    Outsmart LLM Arena – a battle of diplomacy and deviousness

    Outsmart is an LLM Arena that pits AI models against each other in a negotiation game. It was great fun to write, and even more fun to play.

    Step by step guide: fine-tune an LLM on your texts (part 1)

    I recently wrote about my holiday project to fine-tune a pre-trained Llama 2 model on my entire 240,000 text message history, with pleasingly good results. And now, I present a step-by-step guide so that you, too, can have a substantive conversation with yourself… There are three prerequisites: There is a fourth requirement: patience and enthusiasm!…

    A simulation of me: fine-tuning an LLM on 240k text messages

    I’m far from the first to think of this. Several people — perhaps inspired by creepy Black Mirror episodes — have tried to fine-tune an LLM on their SMS or WhatsApp history in an effort to create a simulation of themselves. Generally results have disappointed; conversations tend to be mundane (it seems we don’t share…

For the uninitiated, it’s a series of increasingly thorny coding puzzles that pay homage to an Advent Calendar by revealing a daily treat, in the form of a new challenge, from December 1st…
