    sentences:
      - >-
        This remains astonishing to me. I thought a model with the capabilities
        and output quality of GPT-4 needed a datacenter class server with one or
        more $40,000+ GPUs.

        These models take up enough of my 64GB of RAM that I don’t run them
        often—they don’t leave much room for anything else.

        The fact that they run at all is a testament to the incredible training
        and inference performance gains that we’ve figured out over the past
        year. It turns out there was a lot of low-hanging fruit to be harvested
        in terms of model efficiency. I expect there’s still more to come.
      - >-
        In 2024, almost every significant model vendor released multi-modal
        models. We saw the Claude 3 series from Anthropic in March, Gemini 1.5
        Pro in April (images, audio and video), then September brought Qwen2-VL
        and Mistral’s Pixtral 12B and Meta’s Llama 3.2 11B and 90B vision
        models. We got audio input and output from OpenAI in October, then
        November saw SmolVLM from Hugging Face and December saw image and video
        models from Amazon Nova.

        In October I upgraded my LLM CLI tool to support multi-modal models via
        attachments. It now has plugins for a whole collection of different
        vision models.
      - >-
        OpenAI made GPT-4o free for all users in May, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet was
        freely available from its launch in June. This was a momentus change,
        because for the previous year free users had mostly been restricted to
        GPT-3.5 level models, meaning new users got a very inaccurate mental
        model of what a capable LLM could actually do.

        That era appears to have ended, likely permanently, with OpenAI’s launch
        of ChatGPT Pro. This $200/month subscription service is the only way to
        access their most capable model, o1 Pro.

        Since the trick behind the o1 series (and the future models it will
        undoubtedly inspire) is to expend more compute time to get better
        results, I don’t think those days of free access to the best available
        models are likely to return.

    sentences:

        The environmental impact got much, much worse

        The much bigger problem here is the enormous competitive buildout of the
        infrastructure that is imagined to be necessary for these models in the
        future.

        Companies like Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon are all spending
        billions of dollars rolling out new datacenters, with a very material
        impact on the electricity grid and the environment. There’s even talk of
        spinning up new nuclear power stations, but those can take decades.

        Is this infrastructure necessary? DeepSeek v3’s $6m training cost and
        the continued crash in LLM prices might hint that it’s not. But would
        you want to be the big tech executive that argued NOT to build out this
        infrastructure only to be proven wrong in a few years’ time?
      - >-
        An interesting point of comparison here could be the way railways rolled
        out around the world in the 1800s. Constructing these required enormous
        investments and had a massive environmental impact, and many of the
        lines that were built turned out to be unnecessary—sometimes multiple
        lines from different companies serving the exact same routes!

        The resulting bubbles contributed to several financial crashes, see
        Wikipedia for Panic of 1873, Panic of 1893, Panic of 1901 and the UK’s
        Railway Mania. They left us with a lot of useful infrastructure and a
        great deal of bankruptcies and environmental damage.

        The year of slop
      - >-
        Those US export regulations on GPUs to China seem to have inspired some
        very effective training optimizations!

        The environmental impact got better

        A welcome result of the increased efficiency of the models—both the
        hosted ones and the ones I can run locally—is that the energy usage and
        environmental impact of running a prompt has dropped enormously over the
        past couple of years.

        OpenAI themselves are charging 100x less for a prompt compared to the
        GPT-3 days. I have it on good authority that neither Google Gemini nor
        Amazon Nova (two of the least expensive model providers) are running
        prompts at a loss.

        The year of slop
      - >-
        A lot of people are excited about AI agents—an infuriatingly vague term
        that seems to be converging on “AI systems that can go away and act on
        your behalf”. We’ve been talking about them all year, but I’ve seen few
        if any examples of them running in production, despite lots of exciting
        prototypes.

        I think this is because of gullibility.

        Can we solve this? Honestly, I’m beginning to suspect that you can’t
        fully solve gullibility without achieving AGI. So it may be quite a
        while before those agent dreams can really start to come true!

        Code may be the best application

        Over the course of the year, it’s become increasingly clear that writing
        code is one of the things LLMs are most capable of.
      - >-
        The boring yet crucial secret behind good system prompts is test-driven
        development. You don’t write down a system prompt and find ways to test
        it. You write down tests and find a system prompt that passes them.


        It’s become abundantly clear over the course of 2024 that writing good
        automated evals for LLM-powered systems is the skill that’s most needed
        to build useful applications on top of these models. If you have a
        strong eval suite you can adopt new models faster, iterate better and
        build more reliable and useful product features than your competition.

    sentences:
      - >-
        So far, I think they’re a net positive. I’ve used them on a personal
        level to improve my productivity (and entertain myself) in all sorts of
        different ways. I think people who learn how to use them effectively can
        gain a significant boost to their quality of life.

        A lot of people are yet to be sold on their value! Some think their
        negatives outweigh their positives, some think they are all hot air, and
        some even think they represent an existential threat to humanity.

        They’re actually quite easy to build

        The most surprising thing we’ve learned about LLMs this year is that
        they’re actually quite easy to build.
      - >-
        DeepSeek v3 is a huge 685B parameter model—one of the largest openly
        licensed models currently available, significantly bigger than the
        largest of Meta’s Llama series, Llama 3.1 405B.

        Benchmarks put it up there with Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Vibe benchmarks (aka
        the Chatbot Arena) currently rank it 7th, just behind the Gemini 2.0 and
        OpenAI 4o/o1 models. This is by far the highest ranking openly licensed
        model.

        The really impressive thing about DeepSeek v3 is the training cost. The
        model was trained on 2,788,000 H800 GPU hours at an estimated cost of
        $5,576,000. Llama 3.1 405B trained 30,840,000 GPU hours—11x that used by
        DeepSeek v3, for a model that benchmarks slightly worse.

        When @v0 first came out we were paranoid about protecting the prompt
        with all kinds of pre and post processing complexity.

        We completely pivoted to let it rip. A prompt without the evals, models,
        and especially UX is like getting a broken ASML machine without a manual

    sentences:
      - >-
        Intuitively, one would expect that systems this powerful would take
        millions of lines of complex code. Instead, it turns out a few hundred
        lines of Python is genuinely enough to train a basic version!

        What matters most is the training  data. You need a lot of data to make
        these things work, and the quantity and quality of the training data
        appears to be the most important factor in how good the resulting model
        is.

        If you can gather the right data, and afford to pay for the GPUs to
        train it, you can build an LLM.
      - >-
        Terminology aside, I remain skeptical as to their utility based, once
        again, on the challenge of gullibility. LLMs believe anything you tell
        them. Any systems that attempts to make meaningful decisions on your
        behalf will run into the same roadblock: how good is a travel agent, or
        a digital assistant, or even a research tool if it can’t distinguish
        truth from fiction?

        Just the other day Google Search was caught serving up an entirely fake
        description of the non-existant movie “Encanto 2”. It turned out to be
        summarizing an imagined movie listing from a fan fiction wiki.
      - >-
        The two main categories I see are people who think AI agents are
        obviously things that go and act on your behalf—the travel agent
        model—and people who think in terms of LLMs that have been given access
        to tools which they can run in a loop as part of solving a problem. The
        term “autonomy” is often thrown into the mix too, again without
        including a clear definition.

        (I also collected 211 definitions on Twitter a few months ago—here they
        are in Datasette Lite—and had gemini-exp-1206 attempt to summarize
        them.)

        Whatever the term may mean, agents still have that feeling of
        perpetually “coming soon”.
