WHAT THE LLM? Newsletter

What fills the void often depends on the context or the observer's perspective.

We are back with another newsletter filled with GOOD STUFF, ready?

 “WHAT THE LLM?”

This week

OpenAI launches first chain of thought model o1

ComfyUI FLUX.1 & LoRA workflow (How to create a ComfyUI workflow and navigating Pixio API)

AI Builders Friday Class (We built an App with o1)

What can AI do for sports? (Important discussions with leading figures in AI)

Creativity in Education and Education in Creativity (with Co-founder Kirk)

Ok… Let’s talk about o1 for a minute…

What’s so special about o1 

This new model called o1 has advanced reasoning capabilities set to tackle complex problems in math, coding and science. It thinks thoroughly before responding to your prompt (Chain of Thought process) which helps reduce mistakes. It can reason through complex tasks and help solve complex problems.

What should you use it for?

We used it to code a random quote generator app and It was absolutely flawless! It gave me clear instructions, offered me alternatives and explained the Why’s! What I learned in this one prompting session would have taken me days to accomplish.

o1 as an AI project manager

If you have a complex project you could feed o1 your idea & plans; it will certainly help you come up with an execution plan. But remember: YOU are the guide and YOU need to evaluate. AIs cannot not replace human expertise but, not everyone has an expert at hand. It’s a great alternative to get your creative juices going.

Pricing

What I heard from Chat GPT plus subscribers is you can do 50 o1 prompts a week and 30 o1 mini prompts a day. The price sheet shows API costs.

Kirk and I use AI Tutor - we have unlimited access to o1 and o1 mini - sweet!

The capabilities of simple models are enough

To be honest, everyday people do not need such a model at hand. Common models like GPT 4o, Claude & Llama3 are great and can handle most of your requests quite well.

The way you prompt matters

You can get some pretty clean outputs from simple LLMs (as named above)

We will be talking about a variety of prompting skills in future newsletters, so stick around!

That’s me up there finishing the newsletter and asking myself how in the heck did I get this far? I still can’t wrap my head around this. So many things going on in my life, I am learning so much every day - it’s wild!

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (even though I hardly sleep - running on 4 hours right now.)

We will be back soon, take care 🖤🖤
