Hello everybody! Did you pass up the #previous astonishing #Gemini #Workshop? No problem; I'm here to update you on all the #energy and motivation that went down. As I'm #leading the #Gemini AI hackathon at #icodeguru We are #organizing a #workshop. Let me share We got going, plunging profoundly into the #universe of #hackathons, #sharing tips and deceives for #beginners in how to find groups and #tackle difficulties like a star. It was an honest stunner for everybody, making way for what was to come. Then, at that point, we changed #gears and got #active with #Gemini. We investigated its #documentation, #separating its secrets and figuring out how to utilize its programming interface like #champs. Also, prepare to have your mind blown. #Gemini is #Google's response to GPT-4 - discuss state-of-the-art stuff! The #environment was #electric as we dove into the bare essentials of #Gemini. Each new revelation ignited #fervor and interest, and it was great to see everybody so locked in. In any case, what made this #workshop genuinely exceptional was the active experience. We didn't simply discuss Gemini; we took care of #business and created using it. From setting up our current #condition to #composing code, it was a #genuine excursion of #disclosure and #strengthening. Toward the finish of the workshop, we were all humming with #thoughts and motivation. It was #amazing to #perceive the amount we could achieve when we paid attention to it. Thus, #assuming you're prepared to go along with us on this amazing excursion of #development and #revelation, I energetically suggest #plunging into #Gemini. Who can say for sure what mind-blowing things we'll make together? Do you want to know the platform of a hackathon and where to register? I covered all of this.

Whoa whoa whoa!!! Developers as a service! https://lnkd.in/e4pbyJ-e I don’t see this replacing devs and in many ways CoPilot does a better job in narrow cases! I instead see it being a developers intern. It checks your code, sets up unit test, researches issues, submits to repos, works on bugs and writes documentation. Either way it’s a force multiplier for development teams and brings down cost to get features out. Great job Cognition Any comparisons you can share?

I am proud to announce that last weekend, Ilia Zintchenko, Shaw Walters, Vincent Wu, and I clinched the third prize 🥉 at the AGI House Global SF's Open Source Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) hackathon. We competed successfully against dozens of other teams, in the company of amazing judges and sponsors like Mike Knoop (Zapier), Vincent Weisser (Prime Intellect), George Hotz (comma.ai) & Karan Malhotra (Nous Research). We were truly out on the frontier and man was it wild! Our team's project focused on advancing the State Of The Art (SOTA) score in the Abstraction and Reasoning Challenge (ARC) benchmark for Machine Intelligence. Although our eight-hour hackathon stint didn't dramatically advance the SOTA, our novel findings impressed the esteemed judges, genuinely validating our independent research efforts! Notes from the trenches: The ARC benchmark is incredibly engaging and essential for every AI engineer to comprehend and explore. Kudos to Mike Knoop for curating a $1M prize around achieving a 85% score on it! Fantastic vision. ARC assesses using simple-seeming grid-based visual problems a common type of general intelligence that is really hard to tease out of word problems but that we humans use heavily in common situations every day. The ARC challenge tests the capability of the test taker to comprehend abstract objects and understand the interactions between them, and finally challenges the test taker to apply these newly discovered insights to new scenarios — a task where today's large language models (LLMs) lag significantly behind human performance. In word problems that abstract object detection and those relationships are already well-defined within language itself. Current SOTA methodologies for taking the ARC challenge autonomously achieve 60% accuracy (with 85% being the goal for the grand prize, akin to a typical human passing score). They primarily do this by defining a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for abstract transformations between objects, and then training LLMs to create programs in that DSL that can navigate these challenges. The scores currently being attained are simply incredible, especially given that a few months ago 15% was a high bar, and seen as initial proof that LLMs can indeed viably get a decent score at all on this challenge, at least through an agentic combination of some reasoning followed by bulk code generation & repeated evaluation and iteration on said generated code. It's fascinating stuff, exactly the kind of thing you might want to spend a weekend on if you're frustrated by your favorite LLM's inability to reason in agentic situations and are starting to give up hope on AGI. The rapid progress on this challenge in recent months gives me hope that we will indeed see a weak AGI in every pocket this decade. If you decide to get cracking on the challenge or want to learn more, please do get in touch with me!

🌟 My Exciting Experience at BIT V PRAYUKTI'24 ML Hackathon! 🌟 I recently participated in the ML Hackathon at BIT V's PRAYUKTI'24 with my team: Prabha M, Shalini R, Prithivi raj R, and Saravana Kumar M.

👋 Hello, fellow professionals! 🌟 As an IT professional and machines enthusiast, I’ve been pondering the fascinating parallels between rocket science and enterprise software. 🚀💻 Let’s dive into this cosmic conundrum, shall we? Imagine Enterprise software as a sleek, shiny rocket fresh off the assembly line, just like a Raptor 3 Engine (reliable, straightforward and gets the job done). It’s like the “Easy Bake Oven” of software – just add water (or data) and voilà! 🍰 With time, IT professionals starts sprinkling the IT systems with cosmic dust – a dash of custom code here, a pinch of business logic there and a hint of unchecked coding practices. And ultimately, the IT systems become the Raptor 1 Engine (more complicated than a spider’s knitting project, like a Rubik’s Cube on steroids). 🔥 Where rocket scientists simplify over time (Raptor 3 > Raptor 1). IT? We’re go the opposite way (Raptor 1 > Raptor 3)! Our software evolves like a rebellious teenager – more features, more bugs, more existential crises. 🤯 So, next time you’re knee-deep in spaghetti code, remember: Complexity is our cosmic calling. Embrace it, laugh at it, and maybe, just maybe, launch a rocket while you’re at it. 🚀 Disclaimer: No actual rockets were harmed in the making of this post. But a few lines of JavaScript might’ve cried. 🤣 👍 Like if you’ve ever debugged at 3 AM! 💬 Comment with your favorite cosmic analogy. 🚀 Share if you believe IT complexity is our ticket to the stars! P.S. If you’re still reading this, congrats! You’ve unlocked the “Nerdy Achievement Badge.” 🤓 #CodeNebula #RocketScience #SoftwareGalaxy #SpaceX #ElonMusk #Raptor3 #ITLife #ITProfessional #OneDayinIT #CodeCraftsmanship #TechTales #ByteSizeWisdom #TechHumor SpaceX #SiebelCRM #Siebel
