And can you believe me when I tell you that friends of the pod Matt Shumer & Sahil form Glaive.ai just dropped a LLama 3.1 70B finetune that you can download that will outperform Claude Sonnet 3.5 while running locally on your machine? Today was a VERY heavy Open Source focused show, we had a great chat w/ Niklas, the leading author of OLMoE, a new and 100% open source MoE from Allen AI, a chat with Eugene (pico_creator) about

Look these crazy weeks don't seem to stop, and though this week started out a bit slower (while folks were waiting to see how the speculation about certain red berry flavored conspiracies are shaking out) the big labs are shipping! We've got space uncle Elon dropping an "almost-gpt4" level Grok-2, that's uncensored, has access to real time data on X and can draw all kinds of images with Flux, OpenAI announced a new ChatGPT 4o version (not the one from last week that supported structured outputs, a

Hold on tight, folks, because THIS week on ThursdAI felt like riding a roller coaster through the wild world of open-source AI - extreme highs, mind-bending twists, and a sprinkle of "wtf is happening?" conspiracy theories for good measure. 😂 Theme of this week is, Open Source keeps beating GPT-4, while we're inching towards intelligence too cheap to meter on the API fronts. We even had a live demo so epic, folks at the Large Hadron Collider are taking notice! Plus, strawberry shenanigans abound

Holy s**t, folks! I was off for two weeks, last week OpenAI released GPT-4o-mini and everyone was in my mentions saying, Alex, how are you missing this?? and I'm so glad I missed that last week and not this one, because while GPT-4o-mini is incredible (GPT-4o level distill with incredible speed and almost 99% cost reduction from 2 years ago?) it's not open source. So welcome back to ThursdAI, and buckle up because we're diving into what might just be the craziest week in open-source AI since..

I SURE DO!

This week we saw OpenAI get in the news from multiple angles, none of them positive and Microsoft clapped back at Google from last week with tons of new AI product announcements (CoPilot vs Gemini) and a few new PCs with NPU (Neural Processing Chips) that run alongside CPU/GPU combo we're familiar with.

I am writing this, from a lobby of the Mariott hotel in SF, where our annual conference is happening called Fully Connected, and I recorded today's episode from my hotel room.
