12/20/2023: Project Obsidian - Multimodal Mistral 7B from Nous
Project Obsidian is a multimodal model being trained publicly, tracked by Teknium on the Nous Discord. Discussions include 4M: Massively Multimodal Masked Modeling and Reason.dev, a TypeScript framework for LLM applications. The OpenAI Discord community discussed hardware specs for running TensorFlow JS for image detection, security API ideas for filtering inappropriate images, and concerns about racial and cultural bias in AI, especially in facial recognition and healthcare. Challenges with GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 in word puzzle games were noted, along with GPU recommendations prioritizing VRAM for AI inference. Users also debated GPT-4's vision capabilities, limitations of DALL·E 3, platform access issues, and prompting strategies for better outputs.
