The Importance of Multimodal Data in AI
Chip Huyan explains that incorporating multiple modalities, like text, image, and audio, into machine learning models is crucial for AI to operate effectively in the real world. She highlights the shift from single modality models to large multimodal models (LLMs). Various organizations, including DeepMind, Salesforce, Microsoft, Tencent, and OpenAI, have already embraced LLMs, with OpenAI's GPT being an example. Chip's detailed post on the topic provides valuable insights into this evolving field.
Zimaboard: A Dream Home Server Setup
Herman Ounapu reviews the Zimaboard, a small single board computer that stands out for its polished design and impressive features. Unlike other single board computers like the Raspberry Pi, the Zimaboard comes with a pre-attached case and cooling setup, giving it a more refined feel. Herman discusses the board's storage, power consumption, performance, and concludes that it meets his needs, working fast, consuming very little power, and being silent. If you're looking for a home server setup, the Zimaboard is definitely worth considering.
