Will we soon all have our own personalized AI news agents? And what does it mean for journalism?
Just built a simple prototype based on the Hugging Face course. It lets you get customized news updates on any topic.
Not perfect yet, but you can see where things could go: we'll all be able to build personalized AI agents that curate & analyze news for each of us. And users who could decide to build custom news products for their needs, such as truly personalized newsletters or podcasts.
The implications for both readers & news organizations are significant. To name a few: - Will news articles remain the best format for informing people? - What monetization model will work for news organizations? - How do you create an effective conversion funnel?
Xwen π₯ a series of open models based on Qwen2.5 models, developed by a brilliant research team of PhD students from the Chinese community. shenzhi-wang/xwen-chat-679e30ab1f4b90cfa7dbc49e β¨ 7B/72B β¨ Apache 2.0 β¨ Xwen-72B-Chat outperformed DeepSeek V3 on Arena Hard Auto
So πDeepSeekπ hits the mainstream media. But it has been a star in our little cult for at least 6 months. Its meteoric success is not overnight, but two years in the making.
* End of 2023, they launched the first model (pretrained by themselves) following Llama 2 architecture * June 2024, v2 (MoE architecture) surpassed Gemini 1.5, but behind Mistral * September, v2.5 surpassed GPT 4o mini * December, v3 surpassed GPT 4o * Now R1 surpassed o1
Most importantly, if you think DeepSeek success is singular and unrivaled, that's WRONG. The following models are also near or equal the o1 bar.
