AI Roundup: DeepSeek’s Big Moves, Claude 3.7, and the Latest Breakthroughs

Feb 28 2025 30 mins

This week, we're mixing things up a little bit. Instead of diving deep into a single research paper, we cover the biggest AI developments from the past few weeks. We break down key announcements, including: DeepSeek’s Big Launch Week: A look at FlashMLA (DeepSeek’s new approach to efficient inference) and DeepEP (their enhanced pretraining method).Claude 3.7 & Claude Code:

How DeepSeek is Pushing the Boundaries of AI Development

Feb 21 2025 29 mins

This week, we dive into DeepSeek. SallyAnn DeLucia, Product Manager at Arize, and Nick Luzio, a Solutions Engineer, break down key insights on a model that have dominating headlines for its significant breakthrough in inference speed over other models. What’s next for AI (and open source)? From training strategies to real-world performance, here’s what you need to know. Read a

Multiagent Finetuning: A Conversation with Researcher Yilun Du

Feb 04 2025 30 mins

We talk to Google DeepMind Senior Research Scientist (and incoming Assistant Professor at Harvard), Yilun Du, about his latest paper "Multiagent Finetuning: Self Improvement with Diverse Reasoning Chains." This paper introduces a multiagent finetuning framework that enhances the performance and diversity of language models by employing a society of agents with distinct roles, impro

Training Large Language Models to Reason in Continuous Latent Space

Jan 14 2025 24 mins

LLMs have typically been restricted to reason in the "language space," where chain-of-thought (CoT) is used to solve complex reasoning problems. But a new paper argues that language space may not always be the best for reasoning. In this paper read, we cover an exciting new technique from a team at Meta called Chain of Continuous Thought—also known as "Coconut." In the paper, "Tr

LLMs as Judges: A Comprehensive Survey on LLM-Based Evaluation Methods

Dec 23 2024 28 mins

We discuss a major survey of work and research on LLM-as-Judge from the last few years. "LLMs-as-Judges: A Comprehensive Survey on LLM-based Evaluation Methods" systematically examines the LLMs-as-Judge framework across five dimensions: functionality, methodology, applications, meta-evaluation, and limitations. This survey gives us a birds eye view of the advantages, limitations an

Merge, Ensemble, and Cooperate! A Survey on Collaborative LLM Strategies

Dec 10 2024 28 mins

LLMs have revolutionized natural language processing, showcasing remarkable versatility and capabilities. But individual LLMs often exhibit distinct strengths and weaknesses, influenced by differences in their training corpora. This diversity poses a challenge: how can we maximize the efficiency and utility of LLMs? A new paper, "Merge, Ensemble, and Cooperate: A Survey on Collabor

Agent-as-a-Judge: Evaluate Agents with Agents

Nov 22 2024 24 mins

This week, we break down the “Agent-as-a-Judge” framework—a new agent evaluation paradigm that’s kind of like getting robots to grade each other’s homework. Where typical evaluation methods focus solely on outcomes or demand extensive manual work, this approach uses agent systems to evaluate agent systems, offering intermediate feedback throughout the task-solving process

Introduction to OpenAI's Realtime API

Nov 12 2024 29 mins

We break down OpenAI’s realtime API. Learn how to seamlessly integrate powerful language models into your applications for instant, context-aware responses that drive user engagement. Whether you’re building chatbots, dynamic content tools, or enhancing real-time collaboration, we walk through the API’s capabilities, potential use cases, and best practices for implementation.

Swarm: OpenAI's Experimental Approach to Multi-Agent Systems

Oct 29 2024 46 mins

As multi-agent systems grow in importance for fields ranging from customer support to autonomous decision-making, OpenAI has introduced Swarm, an experimental framework that simplifies the process of building and managing these systems. Swarm, a lightweight Python library, is designed for educational purposes, stripping away complex abstractions to reveal the foundational concepts

KV Cache Explained

Oct 24 2024 4 mins

In this episode, we dive into the intriguing mechanics behind why chat experiences with models like GPT often start slow but then rapidly pick up speed. The key? The KV cache. This essential but under-discussed component enables the seamless and snappy interactions we expect from modern AI systems. Harrison Chu breaks down how the KV cache works, how it relates to the transformer a
