This is perhaps one of the most important charts on AI for 2024. It was built by the amazing researcher team at @CathieDWood’s @ARKInvest. We can see the rise of open source local models are on the path to overtake massive (and expensive) cloud based closed models.

Beeper should be allowed to compete.


The pace of open-source LLM innovation and research is breath-taking I suspect that open-source will soon become unbeatable for anyone except maybe OpenAI Here's why - Open-source community is way bigger than any specific company - Safety lobotomy and fear of bad press will continue will impact proprietary model performance - Smaller models that are instruct / fine-tuned are performing as well as 50x bigger models - Smaller models are more efficient and cheaper than large models - Companies will leverage open-source and offer value-added services and APIs

If this is 7:40pm what happens at 10? 😱😱😱😱





Based @ylecun "AI is going to become a common platform... it needs to be open source if you want it to be a platform on top of which a whole ecosystem can be built And the reason why we need to work in that mode is that this is the best way to make progress as fast as we can"

**Updating the best open-source medical LLM** 🚀 Introducing Clinical Camel-70B, one of the best open-source medical Large Language Models for clinical research! Based on the new #Llama2-70B model from @MetaAI, our Clinical Camel-70B can surpass proprietary models like GPT-3.5 in medical benchmarks! See our paper: arxiv.org/abs/2305.12031… 💡 Developed with QLoRA, Clinical Camel-70B excels in medical Q/A benchmarks, and its 4096 token context limit opens doors to diverse applications. 🏥 Beyond Q/A, Clinical Camel automates clinical note generation from patient-doctor conversations, a game-changer for healthcare. 🌐 We're sharing Clinical Camel-70B to promote transparency and collaborative research, paving the way for safe LLM integration in healthcare. We're democratizing AI in healthcare. ⚠️ Challenges remain, including safety, outdated knowledge, and biases. But Clinical Camel bridges the gap between proprietary and open medical LLMs. 📥 Download Clinical Camel now on Hugging Face: huggingface.co/wanglab/Clinic… #AIinHealthcare #ClinicalCamel #HealthTech 🧬🏥🤖 Shoutout to the amazing student, Augustin (@ugustintoma) for leading this project! @drbarryrubin @VectorInst @UofTCompSci @UofT_LMP @UHNAIHUB @bradwouters @KevinSmithUHN @pmcc_ai
