If You Can’t Wait 5 Years: Start Experimenting with AI for Robotics Today
In my last post, I discussed why the ChatGPT moment for robotics is likely still 5 years away. But if you can’t wait that long, this post has practical advice on how to start experimenting today. Be warned: the ecosystem is fragmented, the learning curve is steep, and (AI + hardware) == quirky. If you thought LLMs […]
Robot Foundation Models Are Not What I Was Expecting (I’m 5 Years Too Early)
When Physical Intelligence announced the π0 foundation model, I thought a ChatGPT moment in robotics was near. Here was a model that could control different kinds of robots to perform a variety of dexterous tasks. It could fold clothes, make coffee, assemble cardboard boxes, and more. I thought we’d get another post like swyx’s signaling robotics as an emerging capability of the […]
NeurIPS 2024 Developer Tools You Can Deploy & Use Today!
I learned about these open source and commercially licensed tools for developers at NeurIPS 2024. Most of the tools on this list are new to me, but not new to the world. You can deploy and use them today! …pssst – if your manager or your client would rather you make something from scratch instead […]
Demystifying Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Business Leaders
Since OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022, AI has become the coolest (or at least, most used) acronym of the day. As a business leader, one might wonder what the terms thrown around mean and how to separate truth from hype. This post explains machine learning and AI terminology in simple language, to be able to […]
How AI in Customer Service Helps Humans Do More Than Ever Before
AI is changing every facet of our lives, from the way we cook to the way we work. Customer service is the most important aspect of any business. It defines the relationship between business and customers. Like all aspects of work, AI is changing how we approach customer service. Full Automation? More Like Fool Automation […]
How Autonomous AI Agents Leverage Text Completion Capabilities
This is the fourth post in a series that looks at how autonomous agents use generative AI models. Introduction The previous post showed how programmatic interactions with Open AI’s language models function. In this post, we’ll look at how two different autonomous agents (BabyAGI and Auto-GPT) leverage these capabilities. Agents like these provide a way […]
Chatting With A LLM – Using the Open AI APIs
This is the third post in a series that looks at how autonomous agents use generative AI models. Introduction The previous post discussed how the text completion and chat completion capabilities work generally. It also showed some examples of prompts and responses. In this post, we’ll see how to use Open AI’s API to perform […]
Probabilistic Chatting – How Text Completions and Chat Completions Work Behind the Scenes
This is the second post in a series that looks at how autonomous agents use generative AI models. Introduction The previous post introduced transformers and how they impacted recent natural language processing (NLP) developments. In this post, we’ll take a look at how this sort of transformer model works with completion and chat completion interactions. […]
The Rise of Transformers-An Introduction to AI Transformers and LLMs
This is the first post in a series that looks at how autonomous agents use generative AI models. Introduction The past few years have included rapid advancements in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). These advancements are particularly demonstrable in the natural language processing (NLP) domain. Newer transformer based models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in […]
Identifying AI Opportunities: A Hypothetical Case Study
Previously, we discussed how there is a large class of business problems that AI can address. Here, we’re going to follow up that thought with a hypothetical case study. In particular, we’ll look at how AI could be part of a product for addressing elder care. When we hear elder care and artificial intelligence some remarkable […]
Identifying AI Opportunities
We often hear or read that artificial intelligence will change the world as we know it. This misses the mark; AI has changed the world that we live in forever. It isn’t some futuristic technology that will alter our lives someday. It’s a feature in products that we interact with today. Artificial intelligence isn’t a […]
DIY AI: Sentiment Analysis P2: Implementation
Blog Post Written By: Lisa Lo Once again, we’re back to discuss sentiment analysis. In our last post, we went over what sentiment analysis is, why it’s useful, and the main approaches to solving sentiment analysis. Now, with all that knowledge in hand, it’s time to start coding our own sentiment analyzers! Setup You’ll need […]
