RT to help Simon raise awareness of prompt injection attacks in LLMs.
Feels a bit like the wild west of early computing, with computer viruses (now = malicious prompts hiding in web data/tools), and not well developed defenses (antivirus, or a lot more developed kernel/user space security paradigm where e.g. an agent is given very specific action types instead of the ability to run arbitrary bash scripts).
Conflicted because I want to be an early adopter of LLM agents in my personal computing but the wild west of possibility is holding me back.

I just posted the first of what will be several chapters about transformers, which in the last year has been the most requested topic for the channel.

I wrote a very long post on what a machine learning artifact is, how files work, safetensors, pickle, and a lot more, as a way to understand GGUF.
Thanks especially to everyone in this thread who added historical context around safetensors.

Evaluating LLMs is HARD, so I'm excited to share a bit of what we've been working on at @MozillaAI from the NeurIPS 1 LLM + 1GPU + 1Day challenge last fall.
The write-up includes background on eval + repo with sample K8s infra. More soon!

🚀 I've just launched the landing page for the Python Developer Tooling Handbook!
A free ebook where I will dive deep into the tools that make Python development a breeze (from packaging to linting, type checking to formatting).

New YouTube video: 1hr general-audience introduction to Large Language Models
youtube.com/watch?v=zjkBMFhN…
Based on a 30min talk I gave recently; It tries to be non-technical intro, covers mental models for LLM inference, training, finetuning, the emerging LLM OS and LLM Security.

True, personally, I think the best and shortest definition is that
"Embeddings are learned transformations to make data more useful" from Roy Keyes.
But a few examples like in Simon's blog post help illustrate the useful part.

I'm writing an updated version of The Illustrated Transformer for the upcoming Hands-On LLMs book I'm co-writing with @MaartenGr.
What updates/developments in the past 5 years do you feel should be a definitive addition to an intro to the architecture? Lots of additions to models have been proposed/tried, but which have stood the test of time?

Anti-hype LLM Reading List
This is actually a really good list of papers and reading materials on LLMs. Love the curation by @vboykis.

This talk is the most complete version of my thinking around Large Language Models to date, including thoughts on personal AI ethics, practical applications and the enormous impact we are already feeling from Llama 2
