I believe we need open-source alternatives to ChatGPT for more transparency, inclusivity, accountability and distribution of power. Excited to introduce HuggingChat, an open-source early prototype interface, powered by OpenAssistant, a model that was released a few weeks ago. – at Normandy Shores, FL

Ten years ago @JustinBasilico & me published a blog post describing an architectural blueprint for Recommender Systems. I'm now revisiting it by including several alternatives published since, and a new one that in some ways includes all the previous ones: amatriain.net/blog/RecsysArc…

Pretty big update to my Transformer Catalog. I added ChatGPT, Sparrow, and Stable Diffusion among others. I also included a section about RLHF and Diffusion models and a new timeline view. Enjoy! amatriain.net/blog/transform…

We've just released the first version of our Deep Learning Tuning Playbook! This is our attempt to distill our process for actually getting good results with deep learning. We emphasize hyperparameter tuning since it has been a large pain point. github.com/google-research/t…
