I guess hacking the night before New Year's is controversial. So we're gonna throw a real party this Friday. Except it's a hack night 😉. Jk, it's BOTH:.1 floor for partying.2 floors for hacking. Building will continue until morale improves 😤.
Got invited to a pre-New Years Eve party in SF…. But instead of partying, everyone was just hacking on startups and side projects. They were intense. Here are some of the demos we saw from the party animals at @AGIHouseSF (🧵):

We'll hear from @replicate's @GandalfHz on how to train and serve your Loras on Replicate, much like @levelsio described in his recent @lexfridman interview. There will also be a 1k prize for the best use of Replicate!.
Fine-tune FLUX.1 on your face! . It's pretty easy: Gather some images of yourself, create a new fine-tuned model, then use the web or API to generate novel images of yourself as a superhero, a cartoon character, an adventurer, or just. a regular person.

We'll be hacking with @nebiusai's compute, for anyone who wants to compete for @replicate's 1k Lora research prize - discovering a way to target face relevant neurons in the base model, or do any other custom computation during the hackathon.
🔥 This fall, we’re adding @NVIDIA H200 SXM GPUs. Currently, #H200 is the most powerful #GPU for your AI. Its memory and data access speed ensure up to 2x the LLM inference performance over H100. Prices start from $2.50 GPU/h. Reserve your cluster today:
