QuackChat Daily AI Digest: From DSPy to Hermes3

Hey there, AI Product Engineers! Ready to dive into the hottest AI news of the day? Buckle up, because we're about to take a wild ride through the latest breakthroughs that are shaking up the AI world!

DSPy: The Framework Getting a Makeover

DSPy: The Framework Getting a Makeover

First up, let's talk about DSPy โ€“ the framework that's making waves in the AI community. Omar Khattab, the mastermind behind DSPy, just dropped some big news:

  • He's joining Databricks for a year before heading to MIT as a professor.
  • Plans for DSPy 2.5 and 3.0+ are in the works.

What's on the menu for DSPy? They're focusing on four key areas:

  1. LMs
  2. Signatures & Modules
  3. Optimizers
  4. Assertions

The goal? To make everything "just work" out of the box, zero-shot, off-the-shelf. Pretty cool, right?

But wait, there's more! They're also:

  • Working on more accurate, lower-cost optimizers
  • Building end-to-end tutorials
  • Shifting towards more interactive optimization and tracking

It's like they're giving DSPy a total makeover!

Model Showdowns: Hermes 3 vs. Llama 3.1

Model Showdowns: Hermes 3 vs. Llama 3.1

Now, let's switch gears and talk about some model showdowns. Hermes 3 is making some serious noise in the AI arena. It just scored identical to Llama 3.1 Instruct on the N8Bench benchmark. That's a big deal, folks!

N8Bench benchmark

Breaking News: OpenRouter is offering Hermes 3 405B for free, with a whopping 128k context window. If you're an AI Product Engineer, you don't want to miss this chance to play with such a powerful model.

Ghost 8B Beta: The Multilingual Powerhouse

Ghost 8B Beta: The Multilingual Powerhouse

Speaking of powerful models, have you heard about Ghost 8B Beta? This little powerhouse is making big waves:

  • Supports 16 languages
  • Outperforming some big names like GPT-3.5 Turbo and Claude 3 Opus in certain tasks

Is this the rise of the multilingual AI superstars?

AI Drama: Procreate Says No to Generative AI

AI Drama: Procreate Says No to Generative AI

Now, let's talk about some AI drama. Procreate, the popular digital art app, just dropped a bombshell. They've announced they won't be integrating generative AI into their products. It's a bold move in today's AI-crazed world.

What do you think about this decision? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!

AI Safety and Regulation: The Pelosi Factor

Before we wrap up, let's touch on a hot topic โ€“ AI safety and regulation. Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker Emerita, just came out against California Senate Bill 1047 on AI regulation. It's a reminder that as AI advances, so do the debates about how to govern it.


Alright, DuckTypers, that's your whirlwind tour of this week's AI news. From breakthroughs in frameworks to model face-offs and policy debates, the AI world is buzzing with activity.

What excites you most about these developments? Are you team DSPy? Are you already using Hermes? Or maybe you're all about that Ghost 8B Beta life? Share your thoughts in the comments!
