New Anthropic research: Project Fetch. We asked two teams of Anthropic researchers to program a robot dog. Neither team had any robotics expertise—but we let only one team use Claude. How did they do?

@IndabaXKenya @DeepIndaba @masenoUnikenya @1carringtone @ankahira @Nyaminge @Sonni_e_ @KamemeTvKenya @JayneAmol @DeKUTkenya Amazing stuff!!

I am easing back to social media with some splendid news. After months of working on this, we launched WHOLE, The KamiLimu Magazine, yesterday. In it, you'll find inspiration, interaction, & my creative side on display with games & all. It is worth your time. 😊

Hello! Yesterday, we did something cool! We launched our first-ever KamiLimu Magazine (volume 1, issue 1), which we have named WHOLE. In this first issue, you will find journeys of single steps, career pivots, resilience, and hope that careers in tech can be wholesome. You will find an interactive experience that we hope will make you smile. And you will find originally designed games that will challenge your mind, because we also know how to play very well. Savour this magazine solo or with loved ones. Best experienced on a bigger screen for the highest level of interaction. So, welcome to the WHOLE experience. 🎉 whole.kamilimu.org/v1_issue1

Check out our demo antony-gitau.github.io/dsail-orthoped… Work done at @DSAIL_DeKUT (@DeKUTkenya) under @dsa_org fellowship with funding support from @GoogleDeepMind through @AIMSacza and @CVPR broadening participation scholarship.

This morning at Music Centre for #CVPR2025 #Nashville

@chao_mbogho Very much recommended workshop for anyone who wants to win any applications!!

Hi.👋🏾 After 9 successful scholarship workshops that we started in 2018, we took a 3-year hiatus & are now bringing them back. If you are looking to learn timeless skills you can use in scholarship/postgrad/fellowship applications, learn from us & gain from our track record.

Today, I got access to @manusai. So I gave it a @GoogleColab notebook and asked it to go through a GPT-based model and change specific architectural design to resemble LLama. So instead of GELU, use SILU and instead of LayerNorm, RMSNorm. ZERO errors!

Exciting news! DSA, in partnership with @Meta is launching the Llama for Africa Grant Program — offering up to $20,000 to African startups, researchers & labs using Llama 3.3 to create indigenous solutions. Apply by April 18, 2025 ➡️bit.ly/3Bd1z9B

Just returned from an inspiring three weeks at @AIMS_Next in Cape Town, where I taught Generative AI with @FEijkelboom. I was really impressed with these students, who are engaged, hard working, and asked some of the best questions that I have ever had in class!

🇿🇦Had the most amazing time at @AIMS_Next in Cape Town teaching some of the brightest, hardest-working, and most grateful students I've ever met. Special thanks to @jwvdm for this amazing opportunity and teaching this course! Can't wait to see where their talents take them ❤️

Wrapped up a fun and intensive course on Deep Generative Models and Generative AI, taught by Prof Jan-Willem @jwvdm and his PhD student @FEijkelboom @ja from @UvA_Amsterdam Machine Learning Lab as part of the AI for Science Masters at @AIMSacza!!

Tomorrow 5pm EAT. 😌 #TeamKenya

@simonw Its impressive how many interactive apps you built with LLM! Prompt driven app generation! 🔥

Here's the table of contents for my end-of-year review of things we learned out about LLMs in 2024 - we learned a LOT

20 years ago, Nvidia’s annual profit was $100 million. Today, it generates $100 million of profit in less than half a day.
