Grok 1.5 announcement includes the examples that made me feel like self-driving can eventually be done (better) as a subset of a more generic AI, eg a multimodal LLM as shown here. When I was at Autopilot, this made me feel a bit worried.
Such models can do examples like the…

Google's coding ecosystem is truly fantastic. The way its components dovetail into each-other is quite remarkable, and oddly intuitive for a complex system.
Makes GitHub feel like a git-wrapper, even though i love that too.
Lots of opportunity for innovation here. Things like…

Zombie apocalypse. No internet; off-grid with just your laptop. Would you rather have installed:

Congrats to SpaceX team, what a fantastic and inspirational achievement.

There is probably more to it. I pulled two 2x4s (dont get me started - modern '2x4s' measure 1.5x3.5 inches) from my 1880s barn in south bay.
I think it's just survivorship bias that we think old wood is so good.
And yes, I am planning to become a wood restorer post-singularity.

We are releasing a first set of new models for the open community of developers and researchers.

RIP TOP500. No one submits anymore, eg this 4.6k gpu (small) cluster is #9..
Kind of sad bc it is such an awesome hw/sw systems challenge.

Bard (the product) is now Gemini. Gemini Advanced is powered by the Gemini Ultra 1.0 model, our most advanced multimodal model. Congrats to everyone who worked on this effort, including the Bard and Gemini teams! Lots more updates in the blog post!

Bard, powered by the Gemini Pro-scale model, debuts at the #2 position on the independent lmsys leaderboard. 🔥

Give it a try at bard.google.com. Bard is much better & has many more capabilities since its debut in March, thanks to everyone on the Bard/Gemini teams!

PyTorch's design origins, its connection to Lua, its intertwined deep connection to JAX, its symbiotic connection to Chainer

The groundwork for PyTorch originally started in early 2016, online, among a band of Torch7's contributors.

These days, we also…

Personal news -

Joined NVIDIA in 2016, and Tesla in 2019. Like family, I never thought I'd leave.

My intuition pulls me to my next venture, that has the ingredients to change the world - again.

I'm joining Google DeepMind this Monday. Excited to be a kid among legends!
