It isn’t released yet, but the thing akin to this that Roblox is working on (to be open-weights) most likely is voxel-based.

This would be a big undertaking to get working for just one language+package-manager combination, but would be beautiful if it worked.

Chub AI | REMOTE | Mid-level frontend engineer | Full-time or Contract | TypeScript

We are the largest generative AI gaming platform, entirely self-funded and profitable since August 2023.

Our frontend is React TypeScript, and the bulk of the backend APIs are Flask. We’re looking for someone with a relevant degree and a few years of experience, for exclusively or mostly frontend work. An eye for design and aesthetics is needed as we have none. Ever having worked with Ant Design, Capacitor, or react-three-fiber would be a big plus. Your most likely first project would be a better UI for our image and video generation API.

How to Apply: Send however you prefer to represent yourself — a resume, a site, a GitHub, all or none of the above — along with salary expectations to [email protected].

Stripe will take pretty much any excuse to terminate an account and pocket the money. At this point it might as well be part of their business model.
This has been possible for well over a year, just not with OpenAI’s API specifically.
Re:QLoRA: Efficient Finetuning of Quantized LLMs on Friday May 26, 2023 @07:50AM (#36082877)
Very, very recently. In the past few days. I tried it out immediately because GPTQ-for-LLaMA and hunting for or making quantized models can be tedious, but it was disappointingly slow. On a 3090 where I was getting responses for a given 13B model in 10-30 seconds, just using transformers with load_in_4bit took about ten times that for each response. There’s also the storage benefit of using actually quantized models.
