This Week I Learned -  * AutoML tools not only empower people without machine learning expertise to build and use effective models but may also make ML methods available to everyone. *  Enterprise h2oGPTe is a language model that provides information retrieval on internal data, privately hosts LLMs, and secures data so it stays with you. * In case of Open Source h2oGPT , you own your models: generative and predictive.  * API keys for programmatic access are provided with usage limits * H2O LLM Studio provides organizations with a no-code fine-tuning framework to make their own custom state-of-the-art LLMs for enterprise applications. * H2O.ai created first Open Source AI for Enterprise, first .ai domain *  EvalGPT.ai  provides a customizable evaluation and validation framework that is model agnostic, allowing for the assessment of various AI models without being tied to a specific one. *  AI Comic Factory allows you to create comics using its AI Comic Generator. You can use AI Comi

As a self-taught nutrition enthusiast , I have been contributing to the crowdsourced India database of Open Food Facts - "the Wikipedia of food", by adding and editing products. The decentralized open source project has data on more than 3 million products (as of April 2024) from countries around the world. Open Food Facts (OFF) data is released as Open Data: it can be reused freely by anyone, under the Open Database License (ODBL).  I've been cleaning up & compiling the data by food categories to extract insights . There are multiple ways to get the data : CSV or Excel format using the advanced search feature MongoDB daily export - more than 30GB uncompressed! JSONL daily export CSV daily export API As I was interested in select product features and macronutrient details, I decided to use the OFF API. This is how the process for compiling data for each food category currently goes: 1. I construct the following URL with the fields I require to fetch the nutrition dat

In the TED talk, AI Is Turning into Something Totally New , Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman proposes that a more apt metaphor for AI is a new digital species .  I predict that we'll come to see them as digital companions, new partners in the journeys of all our lives. ...waves of history are clearly speeding up, as each one is amplified and accelerated by the last. And if you look back, it's clear that we are in the fastest and most consequential wave ever. The journeys of humanity and technology are now deeply intertwined.  ...today, the most advanced AIs consume more than eight trillion words in a single month of training. And all of this is set to continue.  ...just as the internet gave us the browser and the smartphone gave us apps, the cloud-based supercomputer is ushering in a new era of ubiquitous AIs. Everything will soon be represented by a conversational interface. Or, to put it another way, a personal AI. And these AIs will be infinitely knowledgeable, and soon the
