If you're interested in language, AI, and cognition, this is the *must-watch* video of the week: Debate a few days ago between Dr. @emilymbender.bsky.social and Dr. @sbubeck.bsky.social on whether chatbots can "understand". Was a lively and fun debate to watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtIQ...

Hey physicians, now is actually the exact time we need to all be talking about racism and health equity. Everything that is happening is going to worsen disparities. Silence is not an option.

💫...And we're live!💫 Seasonal newsletter from ethicsy folks at @hf.co, exploring the ethics of "AI Agents" huggingface.co/blog/ethics-... Our analyses found: - There's a spectrum of "agent"-ness - *Safety* is a key issue, leading to many other value-based concerns Read for details & what to do next!

I spent my winter break redesigning the Health app with an AI focused approach starting with clinical records. The goal here was to help patients get a deeper understanding of their own records, with the eventual goal of enabling continuous health monitoring and personalized health suggestions.

my wl: - fewer low-hanging proof-of-concept studies (yes, it works for your specialty/organ/classification, too) - fewer head-to-head model comparisons (yes, llama 3.1 was better than llama 2 for your case, but peer review took 8 months, now there’s llama 4) - instead: RCTs, relevant outcomes

I have a feeling that in 2025 we’re going to be seeing an interesting shift in healthcare delivery/medical education thanks to this new crop of LLMs. Hopefully we’ll be seeing more healthcare workers involved in the development, deployment, and evaluation of these systems.

Did you know that 99% of email today is spam? Your inbox isn’t 99% spam because AI is used to filter it. The same 99% will happen here too, but if AI researchers continue to get perma-banned for making available the datasets needed to filter it, it’s going to make this platform unusable.

It's "on-device LLM" today. Soon, it'll be "on-chip" LLM. Or LLM cores. The system default local LLM. The coding framework's default local LLM. I find this incredibly exciting. A privacy-first, self-contained, user-owned AI—a 24/7 agent for action, insights & feedback. github.com/huggingface/...

In case you're doing any sort of on-device inference or training (MLX, GGML, LMStudio), we just released a free and sudo-less menu bar utility to track CPU (E/P cores), GPU, and ANE usage in real time! Link: github.com/cyrilzakka/EMG

We need more open-source models, datasets & apps in AI healthcare. It makes it not only more likely to benefit everyone but also much safer, controllable and respects privacy! Great initiative so that everyone can build their own open-source AI health tracker for $12: huggingface.co/blog/cyrilza...

new blog post: all about transformers! covering the intuition behind an "attention only" network, building up an understanding of scaled dot product attention, and detailing the original transform architecture. let me know what you think! 🙏

Understanding the Transformer architecture for neural networks
The attention mechanism allows us to merge a variable-length sequence of vectors into a fixed-size context vector. What if we could use this mechanism to entirely replace recurrence for sequential modeling? This blog post covers the Transformer architecture which explores such an approach.
