We're talking "real a.i developments" breh, not some workarounds. I don't know much about what you just posted but they were talking about Meta releasing those weights, it sounds like that kaikoendev guy posted a workaround he found on github. The main tech though was Facebook, who you can probably follow on linkedin and view the team responsible.

From the ChatGPT community on Reddit: Meta's LLaMA LLM has leaked - Run Uncensored AI on your home PC! | Pedro Larroy

So now that the LLaMa ( https://lnkd.in/ewY-jPwf ) weights are kindly released by Meta, we can play with some models which were released as "delta weights" such as Vikuna ( https://lnkd.in/ed9Fyii3 ) This is interesting because Meta required to apply for access. You can also run LLaMa 7B on...

Somebody making real progress with expensive hardware or large data set processing, you think that's happening at some random person's home lab? That keikoendev don't even have a twitter either, but the fact he worked at Stripe: bet they got a Linkedin though.

meta spent millions training an A.I model, they realized they were far behind openAI and open sourced their model and made it available to a select group of researchers. the model leaked on github back in feburary and the open source community has been innovating at a really fast pace. the dev who maninged to increase context length on an already trained model didn't find anything on github, he publishes his blog findings on github.

thats like saying the main tech for a mustang was the ford model-T. :rudy:

I'd like to know of another platform that can do this. Even reddit isn't this fast due to threads needing moderator approval before they're posted.

there is none and thats how you know a lot of people in this thread don't know what they're talking about. twitter to me was another search engine and I use many different search engines daily. nothing comes close to twitters hyper local information thats chronologically ordered, timestamped and filterable.

it's a shame twitter never thought of their product as a search engine, a few more tweaks and features and they would have been a major player in the search engine space.

Instagram’s Twitter competitor launches July 6th

Meta’s next app will try to make Instagram the new Twitter.

Meta’s Twitter competitor launches on July 6th, according to the App Store​

If you want to bail from Twitter, seems like you won’t have to wait long to be able to download Threads.​

Meta’s Twitter competitor, Threads, is expected to launch on July 6th, according the App Store listing for the app. Threads had showed up on Google Play on Saturday with screenshots and some initial details, and a listing I saw on Google Play didn’t have a release date, so this date from the App Store appears to give us our first official date for when we might be able to download the app.
Here is the official — and brief — description of the app, from the App Store:
Say more with Threads — Instagram’s text-based conversation app
Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what’ll be trending tomorrow. Whatever it is you’re interested in, you can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same things — or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world.

The listing also has what appear to be the same screenshots from the Google Play listing, showing that you’ll be able to log in with your Instagram handle, find the accounts you follow on Instagram on the new app, and post in an interface that looks a lot like many other text-based social media apps. In a companywide meeting, Meta executives also shared that the app will integrate with the decentralized social media protocol ActivityPub, as reported by my colleague Alex Heath.

Still, just because the app is available to

Still, just because the app is available to download on July 6th doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be able to jump in and post. I wouldn’t be surprised if Meta does a slow rollout of some kind for the app, so you might want to be prepared to wait to actually be able to find your new non-Twitter home.

But I can understand if you’re actively seeking a new place to post. Twitter has blocked unregistered users from being able to see tweets and implemented rate limits for those who are logged in. The company is also suddenly rolling out some major changes to TweetDeck after the app began to break — and in about a month, TweetDeck is going to become a paid feature. Many tried to turn to Bluesky, but it halted new user signups for more than a day to fix issues it ran into because of the waves of people flooding the app. The CEO of Mastodon is feeling good, though.
