New Image-Text Model, PyTorch's On-Device AI, Google's Free GenAI Bootcamp, & Prompt Engineer Conference Recordings
Adept dropped an open source image-text model, Pytorch announces on-device AI, Google's hosting a free Gen AI bootcamp, and the Prompt Engineer Conference recordings are all available on YouTube.
Adept Releases Open-Source Multimodal Model
Adept released Fuyu-8B, a streamlined version of their multimodal AI model, which is now available on HuggingFace. Think of this as the Mistral7B of image-text models.
Fuyu-8B excels in tasks like visual question-answering and natural-image-captioning. Performance evaluations show that Fuyu-8B outperforms several competitors, even with fewer parameters.
Although there are amazing use cases for this tool, their licensing terms state that you cannot use Fuyu-8B commercially.
PyTorch Ignites On-Device AI with ExecuTorch
PyTorch announced ExecuTorch, which marks a significant stride towards enhancing on-device inference across mobile and edge devices, with backing from Arm, Apple, & Qualcomm Innovation Center.
ExecuTorch addresses the existing fragmentation in the on-device AI ecosystem by offering a platform that facilitates effortless third-party integration, which accelerates machine learning models on specialized hardware.
ExecuTorch showcases a compact runtime and a lightweight operator registry, simplifying the execution of PyTorch programs on edge devices. Read more about it in their release.
Google Is Hosting a Free Generative AI Bootcamp
If you would like to learn more about generative AI, and even build something, Google’s free generative AI bootcamp may be helpful for you.
The bootcamp features 3 different modules on November 2nd, November 9th, and November 16th. According to the agenda, you may build chatbots and apps in the 2nd and 3rd modules.
Prompt Engineer Conference Is Up
Last week's Prompt Engineer Conference is available on YouTube, the introduction video is below.
One of the favorites, mentioned last week, was Eric Elliott's video showing how prompting with psuedocodes improve LLM performance.
We shared IBM's white paper about psuedocodes last week, but you'll likely find Eric's 24 minute video a little more engaging.
