Explain Like I'm 5B. Improving communication between large languge models and small language models. A project done for the Stanford 8VC + Meta Llama Hackathon. Work done by Jubayer Ibn Hamid, Ifdita Hasan Orney, and Victor Kolev. Agentic systems involve multiple models interacting with each other. Often this takes the form of a large "System 2" LLM instructing a smaller, task-specific "System 1" L(S)LM. For example, many SWE agents hand off repo exploration to a small models for better efficiency; in robotics, VLA models are often small so that they can be fast for high-frequency control. However, models have been instruction-tuned based on instructions by humans. We hypothesize that the…from github.com

  • Llama 3.2 Interpretability with Sparse Autoencoders2024 · github.com · ▲579

    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]…

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
