GPT-4o

I’m very pleased to show the world GPT-4o. I came into the project mid-last year with Alexis Conneau with the goal of scaling up speech models and building an “AudioLM”. We knew we had something special late last year, but I don’t think either of us…

Optimizing the Metal pipeline to maintain 120 FPS in GPUI

Zed feels smoother than ever with today's release of 0.121, thanks to a series of optimizations that began on the kitchen table of popular streamer Theo Browne . In an excellent video following our open source launch, Theo gave a bunch of great feedback, but what really…

Short Story on AI: Forward Pass

The inspiration for this short story came to me while reading Kevin Lacker’s Giving GPT-3 a Turing Test . It is probably worth it (though not required) to skim this post to get a bit of a background on some of this story. It was probably around the 32nd layer of the 400th token…
