Meet our new AI, #DBRX
DBRX is an advance in what language models can do per $. These economics will have profound impacts on how AI is used, and we've built this to democratize these capabilities!
It's the best open model in the world. It closes the gap to closed models in a meaningful way. It also demonstrates the "full power of the deathstar"...the combination of a true data platform combined with the best-in-class LLM training platform
See details below 👇
Meet #DBRX: a general-purpose LLM that sets a new standard for efficient open source models.
Use the DBRX model in your RAG apps or use the DBRX design to build your own custom LLMs and improve the quality of your GenAI applications. dbricks.co/43xaCMj

Meet DBRX, a new sota open llm from @databricks. It's a 132B MoE with 36B active params trained from scratch on 12T tokens. It sets a new bar on all the standard benchmarks, and - as an MoE - inference is blazingly fast. Simply put, it's the model your data has been waiting for.
Check out my sister talking about being deployed to Cambodia!

As I managed to overdo the insulin for the second time this week, it was reassuring to see @GrahamJenson’s writeup and know that I’m not alone in finding it incredibly hard: maori.geek.nz/the-unreasonab…
One of the unfortunate things about a January birthday was that more often than not it was a school day. Now, as an adult, it always seems to be around performance review time.
We flew home for my grandmother's funeral and @Halo_Screening had some massive logistical fail at T5. They managed to lose both my wife and my sister's PCR samples (mine is fine). Worst still, instead of making it right, they insist that it is user error. Steer clear!

.@opstrace has joined @gitlab! 🎉
With this acquisition, we will bring our open source observability to The DevOps Platform—alongside existing monitoring capabilities—to accelerate adoption and features.
And, yes, we're still committed to Apache v2!

My favourite thing about the world in 2021 is how I have to Slack people to remind people about the action item I assigned them in Google Docs that they missed in their inbox.
Great work by the team! It's not always been straightforward to contribute changes upstream but I'm hoping this'll be the first of many from Airbnb Cloud Infra.
Airbnb just contributed our first change to the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler to cache AWS LaunchTemplates and reduce AWS API throttling: github.com/kubernetes/autosc…

My favourite UX annoyance is when I click "add to calendar" and an .ics file is added to a graveyard of .ics files in ~/Downloads.
Reviewing access for SOX compliance is one of my least favourite activities. It's such a brittle requirement that is impossible to enforce when your systems run anything and everything.
It's always funny to me how "Manager" is listed as a distinct occupation on insurance applications. Not sure I could drop in and manage a sales team, nor that my wife would be good managing an engineering team.
