I am super excited to finally announce that we ( @towards_AI ) released our first independent industry-focussed course: From Beginner to Advanced LLM Developer. Put a dozen experts (frustrated ex-PhDs, graduates and industry) and a year of dedicated work, and you get the most

A nice new benchmark for long video understanding by Tobias Weyand @0xtob and others. This is likely to be one of the new frontiers of capabilities for large-scale multimodal models, and it's great to have a new benchmark to assess others in this area. https://t.co/RsEKIe1kmf
