🧵Three eras of foundation models
1. The recent past - demonstration of the capabilities of AI.
2. The present - incremental improvements to efficiency of training and inference.
3. The future - continual learning on live data for a constant representation of the world state.

Let’s keep technology that benefits all of us in the open where it belongs - over-regulating risks concentrating the benefits in the hands of the few and hiding the dangers behind opaque barriers
Similar to electricity and microchips, AI is the spark of a new industrial revolution. How we govern it will shape the direction of our future and Gensyn is strongly on the side of open access and development

New technological advancements shouldn't be artificially restricted through centralised regulation - we risk far more as a society in doing this than we gain
happy to sign this open letter alongside people I greatly respect - let's keep the next industrial revolution open

The platform risk with these AI APIs is insane - we need a decentralised alternative
We're building the resource level
@gensynai
(compute) but who is building the application level?
Founders: It increasingly looks like having a direct import of openai, anthropic, or any one startup’s modules directly in your codebase is just as bad as hardcoding strings in shipped binaries, especially when there is no feature/signature parity.

Decentralised compute infra is that new paradigm and I agree with Sam, it will be great for the world
Sam just said that if someone comes up with a fundamentally superior (more compute efficient) approach for scaling powerful AI models, OpenAI will be in a “not great” place.
This should be our primary focus for AI acceleration — not blindly worshiping the Transformer.

soon we're going to trend away from single, large "AGI" or "God Models" and towards modular + composable execution of smaller, task specific models
inference and training passes will become JIT-routed paths through modular parameter space, not fragile training of one big graph

A quick summary of a lot of conversations over the past 5 years:
"Decentralised training doesn't work - the current systems aren't highly distributed, that means it can't work."
"What if we built systems FOR decentralised training though?"
"Decentralised training doesn.."
The reasons “against” decentralized training are mostly summarized as “we haven’t spent any time with it”.

programmes, with an excellent call to action at the end. I'd highly recommend taking her up on that cup of tea!
To end our celebrations of
#InternationalWomensDay
(the celebration of female founders will continue - we promise! 😉) Here is a letter from programme director
@Gabrielaellala

Really pleased to be able to announce that my first first-author journal paper "Evolving Image Classification Architectures with Enhanced Particle Swarm Optimisation" has been accepted to IEEE Access with the early version available open access here:

I'm building up a mental bank of places to briefly get away from everything in different areas of London. This one definitely fits the bill 👌

really enjoyed this conversation with
@shayonsengupta
there are some hardcore tech challenges to solve to build the future of ML infra and we're taking them head-on - reach out if this resonates with you
At
@gensynai
, we are shaping the future of Machine Learning.
Every day, our engineering and research teams take on cutting-edge challenges in distributed computing. From verification of decentralized training to serialization across ML frameworks, we push the boundaries in AI.

has been thinking and writing about decentralisation since way before we discovered the AI compute benefits
‘Centralized platforms have been dominant for so long that many people have forgotten there is a better way to build internet services.’

why are we picking which group of elites we want to control AI - what if we just all get to use it?

I described this to someone at dinner last night and realised this morning how strongly I believe it
as individuals we lost the last big battle with corporations over control of our personal data and we've since struggled to rebalance through regulation or technical solutions

If you work in ML/DL (or use it in your personal/hobby projects) we'd love to hear about how you train your models
Google form linked in the thread - should only take a few mins to fill out and we really appreciate your responses 😁
🧠Deep Learning Poll 🧠
Thank you for all the responses to our compute provider poll (the supply side of the network). Now, we’d love to find out more about the demand side: the deep learning engineers/researchers/hobbyists in our community.

Great to see one of my angel investments get acquired - congrats
@Staging_Labs
and
@MerkleScience
!
Acquiring Staging Labs will enhance Merkle Science's cross-chain capabilities and support their expansion in the US and Canada.

@MerkleScience
has acquired
@Staging_Labs
! Back in 2018, I met
@MrigankPattnaik
and Nirmal as an investor at
@join_ef
. Little did I know that this encounter would begin a remarkable journey that has now come full circle.

"Allowing large corporations to shape regulations in their favor could leave the actual users — us — without a say in how it’s governed"
Hugely relevant: all fears + regulatory solutions around AI are opinions of a small group with outsized influence

We're going to be at
@EFDevconnect
in Amsterdam in April
Check
@Maven11Capital
's event out if you're interested in all things privacy + infra and give us a shout if you're going and want to meet up!
p.s. we're hiring engineers and more 👀
We are going all out during
@EFDevconnect
in Amsterdam!
We are looking forward to welcoming you for our second event, the Privacy Paradigm.
Come join a stellar line-up of

sadly often true but I promise this isn't us - if you want to work on the left side (and add some boxes, arrows, etc.. that don't exist yet) then get in touch
our applied research position is ML engineering / hacking on new & distributed model architectures
