Announcing LangSmith, a unified platform for debugging, testing, evaluating, and monitoring your LLM applications

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

Meta’s latest AI model is free for all 

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

How to Use AI to Do Stuff: An Opinionated Guide

Increasingly powerful AI systems are being released at an increasingly rapid pace. This week saw the debut of Claude 2, likely the second most capable AI system available to the public. The week before, Open AI released Code Interpreter, the most sophisticated mode of AI yet available. The week before that, some AIs got the ability to see images.

And yet not a single AI lab seems to have provided any user documentation. Instead, the only user guides out there appear to be Twitter influencer threads. Documentation-by-rumor is a weird choice for organizations claiming to be concerned about proper use of their technologies, but here we are.

I can’t claim that this is going to be a complete user guide, but it will serve as a bit of orientation to the current state of AI. — Read More

Train Your AI Model Once and Deploy on Any Cloud with NVIDIA and Run:ai

Organizations are increasingly adopting hybrid and multi-cloud strategies to access the latest compute resources, consistently support worldwide customers, and optimize cost. However, a major challenge that engineering teams face is operationalizing AI applications across different platforms as the stack changes. This requires MLOps teams to familiarize themselves with different environments and developers to customize applications to run across target platforms.

NVIDIA offers a consistent, full stack to develop on a GPU-powered on-premises or on-cloud instance. You can then deploy that AI application on any GPU-powered platform without code changes.

The NVIDIA Cloud Native Stack Virtual Machine Image (VMI) is GPU-accelerated. It comes pre-installed with Cloud Native Stack, which is a reference architecture that includes upstream Kubernetes and the NVIDIA GPU Operator. NVIDIA Cloud Native Stack VMI enables you to build, test, and run GPU-accelerated containerized applications orchestrated by Kubernetes. — Read More

gpt-author

This project utilizes a chain of GPT-4 and Stable Diffusion API calls to generate an original fantasy novel. Users can provide an initial prompt and enter how many chapters they’d like it to be, and the AI then generates an entire novel, outputting an EPUB file compatible with e-book readers.

A 15-chapter novel can cost as little as $4 to produce, and is written in just a few minutes. — Read More

Project S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y — A Vocal Computing Toolbox

A toolbox for vocal computing built with Pionwhisper.cpp, and Coqui TTS. Build your own personal, self-hosted J.A.R.V.I.S powered by WebRTC

Project S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y is a toolbox for vocal computing. It provides tools to build elegant vocal interfaces to modern LLMs. The goal of this project is to foster a community of like minded individuals who want to bring forth the technology we have been promised in sci-fi movies for decades. It aims to be highly modular and flexible while staying decoupled from specific AI Models. This allows for seamless upgrades when new AI technology is released. — Read More

What is Langchain and why should I care as a developer?

Langchain is one of the fastest growing open source projects in history, in large part due to the explosion of interest in LLM’s.

This post explores some of the cool thing that langchain helps developers do from a 30,000 foot overview. It was written for my own benefit as I explored the framework and I hope it helps you if you are also curios where langchain might be useful.

Some of the features that make langchain so powerful include allowing you to connect data to language models (like OpenAI’s GPT models via the API) and create agent workflows (more on agents later). — Read More
