Exploring the Cutting Edge: Key Trends in the LLM and Generative AI Developer Community

July 27, 2023 · 3 minutes · 2 photos

From AI Tinkerers’ proposals, trends focus on democratizing access (Skyglass, LEDITS, Relevance AI), automating workflows (Watto AI, Autonomous Finance, Cody), customizing experiences (Sonic Link, ai-jsx, MenuGPT), and multimodal/knowledge-synthesis work (Decoupage, AnswerCast, System Pro). Core challenges remain data engineering, scalable infra, prompt engineering, and intuitive UI design.

Architecture Maestro from Now On

March 22, 2023 · 3 minutes

Architecture maestro mode with GPT-4: I outline objectives and have it code; for my 20-year home NAS of photos (Ruby/rsync/glacier), it pulls EXIF, reverse-geocodes, writes index.json per folder with hashes, rewrites and fixes gems, parallelizes IO, adds a progress bar and mutex; result runs in minutes, saving a day.

Today I launched DREAM.page, an AI-first personal publishing platform that lets me apply LLM learnings in a real app. It’s early, I’m excited to see how people use it. Check the video walkthrough and sign up at dream.page; DM me to move from wait list to product.

LONDON, Oct 23 — Former prime minister Boris Johnson pulled out of Britain's leadership contest, saying he had enough MPs to progress but far fewer than front-runner Rishi Sunak. Our AI-assisted blog post pairs this with image prompts and renders created via GPT-3 and Stable Diffusion.

Is this a photo of a doing his business? Or just a dog hanging out?
My dog Kona has a nasty habit of doing her business in a very particular spot in the upstairs of our house. Using this model, I'll be able to aim a
camera at that spot and send a text alert whenever she does this, so I'll have a better chance of correcting the bad behavior in the moment, which is
essential to training a dog.

My first deep learning model: Doo Doo Detective

September 26, 2022 · 3 minutes · 2 photos

Using Fast AI’s Practical Deep Learning for Coders, I fine-tuned ResNet-18 for a dog-pooping detector, training on images from DuckDuckGo and validating with a confusion matrix. I deployed a Gradio app on Hugging Face Spaces (sloppyjoe/doodoodetective) in ~2 hours; DALL·E 2 in-painting blocked dog-pooping content.

Add photos to posts by selecting a description and clicking 'stable diffusion'—the system auto-inserts an tag and generates image results (e.g., “photo of a cute puppy jumping through a muddy pond, nikon d50, 100mm, bokeh”). It also supports magic tags like and for styling.

Markdown
For fun, I'm creating the blogging software I've always wanted. One aspect is the idea of enabling
handwritten posts and beautiful visuals for the photos without much (any?) effort. It's a work in
progress, but here are some examples so far.
The editor looks like this:
Pretty simple, but also powerful.

Let's test some photo frame renders!

July 17, 2022 · 3 minutes · 15 photos

I'm building the blogging software I've always wanted, with handwritten posts and automatic photo framing. The new editor (~48 hours old) supports , wrappers, and (wood-frame-landscape/portrait, gallery-frame-portrait) that auto-orient images. Code blocks format nicely; Disqus integration with Octopress — I'll show you how in this post.
