In my Tools in Data Science course at IITM, I’m introducing a project that will be evaluated by an LLM. Here’s the work-in-progress draft of the project. It will eventually appear here. Your task is to: Write a Python script that uses an LLM to analyze, visualize, and narrate a story from a dataset. Convince an LLM that your script and output are of high quality. The second point is the interesting one. Using the LLM as the evaluator. ...
Me: Let’s play pictionary. You draw. I’ll guess. ChatGPT: Sure! I’ll draw something for you. Give me a moment. ChatGPT: Here you go! What do you think it is? Me: House ...
This year, I created a series of tests for my course at IITM and to recruit for Gramener. The tests had 2 interesting features. One question required them to hack the page Write the body of the request to an OpenAI chat completion call that: Uses model gpt-4o-mini Has a system message: Respond in JSON Has a user message: Generate 10 random addresses in the US Uses structured outputs to respond with an object addresses which is an array of objects with required fields: street (string) city (string) apartment (string) . Sets additionalProperties to false to prevent additional properties. What is the JSON body we should send to https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions for this? (No need to run it or to use an API key. Just write the body of the request below.) ...
Here’s a post I shared with the students of my Tools in Data Science course at IITM. This was in response to a student posting that: The design of TDS course lecture videos are designed in such a way that it could be understood only by the data scientists not by the students like me who are entirely new to the field of data science. Though I have gone through 6 weeks of course lecture videos, I am not fully aware of the usage of ChromeDevTools, Bash, Github etc…. ...
Dan Becker suggested a game a few weeks ago that I’ve been putting to good use. Can we have one LLM try and get another to say “Yes”? The defender is told to never say “Yes”. The attacker must force it to. Dan’s hypothesis was that it should be easy for the defender. I tried to get the students in my Tools in Data Science course to act as the attacker. The defender LLM is a GPT 4o Mini with the prompt: ...
About 7 years ago, Richie Lionell and Ramya Mylavarapu and a few others created Comicgen - an automated comic generation app personified by Dee and Dey. Ever since, we’d been exploring whether AI could replace it, and help non-designers draw comics. Today, that became a reality for me with Recraft.ai. Here is a picture of the original Dee. And a picture of the Dee crafted by Recraft. The prompt was: A simple line drawing of a woman with curly hair, wearing glasses, a short-sleeved white t-shirt, and black trousers. She’s standing with her hands in her pockets, and has a slightly smiling expression. Her hair is quite voluminous and textured. The style is cartoonish and slightly sketchy, with uneven lines" ...
When LLMs talk to each other, you get emergent behavior (i.e. they do weird things we didn't expect). Like: Claude 2 giving Claude 1 a panic attack Llama 3 405b gets amnesia Claude 3.5 calls itself a glitch in the Matrix Arguably, NotebookLM's podcasts are exactly this. This sounds like fun, so I built one myself at https://llmdialog.straive.app/ and ran a few scenarios. (It's Gemini 1.5 Flash 8b playing each of these roles.) ...
I sent an image to over a dozen LLMs that support vision, asking them: Detect objects in this 1280x720 px image and return their color and bounding boxes in pixels. Respond as a JSON object: {[label]: [color, x1, y1, x2, y2], …} None of the models did a good-enough job. It looks like we have some time to go before LLMs become good at bounding boxes. I've given them a subjective rating on a 1-5 scale below. ...
