GUIDANCE

Guidance enables developers to control modern language models more effectively and efficiently than traditional prompting or chaining. It allows users to merge generation, prompting, and logical control into a single continuous flow, matching how the language model actually processes the text. Guidance features a simple, intuitive syntax, playground-like streaming, smart seed-based generation caching, support for role-based chat models, and easy integration with HuggingFace models.

TAILWIND VARIANTS

Tailwind Variants combines the power of Tailwind with a first-class variant API. It features slots, responsive variants, component composition, and more. Tailwind Variants offers TypeScript auto-completion and type-safety. It is framework agnostic and it efficiently merges conflicting styles.

IMPLOSION IS EVEN BETTER

FTX's founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, is the focus of several charges leveled by federal prosecutors. These include money laundering, bribery, and orchestrating a fraudulent scheme that resulted in the multibillion-dollar misappropriation of customer money. Bankman-Fried has pleaded not guilty. Michael Lewis was originally planning to just check out Bankman-Fried as a favor to his friend in the fall of 2021, but he ended up receiving a front-row seat to the scandal. His book about Bankman-Fried is set to be released on October 3.

THE RACE TO BRING GENERATIVE AI TO MOBILE DEVICES

Generative AI may be soon integrated into mobile. The push towards advanced AI in software and services has resulted in increased computing costs for tech companies. Operating generative AI on mobile devices could resolve one of the main economical issues with the technology. Most of the work on tailoring models to handsets is still at an experimental stage, so it is too early to see whether these efforts will lead to truly useful mobile applications.
