LangChain exists to make it as easy as possible to develop LLM-powered applications.
… Today, we’re introducing LangSmith, a platform to help developers close the gap between prototype and production. It’s designed for building and iterating on products that can harness the power–and wrangle the complexity–of LLMs.
LangSmith is now in closed beta. So if you’re looking for a robust, unified, system for debugging, testing, evaluating, and monitoring your LLM applications, sign up here. — Read More

… Scale Generative AI Data Engine powers the most advanced LLMs and generative models in the world through world-class RLHF, data generation, model evaluation, safety, and alignment. — Read More
Earlier today we reported on Meta announcing and launching Llama 2, the next-generation version of its large language model for generative AI apps and services. Now, there’s word of a new partnership between Meta and Qualcomm that will allow Llama 2 to be used on mobile devices powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon chips.
In a press release, Qualcomm stated the goal was to allow those devices to run Llama 2-based apps and services on those devices, without the need for them to connect to a cloud-based service like other current generative AI products use such as ChatGPT and Bing Chat. — Read More
The company hopes that making LLaMA 2 open source might give it the edge over rivals like OpenAI.
Meta is going all in on open-source AI. The company is today unveiling LLaMA 2, its first large language model that’s available for anyone to use—for free.
Since OpenAI released its hugely popular AI chatbot ChatGPT last November, tech companies have been racing to release models in hopes of overthrowing its supremacy. Meta has been in the slow lane. In February when competitors Microsoft and Google announced their AI chatbots, Meta rolled out the first, smaller version of LLaMA, restricted to researchers. But it hopes that releasing LLaMA 2, and making it free for anyone to build commercial products on top of, will help it catch up. — Read More
What are our LLMs actually trained on, and are we actually running out of data?
In April, we released our first AI Fundamentals episode: Benchmarks 101. We covered the history of benchmarks, why they exist, how they are structured, and how they influence the development of artificial intelligence.
Today we are (finally!) releasing Datasets 101! We’re really enjoying doing this series despite the work it takes – please let us know what else you want us to cover! — Read More
Beloved musician Elis Regina died aged 36 in 1982 but a new Volkswagen commercial shows her duetting with her daughter
The premature death in 1982 of one of Brazil’s most treasured musicians left her homeland reeling. “Brazil without Elis,” mourned one front page after the legendary singer Elis Regina unexpectedly died at the age of 36.
So when Elis Regina recently re-emerged, performing a soul-stirring duet with her daughter, the Grammy-winning singer Maria Rita, there were similarly charged scenes of catharsis and nostalgia. — Read More
… Today, Meta announced CM3Leon (“chameleon” in clumsy leetspeak), an AI model that the company claims achieves state-of-the-art performance for text-to-image generation. CM3Leon is also distinguished by being one of the first image generators capable of generating captions for images, laying the groundwork for more capable image-understanding models going forward, Meta says.
“With CM3Leon’s capabilities, image generation tools can produce more coherent imagery that better follows the input prompts,” Meta wrote in a blog post shared with TechCrunch earlier this week. “We believe CM3Leon’s strong performance across a variety of tasks is a step toward higher-fidelity image generation and understanding.” — Read More
