COREWEAVE IS BATTLING THE GIANTS OF SILICON VALLEY

CoreWeave, a New Jersey-based startup, has emerged as a major player in AI infrastructure, offering cloud services for powerful GPU-based computing crucial for AI. Originally dabbling in cryptocurrency, CoreWeave pivoted to AI and now competes with tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. The company, valued at around $2 billion, recently secured significant funding and uses its Nvidia GPUs as leverage for financial growth.

FLEXIBLE TECHNIQUES FOR RENDERING WITH 3D GAUSSIAN

What do you get when you take a cell phone video and a few seconds on a CPU? Well, in this case - state of the art shape reconstruction! Slightly different from Gaussian splatting, but using the same fundamental math, this technique is a cool step forward in accessible 3D shape capture.

SIMPLIFYING MEMORY USE IN TRANSFER LEARNING

Researchers have found a way to make transfer learning methods use less memory with a new approach called "Universal Parallel Tuning" (UniPT). This makes it easier to use these advanced methods in everyday situations.

ENHANCING SECURITY IN MODELS USING DIFFUSION

Researchers are exploring if "diffusion models" can make models that are already trained to be robust even stronger. A new method, "DiffSmooth", cleans up data using diffusion and then uses a special smoothing process to make the models even more reliable.

LANGFUSE

Langfuse is an open source observability & analytics solution for LLM-based applications. It is mostly geared towards production usage but some users also use it for local development of their LLM applications.

DSPY

DSPy unifies techniques for prompting and fine-tuning LMs as well as improving them with reasoning and tool/retrieval augmentation, all expressed through a minimalistic set of Pythonic modules that compose and learn.
