I spent a lot of time and money on this rather big side project of mine that attempts to replicate the mechanistic interpretability research on proprietary LLMs that was quite popular this year and produced great research papers by Anthropic [1], OpenAI [2] and Deepmind [3]. I am quite proud of this project and since I consider myself the target audience for HackerNews did I think that maybe some of you would appreciate this open research replication as well. Happy to answer any questions or face any feedback. Cheers [1]…

I am excited to announce the release of TabPFN v2, a tabular foundation model that delivers state-of-the-art predictions on small datasets in just 2.8 seconds for classification and 4.8 seconds for regression compared to strong baselines tuned for 4 hours. Published in Nature, this model outperforms traditional methods on datasets with up to 10,000 samples and 500 features. The model is available under an open license: a derivative of the Apache 2 license with a single modification, adding an enhanced attribution requirement inspired by the Llama 3 license:…

Marple▲86Hi HN! I’m Nero from Marple, and we build time series tooling for Aerospace & Automotive. In 2020, we launched our first product: a sort of Grafana on steroids designed for high performance analysis. After integrating with a lot of different TS databases, we kept running into their design limits when trying to deliver the best performance & UX to our users. That’s why we are launching Marple DB today (https://www.marpledata.com/marple-db). Marple DB transforms measurements files (CSV, MAT, HDF5, TDMS, …) into a queryable lakehouse. We designed for extreme ingestion…

I want to share the most recent model release we have prepared. It's a Vision-Language understanding Transformer. It has 40% fewer parameters than vanilla CLIP while performing much better on text-to-image retrieval, where it's also beneficial that our output embeddings have 2x fewer dimensions (256 vs. 512). Moreover, it supports 21 languages, including popular English, Hindi, Chinese, Arabic, and lower-resource languages like Ukrainian, Hebrew, and Armenian. We have packed the library into ONNX and CoreML, providing PyTorch inference code for CPUs and GPUs and PopTorch code for Graphcore…
