How can I fine tune these models for my use? Their docs isn't clear whether the Gemini models are fine tuneable.

Oh yes, just burn all the money so they can use it as a tax write-off?

Does anyone really know how these tax write-offs work? People just use the term without any clear understanding.

Meta like any sane company out there will probably use every rule to avoid (not evade) paying tax. Thats good for the shareholders. But this isn't one such measure, it's mostly R&D expenditure.

You gotta burn money to make money. This much cash burn is required to build the next gen level of infrastructure. Its a big bet for the company, let's see how it pays out. Haters going to say its all in vain, but no one knows how the future will look. Stock at ATH btw.

How about we tax you at 90% and let the money goto into pockets of useless administrators instead of having you spend in your self interest?

Not sure if others have experienced this, but you tend to forget nouns (object names, names of people, places, etc) after getting hit with COVID. I googled about this and something called "anomic aphasia" came up.

I often caught myself saying "that thing" many times because I couldn't recall the names of even basic objects or street names, etc after getting hit with Omicron.

Just curious if others have experienced this as well.

Just checked out mystic.ai, it looks like you only pay for usage on any model and not idle time. Might actually fit my requirements.

Thanks for the tip. Predibase has support for Zephyr-7B, but I wonder if they offer the same price per 1k token for a fine-tuned version of Zephyr-7B? Most likely, they will ask me to get a dedicated instance for that, which is the same as together.ai.

Characters in book don't write their own dialogs, they are merely projections of the authors. But AI chatbots are non-deterministic and come up with dialog of their own. Of course, you can say they are trained on large corpus of texts and all they are doing are just predicting the next token in the series. But yet, why do they seem like they have distinct personalities? The prediction algorithm is working in such a way that it's creating a sense of personality. How is this happening?

Hmm. I think this guy is just looking for a payday. He was a contractor, not a full time employee.
