    It's here: We just hit superhuman performance on AI kernel optimization! Real customer models & production settings. Not toy problems (what I typically see). This is the year that Claude writes its own kernels, Codex its own kernels, for every new GPU that it wants to run on --

    I really wanted to illustrate long stories with Stable Diffusion! So, hacked together this pipeline: Long text -> GPT-3 suggests illustration ideas -> GPT-3 translates from English to "prompt-English" -> Stable Diffusion outputs images Open source 👇🏿

    I'm honored to be in MIT Tech Review's 35 under 35! I remember when I was told "you'll never be technical: you like people too much" and "Maybe you should do business!" Motivated me for a decade or two. Had to prove them wrong. You can do both. 🧵

    a dating app where ChatGPT runs simulations between you and other people, prompted by your dating profiles. then, it matches you if your conversations work out. okay that was a black mirror episode, but it could ~actually~ happen now, who's doing it

    Excited to teach GANs @Stanford this winter! - Come 🎨 like Monet, without lifting a brush - Come visualize the effects of climate change w/ flood scenes of your🏘 - Come take creative risks & leave with something you've generated that you're proud of 🤩 cs236g.stanford.edu

    The more of an expert you are, the more you feel you’re “late to the party” when something new comes out. I felt late to AI in 2015, late to generative AI in 2017. Idk who needs to hear this but: it’s still just beginning. You’re not late at all. Come make some noise.

    The only way to truly understand something is to build it. And debug the shit out of it.

    Excited to announce a HUGE secret with @LisaSu: @LaminiAI has been building LLMs on @AMD GPUs *in production* for over the past year! We’ve made running LLMs on AMD super easy and a highly competitive option through our LLM Superstation, available now at ~10x lower cost than

    I never really told this story, but my plan was to drop out of my @Stanford PhD to start a company. Like Larry & Sergey did for Google. But I got so enamored by the magic of generative AI, even back when it was outputting 💩, that the joke was I *failed to drop out*. I've now
