The Zen of software engineering: If it's not tested, it's broken. If it's in prod, it will be broken. If it's broken, it's on a sat. If it takes down a good chunk of the world infrastructure, you're probably related to microsoft somehow.

Jeffrey otoibhi's session today at AI Summer Of Code is easily one of my faves so far. Jeffrey went all the way into techniques of building foundation models in code 🔥 We are now in the 4th & final week of AISOC, and today's session marks the end of our Saturday in-person sessions.

This picture emphasizes the shortcomings of the 2 major metrics used in translation tasks and also the need for more than one reference text per sample during evaluation. Also, semantic meaning and structure is not taken into consideration with these metrics.

My Honorable speaker sir❤️ Jeffrey otoibhi Your session was great… “Ai in healthcare” Love it!! #DataFestAfrica2024 #DFA2024

Honored to speak at #DataFestAfrica2024 on 'Transforming Patient Care through AI Innovation, Ethics, Challenges & Future Prospects.' Passionate about how AI can revolutionize healthcare-from diagnostics to personalized medicine-while addressing critical ethical challenges.

BIG NEWS! 🎉 Our paper, "SabiYarn: Advancing Low Resource Languages with Multitask NLP," has been accepted to AfricaNLP at ACL 2025! 🌍🤖 Our 125M model is achieving HUGE results for African low-resource languages, outperforming much larger models. #ACL2025 #AfricaNLP #NLP #AI

XLM-R has been SOTA for 6 years for multilingual encoders. That's an eternity in AI 🤯 Time for an upgrade. Introducing mmBERT: 2-4x faster than previous models ⚡ while even beating o3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro 🔥 + open models & training data - try it now! How did we do it? 🧵

A very interesting read!!!

I hear people are being paid between $20- 150/hr to wash clothes, plates and perform other everyday/mundane tasks for AI & Robotics R&D. If you know how to wash clothes very well, your kairos moment has come.

As a medical doctor & AI expert, I tend to worry less about the latest model speed and more about Trust, the unseen entity collapsing beneath modern AI. We are already past the point of Misinformation. We have entered the era of Algorithmic Isolation where the line between

Who has access to free +/- fast GPU compute? We are about to translate a huge corpus of sft data into different African languages with high quality and diversity in mind. To bring this to life, we need access to some serious and fast compute. Please, DM if you do.

It's here and it's beautiful😍. I'm excited to announce the release of YarnGPT, the best text to speech system for Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Pidgin and Nigerian English🇳🇬. YarnGPT can help dub videos to Nigerian languages, create audiobooks/voice overs, and convert URL/PDF to audio.

Google just dropped "Attention is all you need (V2)" This paper could solve AI's biggest problem: Catastrophic forgetting. When AI models learn something new, they tend to forget what they previously learned. Humans don't work this way, and now Google Research has a solution.
