The power of GPT-4o in the palm of our hands. It's a monumental day - for the first time in history, open weights catch up with the latest frontier models. This figure charts the historic run of open models against the closed ones. The former starts humble, but rise with a much higher gradient and a much more diverse ecosystem. Research like multimodal LM and robot foundation models wouldn't have been possible without white box access to a strong base LM. Llama-3.1 release includes more than just weights: - "Open Source AI is the Path Forward" - a manifesto that clearly lays out Zuckerberg's vision. It explains the commercial strategies, ecosystem positioning, and even geopolitical concerns, basically answering FAQs for OSS LLM in general: https://lnkd.in/gJt_nYZp - A 71-page long paper that treats all LLM researchers to a buffet of training details and analysis. They even discuss large-scale cluster failures and remedies - issues that only emerge with 16K H100s! It's literally early Christmas for my team ;) GPT-4o and Claude-3.5 are great, but I would easily rank Llama-3.1 the No. 1 highlight in the 2024 LLM landscape.

I have never been more excited about something I have worked on ever before. Meaningful mission, passionate colleagues, experienced backers, and happy early users. Stay tuned for more details! Come join our growing team! We are hiring across chip design, AI, and software.

A hugely important commitment to the openness of Meta's AI ecosystem by Mark Zuckerberg: "Open Source AI Is the Path Forward " Llama 3.1 is free, open, and on par with the best proprietary systems. To maximize performance, safety, customizability, and efficiency, AI platforms must be open, just like the software infrastructure of the Internet became open. - Open Source AI is good for developers: fine-tuning, distillation, safety, efficiency, privacy, flexibility, portability, affordability, and a large ecosystem of contributors. - Open source AI is good for Meta: the larger the community, the faster the progress. - Open source AI is good for the world: enables more diversity in languages, cultures, value systems, and centers of interest in AI assistants. Enables a wider access with less concentrated control. https://lnkd.in/gFYVuV_s

I'm thrilled to report that we received important recognition and a strong endorsement today for our innovation and drive to create quiet ICU environments. Premier, Inc., a leading technology-driven healthcare improvement company, awarded CalmWave a Breakthrough Technology agreement. This recognition includes a single source designation as the only company in Premier's catalog directly addressing ICU alarm fatigue. Our north star is to objectively improve Healthcare, and we look forward to doing so for the 4,350 hospitals in the Premier network. 🏥🏥🏥 This agreement is a testament to our world-class team of doctors, nurses, data scientists, software developers, and UX designers, who are united in our mission to improve the lives of patients and providers, starting by eliminating non-actionable alarms. ❤️ Read our press release in the first comment below. ⬇️ #CalmWave #Innovation #AlarmFatigue

Read AI named one of the fastest growing gen AI startups in the US! While I might have suspected (access to our internal growth metrics), it is awesome to see our name alongside Anthropic, Hugging Face, etc... https://lnkd.in/gTcscQaK
