  1. Intro to LLM — watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjkBMFhNj_g || https://creatoreconomy.so/p/curious-beginners-guide-to-large-language-models

2. Maxjourney: Pushing Discord’s Limits with a Million+ Online Users in a Single Server: https://discord.com/blog/maxjourney-pushing-discords-limits-with-a-million-plus-online-users-in-a-single-server

3. Intel Neural-Chat 7b: Fine-Tuning on Gaudi2 for Top LLM Performance: Smol models finetuned are giving better performance for specific use cases: https://huggingface.co/blog/Andyrasika/neural-chat-intel

4. RAG Evaluation Series: Validating the RAG Performance of OpenAI vs LlamaIndex: https://www.tonic.ai/blog/rag-evaluation-series-validating-rag-performance-openai-vs-llamaindex

5. Break the Sequential Dependency of LLM Inference Using Lookahead Decoding: https://lmsys.org/blog/2023-11-21-lookahead-decoding/

6. Generative AI for Beginners — A Course: https://microsoft.github.io/generative-ai-for-beginners/#/

7. Stable Video Diffusion: Scaling Latent Video Diffusion Models to Large Datasets: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6213c340453c3f502425776e/t/655ce779b9d47d342a93c890/1700587395994/stable_video_diffusion.pdf || also try this in conjunction with Magnifica for upscaling and creating variations of pictures. The results are quite interesting.

8. A Path Towards Autonomous Machine Intelligence: https://openreview.net/forum?id=BZ5a1r-kVsf

9. https://stratechery.com/2023/openais-misalignment-and-microsofts-gain/ || interesting read, things fell in place finally with open ai but the speed of MSFT maneuvering over a weekend was something to keep in view.
