Really excited to learn from the absolute experts at spaCy , Explosion 💥 , Rasa , and Outerbounds about

Visiting Berlin for PyConDE & PyData Berlin this month? I've put together a little guide to the city with my personal recommendations, from food and drinks to cool things to see and do, plus a bunch of practical tips! 💁‍♀️✨

Data QA processes, just like unit tests, should be automated and reproducible to be efficiently integrated into a model dev workflow. We’ve recently expanded Prodigy's QA toolset and this thread reviews what’s available for different phases of data and model development 🧵

Leaving London today 👋 Had a great time at @QConLondon – thanks for a fun and well-organised conference and the many conversations about applied NLP, LLMs and more!

Now back home to Berlin and getting ready for PyConDE & PyData Berlin later this month 🐍

Ines Montani 〰️, Co-Founder & CEO Explosion, Core Developer of spaCy, shares how principles of modularity and flexibility apply to #AI , ensuring that big tech doesn't monopolize our digital future: shorturl.at/fjFMU

#ML #GenAI #GenerativeAI #ArtificialIntelligence

A really good talk and insightful point of view about AI revolution, I keep in mind that : 'Llms large generative models are often part of a product or a process, they're not just the product...' Here is the good start for the reflexion! Ines Montani 〰️ QCon London Software Development Conference /QCon Software Development Conferences

Enjoying the energy Ines Montani 〰️ is bringing to this talk. Engaging speaker, clearly knows their topic super well. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

'The reasons people choose open source software also apply in AI.'

Slides from my PyCon Lithuania keynote! Had some great chats afterwards with devs who felt disillusioned with ✨AI✨ & said it gave them hope, which was amazing.

In Vilnius for PyCon Lithuania 🐍☀️ If you're at the conference tomorrow, come and say hi!

I'll be giving the closing keynote titled 'The AI Revolution Will Not Be Monopolized: How open-source beats economies of scale, even for LLMs'.

Some time ago, I implemented a biaffine parser for spaCy: github.com/explosion/spac…

Doing so uncovered some interesting differences between theory (academia?) and real-world implementation.

One cool feature of Hugging Face Candle is that you can use your own backend with the variable/parameter builder.

We use this functionality to interject our own parameter name rewriting proxy: github.com/oxidized-trans…

We are working on a small transformer library for Rust, informed by our work on Explosion 💥 Curated Transformers.

A model like Llama/Llama2 can be defined in a Rust config of ~40 lines.

The library is not ready yet, but we're making good progress.
