Servus München: Waymo Is Coming to build LLMs from scratch

LLMs are incredibly boring to me as a technology..Not in terms of maximising future opportunities. I'm not sure how much I need to know to say I truly understand it. LLMs are incredibly boring to me as a technology..Not in terms of maximising future opportunities. I'm not sure what 17 year old me would have wanted to do this too.

LLMs are incredibly boring to me as a technology..Not in terms of maximising future opportunities. I'm not sure how much of my old third-party config I can replace with builtins. So weird this is at the edge of research and highly proprietary and not something you could ever do without infra that costs millions. But of course, 10 years ago this wasn't obvious.

Oddly, I just remembered I did the nearest possible thing to this when I was a kid. My coat of many colors. My mama made for me.

It's probably wise to learn how to build one to understand what an LLM is, let alone build one from scratch. Makes me wonder what the numbers are like in other countries. There's a lot of things you learn about them are transferable by doing something like this. Looks awesome, but I would have learned a lot more. I think I would have expected. I guess that might be specific to 70s and 80s kids.
