of Cartwheel on the State of Generative AI

    Interviewing Andrew Carr of Cartwheel on the State of Generative AI
    2024/10/31
    Andrew Carr is co-founder and chief scientist at Cartwheel, where he is building text-to-motion AI models and products for gaming, film, and other creative endeavors. We discuss how to keep generative AI fun and expansive — niche powerful use-cases, AI poetry, AI devices like Meta RayBans, generalization to new domains like robotics, and building successful AI research cultures.Andrew is one of my well read friends on the directions AI is going, so it is great to bring him in for an official conversation. He spent time at OpenAI working on Codex, Gretel AI, and is an editor for the TLDR AI Newsletter.Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and where ever you get your podcasts.

    (Voiceover) Claude's agentic future and the current state of the frontier models
    2024/10/23

    How Claude's computer use works. Where OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google all have a lead on eachother.

    Chapters

    00:00 Claude's agentic future and the current state of the frontier models

    04:43 The state of the frontier models

    04:49 1. Anthropic has the best model we are accustomed to using

    05:27 Google has the best small & cheap model for building automation and basic AI engineering

    08:07 OpenAI has the best model for reasoning, but we don’t know how to use it

    09:12 All of the laboratories have much larger models they’re figuring out how to release (and use)

    10:42 Who wins?

  • Interviewing Arvind Narayanan on making sense of AI hype

    Interviewing Arvind Narayanan on making sense of AI hype
    2024/10/17

    Arvind Narayanan is a leading voice disambiguating what AI does and does not do. His work, with Sayash Kapoor at AI Snake Oil, is one of the few beacons of reasons in a AI media ecosystem with quite a few bad Apples. Arvind is a professor of computer science at Princeton University and the director of the Center for Information Technology Policy. You can learn more about Arvind and his work on his website, X, or Google Scholar.

    This episode is all in on figuring out what current LLMs do and don’t do. We cover AGI, agents, scaling laws, autonomous scientists, and past failings of AI (i.e. those that came before generative AI took off). We also briefly touch on how all of this informs AI policy, and what academics can do to decide on what to work on to generate better outcomes for technology.
