No it is not

ill take my grain of salt, especially given the content in question, thanks.

Hmm theluddite org doesn’t seem like a place I’m going to be trusting sorry. Esp. since it’s your username it smells an awful lot like self-promotion which is fucking gross.

what are you stupid? Everyone knows this is the best

… no shit Sherlock

Well lets definitely berate them for not knowing, that’s sure to be fucking helpful

Now you can be several layers deep in badness, with varying degrees of visibility of badness.

It really turns up the number of possible badness combinations tbh

Best features historically. Not best of its current features. I doubt photoshop cares if it gets insulted also haha

Distilled and evaporated to perfection

Looped all the way around the digit counter

Cool. Still don’t care.

Condensated vapor ware

An earwig told me

Almost like a responsible modern day approach is multifaceted

Yeah ok well when you get ransomware’d you’re going to wish you had Cloud backups.

Ask me how I know

Where there is gold, there will be diggers.

Your comment, if thought about critically, doesn’t seem as well informed as you obviously wanted to come across

I’m guessing that’s still a worthwhile investment for them.

Not all replies to you are a direct representation of what you’re hoping people are going to fixate on. That’s not in your control. You may not realize this but we are all equally sentient and have our own thought processes. The rest of us aren’t NPCs…

Thanks Newton!

I’d probably still worry about falling over

Everybody pay attention to this guy for 10 minutes

As is thier right. My right is to never ever use his service, not even to check links or get emergency info. Fuck 'em.

But there are commercial entity, it’s their right to do so, with thebway thebcurrent laws and market is setup. “The free market will remove them from the equation if they’re not offering an attractive product at an attractive rate, in the face of competitors offering such”… in theory. In practice, I say fuck em. Stop using unity. Stop playing games made in unity. Let them die. A better offering will appear when they are off the table.

Why do you think they wrecked Twitter and fb and reddit? Curious to see what they do to take mastodon/lemmy out.

No, it really is.

The internet is dead, and if it’s not, it is to me

Because it’s meta

What in the Muhammad are you talking about

Words

More like Elon was more interested in ruining one of the most popular was us poor people had to unite against the likes of people like Elon. I don’t think he’s smart enough to make that call on his own so I’m pretty sure he’s under the direction of someone else.

Seems awful weird to me that twitter, facebook, and Reddit have all had similar types of issues recently and resulted in dramatic user loss. It’s not coincidence, and it’s not for the face value reasons, it’s to remove our ability to organize against them.

Perfect, my one bad tooth will find it right away then

its not piracy if i just found it in my nets

Adept Releases Persimmon-8B, Most Powerful Open Source AI Model Under 10B Parameters

When compared to LLama 2 and MPT 7B Instruct, Persimmon-8B-FT is the strongest performing model on all but one of the metrics.

San Francisco-based AI startup Adept announced today the open source release of Persimmon-8B, their new language model with 8.3 billion parameters. Persimmon-8B represents the most capable fully open source AI model available today under 10 billion parameters.

Persimmon-8B brings a suite of features that make it a standout among its peers. The model is designed for maximum flexibility, released under an Apache license, and carries the distinction of being the most powerful fully permissively-licensed language model with fewer than 10 billion parameters.

One of its most intriguing aspects is its context size of 16K, which is 4 times that of LLaMA2 and 8 times that of well-known models like GPT-3. This increased context size enables Persimmon-8B to understand and generate text with greater coherency and applicability in a broad range of use cases. Despite being trained on only 37% as much data as its closest competitor, LLaMA2, Persimmon-8B’s performance is comparable, signaling high levels of efficiency.

The 8B size is a sweet spot for most users without access to large-scale compute—they can be finetuned on a single GPU, run at a decent speed on modern MacBooks, and may even fit on mobile devices.

Persimmon-8B represents one early output of Adept’s model scaling program that will support the company’s future AI products. Adept aims to develop an AI agent to assist people across a wide range of computer tasks.

Alongside the model, Adept has published custom high-speed inference code that matches speeds of optimized C++ implementations like NVIDIA’s FasterTransformer, while retaining PyTorch flexibility. This innovation could significantly accelerate application development.

The announcement also touched on the complexities of evaluating language models, discussing the limitations of the commonly used methods that focus on intrinsic knowledge rather than interactive capabilities. Adept emphasized that they use direct answer generation for evaluations, more closely mimicking how users interact with language models.

Initial tests show Persimmon-8B surpassing other models on popular AI benchmarks like Winogrande, HellaSwag, and ARC when fine-tuned. Adept cautions that as a raw model release, no measures have yet been implemented to control for toxic outputs.

This release is part of a broader strategy that Adept has for the coming months. By making this robust and flexible language model available to the public, Adept hopes to spur even greater innovation in the world of artificial intelligence.

Given its feature set and capabilities, it’s safe to say that this model will serve as a cornerstone for numerous ground-breaking applications and research in the near future. The code, weights, and documentation for Persimmon-8B are available now on Adept’s GitHub.

Dead to me

That’s supposed to be what your service charges offset

Yeah we get it Verge.com you’re loving the reddit clicks

Ooof
