I saw this a couple weeks back on crates because I wanted a taskwarrior alternative on windows. Haven't tried it yet, but seems interesting. The NLP features are something that more task apps should implement.
Re:Transformers on Chips on Saturday December 16, 2023 @07:52PM (#38669345)
Isn't this kinda pigeonholing yourself to one neural network architecture? Are we sure that transformers will take us to the promised land? Chip design is a pretty expensive and time consuming process, so if a new architecture comes out that is sufficiently different from the current transformer model wouldn't they have to design a completely new chip? The compute unit design is probably similar from architecture to architecture, so maybe I am misunderstanding...
You have to look at the pre-trained models and not the "tuned" models. Its number one in that category (which is what I think they are referring to, given the benchmarks are against Mistral and llama)
Judging based on how difficult it was to transition to also making AMD mainboards, I doubt we would see this for YEARS.

This is quite a lazy way to say that using a product is "morally lazy"

I really like this. Where I work, my boss just picks a place on Airbnb near the beach, and we stay there for the weekend. Will recommend this to my boss.
