Join me in the AMD x Liquid AI hackathon
Plus 75 minutes of fine tuning
Next week I am heading to San Francisco to participate in the AMD x Liquid AI hackathon.
It is a 2-day event where curious builders come together to build AI software that runs on the edge, combining Liquid AI’s cutting edge models and AMD high-performance hardware.
This is the future (and present) of highly-efficient AI. The AI that works.
If you are in San Francisco and want to spend 2 intense days squeezing your brain pushing the tech to the limit, you are the right person to participate. Plus, I would love to take a coffee and discuss with you all-things-AI :-)
Wanna fine tune models with me?
Last Wednesday I spent 75 high-quality minutes with 50 brave engineers at the Liquid AI Discord Community.
The goal
I wanted to show you all the tips and tricks to fine-tune high-quality Vision Language Models.
In this first session, we managed to produce a pretty good model…
Watch the whole session today 👇
..but we are not done.
In 2 weeks we will have the next session. Because I want us to build and even better model.
Wanna join the next live session?
If you want to participate in the next session, join the Liquid AI Discord Community and sign up for the event.
It is free, but the seats are limited. So hurry!
Let’s keep on building together,
Peace, Love and Fine Tune

Since you just use the term “evolution”, it’s hard not to say yes; especially when you use the qualifier “somehow” which can cover a lot off ground. I hesitate because I have a bit of a peeve concerning the loose usage of the term evolution.
So, on one hand we have the theory of evolution through natural selection. Darwin himself was not very fond of that name. “Evolution” comes from the Latin “evolutio” meaning “unrolling”. This suggests that the process has an aim or pattern or progression but Darwin believed that speciation proceeded by random drift toward whatever “worked” in a particular environment: if simplicity improved survivability then organisms would become simpler, if complexity improved survivability then organisms would become more complex. The pillars of the theory of evolution by natural selection are: heritability (children resemble their parents), random variability (children are not exact copies of their parents but the differences are random), and survivability/selective pressure (not all offspring will survive and heritable traits have an effect on survival rates). Darwin proposed that these mechanisms together were sufficient to explain how all life could have come from a single common ancestor. This is the evolution that “scientists believe in” and creationists get all excited about.
On the other hand we have the more general sense of evolution meaning development or change in general. There is “Lamarckian evolution” and “directed evolution”. These are all different but get mixed together in common speech.
