Testing out offline language model (SmolLM2-360M) along with in-browser database (pglite.dev with pgvector) for a completely local RAG system that runs on a phone.

Thanks @xenova.bsky.social for building so many demos and examples to build on top of! :)

Sparsity + quantization is a super exciting direction

DHH's fireside chat at DTU was so great.

My main takeaway is that it's an amazing time to be optimistic and ambitious.

First official day starting my new position as industrial PhD student at DTU.dk and Laerdal.com 🎉 So great to be back on campus.

Be sure to reach out if you're interested in model compression and edge deployment of deep neural networks 🔥🚀

Times were simpler when BERT was considered enormous

Haven't seen this before but it sounds super interesting. If your LLM application outputs a limited set of tokens why not prune away all the other unused output connections?

Tried to naively use Nano Banana to make a "Where's Waldo"-type image. Can you spot the monkey?

Today's mission is to put an ML model on this little guy

Visited Laerdal's office in Stavanger to share ideas on how my upcoming ph.d. on model compression and edge deployment can potentially contribute to several projects :) Super exciting, and Stavanger is a lovely city to explore

I wonder if we're going to see children somehow mask themselves as AI scraping bots to avoid internet age restrictions #showerthought

KittenTTS is under 25 megabytes at ~15M parameters. Quality is crazy good for this size. I'm super excited about the opportunities here.

Great day at the @aicentre.dk for the Pre-ACL Workshop with lots of good talks, posters and pastries 🥐

"pruning is the equivalent of lobotomizing the LLM"

Not sure how I feel about that analogy

Just completed Quantization Fundamentals with Hugging Face on learn.deeplearning.ai :) Already looking forward to the more advanced course!

Haven't ordered new books in a good while because I have been using the library so much but now that I got a few gift cards for my birthday I checked out these :) #booksky

I have been working on bootstrapping AI evals before product launch and came up with something like this.
Using QA to inform "problematic on purpose" synthetic data that can validate LLM-as-a-Judge.

Would love to chat with people who have experience with this :)

I usually don't really like off-the-shelf AI evaluation tools. Like, what do you even mean when you measure "groundedness"?

Using AI Toolkit for VS Code for LLM-as-a-Judge alignment evals has been the first time I have had an okay experience with a tool like this.

Driving AI hos @ida.dk er i dag.

Glæder mig især til at høre om:
- Region Hs erfaring med AI til håndtering af hudkræft
- Generativ AIs miljøpåvirkning af folk fra ddsc.io
- Vision Transformers fra Capacit som havde et maks-nørdet oplæg sidste år om DSPy.

Vil gerne blive bedre til at dele hvad jeg har gang i. Også selvom det måske er en smule upoleret.

Her er sidste nyt: Whisper-large-v3-turbo som web app, 100% lokalt så din data aldrig forlader din computer. Virker bedst i Chrome! (pga. webgpu support)

Har leget med en idé om annotering som del af servicen:
- Simpel Whisper-app der kører lokalt -> gratis med Transformers.js
- Fokusér på UI/UX så det er lækkert og nemt at bruge (nok det sværeste)
- Gør det muligt at rette fejl i teksterne
- Optional: Indsend rettelser + lyd til database
