I don't just work on open LLMs, I've also been writing a book on Stable Diffusion with @ManningBooks! The Manning Early Access Program (MEAP) is available starting today! The code `mlkurt2` gets you 45% off until 4/22 The future of AI is Open Source!

I’m proud to admit I have now perfectly alienated my Twitter/X audience. The intersection of AI/Bayesian Stats/Critical Theory /Classical Chinese is likely just me 😂 ( would love to be proven wrong!)

On the train to 郑州 to spend the holiday with family and catching up on all the DeepSeek hype! Seems like I picked a great time to 学习汉语！

Is no one going to point out that the text reads 呼吸 （hūxī) - "breathe" not 护士 （hùshi) "nurse"?
The American migration to Xiaohongshu (RedNote) may be the craziest accidental cultural exchange ever. Hundreds of thousands of users landed in an app not localized or in their language. One day in, and it’s already considered rude not to subtitle videos in the other language.

I’m pretty sure reddit, at this point, is just ChatGPT responding to itself.

Thanks for doing this! I'm also thrilled to see you were able to reproduce (and improve) my results. I always sleep a bit better knowing that I didn't make some silly mistake! 😅 Also happy to see this replicated with GPT! I had long suspected what they were doing lead to slight degradation in performance (based on some similar results with BFCL) but never had the chance to really verify!

Yes! In fact the first chapter is about drawing a "damn fine cup of coffee" and then again when Flux is introduced it starts with a quote from "Twin Peaks: The Return" because: "Flux is to Stable Diffusion much like Twin Peaks: The Return is to the original series: fundamentally the same, but also something entirely new and different."
