Last week we announced Ansa's second AI-adjacent investment of 2024, @DefenseUnicorns. A belief underpinning this new investment is our POV that 'model-centric AI,' which has dominated the early stages of AI development and seen amazing progress over the years, has true limitations.
In contrast, we believe businesses on the bleeding edge of 'data-centric AI' have sustainable competitive advantages - including reduced hardware dependency.
Josh and I expand on these views in @AnsaCapital's latest Open Spaces: ansa.co/insight/opportunitie…

Check out GitHub.com/defenseunicorns/l…. It’ll stay Apache 2.0. Looking to eventually get it into a foundation. We need to improve our HuggingFace API front end but it’s there, alongside OpenAI’s.

This is a local model running on LeapfrogAI hooked up to Slack with 30 lines of code, running a 7B chat tuned model at 60 tokens/second on the GPU on my laptop.
It was doing this while several others were asking questions (including long ones) and getting responses in parallel.

The Twitter algorithm was cracked by the mastermind behind the new #Bitcoin thesis, Softwar.
@JasonPLowery was able to psyops others by systemically exploiting how Twitter works.
And he did it not only once, but twice!

Yesterday I was on a plane with bad wifi, which somehow gave me the idea to package Zarf from @DefenseUnicorns into @wolfi_os!
The zarf tool makes devsecops easy in an air gapped environment and now you can use it in @chainguard_dev images!
