Try out SLMs with Ollama in GitHub Codespaces. If you haven't tried it already, Ollama is a great tool built on top of llama.cpp that makes it easier to run small language models (SLMs) like Phi-3 and Llama3-8B on your own machine, even if your personal computer has no GPU or has an ARM chip. Ollama provides both a command-line interface to chat with the language model, as well as an OpenAI-compatible chat completion endpoint.   What if your personal computer can't run Ollama for some reason, like if you're using a ChromeBook or iPad without the ability to install? GitHub Codespaces to the rescue! Codespaces is a way to open any... #techcommunity #azure #microsoft https://lnkd.in/gV2hr2nN

Such an interesting article by Mark Zuckerberg on the Open Source AI models, comparing the impact to the industry standard set by Linux open-source OS. The paradigm shift open-source AI models can bring to the entire AI ecosystem is remarkable. Llama 3.1 (released today), with 405 Billion parameters, stands as the largest openly available model, signaling the beginning of a transformative journey.

How the Linux Foundation is helping open source and AI work together.

At Rakuten, we are constantly stimulated to learn more and advance ourselves. I have a passion for learning and applying new knowledge to my daily activities. This month, Rakuten has launched a campaign to enhance our understanding of AI through PluralSight. I've already completed several courses, and it's incredible to see the advancements in AI. One of these courses is "Linux Troubleshooting Using AI," which covers topics such as: - Understanding GPT tokenization and creating your own ChatGPT instance using Azure. - Utilizing AI for debugging issues in Linux and other applications. - Integrating AI into the development process with Copilot. Additionally, this month saw the release of ChatGPT 4.0-o, which includes outstanding features such as real time translation, voice nuance and even interpretation of images and videos. Every version we see the boundaries of AI going even further. Did you learn anything interesting today? How do you feel about this ? #AIupskillchallenge #Pluralsight

Back in Hong Kong this week to cover #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon #OpenSourceSummit China 2024. It's good to hear about how The Linux Foundation is driving efforts to address some of the challenges with #enterpriseAI adoption. These include a project that helps to validate the authenticity of digital content and a model openness framework to help organisations evaluate the level of openness of different AI models. Looking forward to seeing Linus Torvalds in person tomorrow!

This topic has been in my queue for quite sometime now - finally able to get around to it and check-off the next item from my long 𝗧𝗢-𝗗𝗢 list ... 𝐎𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐚 is a very powerful LLM hosting platform, which can be used to download and run the popular pre-trained LLM models locally ... Here comes the primer on how to setup and run 𝐎𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐚 using docker ... https://bit.ly/4cLdcBE ... #deeplearning #llm #ollama

as For nearly 10 years now, Microsoft's VS Code has been the dominant text editor among the developer community. It is compatible with GitHub and Azure, so you can depoly your code easily. a new open-source code editor named Zed was released a few weeks ago , built by Atom Editor team, which is very good competitor to VS Code. Zed is a new open-source code editor built in Rust. It is very fast and has a low memory footprint. It integrates with AI tools like GitHub, Copilot, and OpenAI. It has a built-in terminal and supports real-time collaboration. It is currently only available on Mac OS. it has some limitations, too such as the lack of extensibility and the fact that it is currently only available on Mac OS. #vscode #zed #ai #editor

Gentoo #Linux is banning #AI created content as contribution! 1) Copyright reasons. At the moment it is not clear who owns what or how a #LLM was ever trained. 2) Quality issues. The content often looks like "plausible BS". That is nice for assistance - but can't be trusted on. 3) Ethical reasons. A large maount of resources (CPUs, GPUs, Power, Engeneering, ...) is used to make this LLMs (with not that great benefit to mankind). https://lnkd.in/dmNCDHj4
