Tori Tompkins

I have a few silly designs I created for my blog that I was doing nothing with, so I've decided to create a RedBubble store to sell them as clothing. All money raised will be donated to @BlackGirlsCODE so check them out or share <3 redbubble.com/people/toritom…

I am very excited to be speaking at @DataScotland this year about one of my favourite topics, MLOps in Databricks! Last year Data Scotland was the very first conference I spoke solo at, so I feel especially excited to be returning again 😊

Open challenges in LLM research The first two challenges, hallucinations and context learning, are probably the most talked about today. I’m the most excited about 3 (multimodality), 5 (new architecture), and 6 (GPU alternatives). Number 5 and number 6, new architectures and new hardware, are very challenging, but are inevitable with time. Because of the symbiosis between architecture and hardware – new architecture will need to be optimized for common hardware, and hardware will need to support common architecture – they might be solved by the same company. I referenced a lot of papers here, but I have no doubt that I still missed a ton. If there’s something you think I missed, please let me know! huyenchip.com/2023/08/16/llm…

I loved this latest episode we recorded. Has definitely made me think more fondly about the hours I’ve spent editing podcasts!

👀

@mmoengen @graceaohalloran I would be really interested to read your learnings, this is something I’d love to set up in my local area too. Best of luck ❤️

@ToriTompkins @graceaohalloran That would be awesome! So far this is just me having an idea and finally going for it - after thinking about it for a long time. Love for this to grow! Plan is to put together a template on learnings and what works/does not work. Hopefully, anyone can copy-paste to their city🙌

I just did a thing - are you a WIT in/near Oslo and want to join me for lunch? I think we need more arenas where we as WITs can meet. That is low-key. Where we actually get the time and place to talk. Inspire each other. Learn from each other. Mentor each other. (1/2)
