Whenever you enter a URL into a system, it must be parsed and validated. It is a surprisingly challenging task: it may require hundreds of nanoseconds and possibly over a thousand cycles to parse a typical URL. We can use URL parsing as a reasonable benchmark of a system performance. Of course, no single measure … Continue reading Graviton 3, Apple M2 and Qualcomm 8cx 3rd gen: a URL parsing benchmark

New study checks potential applications, anti-fraud possibilities of blockchain.

The most advanced foundation models for AI are only partially open-source and are only available through commercial APIs. This restricts their use and limits research and customization. However, a project called RedPajama now aims to create leading, fully open-source models. The first step of this project, reproducing the LLaMA training dataset, has been completed. Open-source models have made significant progress recently, and AI is experiencing a moment similar to the Linux movement. Stable Diffusion demonstrated that open-source models could compete with commercial offerings and encourage creativity through community participation. A similar movement has now emerged around large language models, with
