Here’s today at a glance:
🌎 Google Moves The World Forward

It does seem to be a breakthrough:
Looong Context - Up to 10 million tokens, with perfect recall in needle in the haystack tests
Multimodal - hours of video and audio
Reasoning about code, audio, and video
Working with large codebases
It’s a large mixture of experts
Maybe in 6 months when Google finally allows open access, we’ll finally be able to figure out whether it’s better than GPT-4. But if they actually solved the large codebase problem without burning too many GPUs at inference, we may be on the precipice of the next great leap forward.

This is going to accelerate everything. Creating an entire world in 3D engines like Unreal, with what used to take $100 million dollars coming down to $100 dollars. Create movies and ads. It’s 3 years of progress in a day.

🗞️ Things Happen and Happen and Happen
There’s just simply not enough words or time to capture what happened on Thursday, February 15, 2024. The above must do for now. The open source catchup trajectory is very steep for now.

Oh well.
