Today, youChat goes live.
Open, broadly capable, conversational AI for search with knowledge of recent events and citations of sources.
Search and chat of the future:
Introducing YouCode: The best search engine for developers. Available now at .
A 🧵 with our features that make you more efficient when coding.
We’d love your feedback to make it better for all kinds of programming, from frontend, web3 to backend and AI.
Bored by generic chatbot answers?
Today,
@YouSearchEngine
is moving closer to our vision of being your personal AI assistant for search.
Introducing Smart Personalization ✨
No need to type up your preferences, it learns w/ transparency
It's about understanding and helping you
Today, we launch YouAgent, an AI agent with code execution for more accurate answers to complex math and science questions.
Unlike other consumer chat engines that cannot do reliable, multiple-step reasoning, it will also compute your mortgage accurately ;)

Excited to introduce YouPro for Education—your AI study buddy.
Access unlimited AI chat + search, unlimited AI writing generations, unlimited AI art generations, supercharged with GPT-4 and Stable Diffusion XL at just $6.99/month for students and teachers.
Very excited to announce the natural language decathlon benchmark and the first single joint deep learning model to do well on ten different nlp tasks including question answering, translation, summarization, sentiment analysis, ++
So excited to announce our 25m Series A to build a better and more open search engine.
We will focus on
* youCode - the search engine for developers and
* opening up the platform for more search apps, search APIs and more.

We just launched sharing of full transcripts on youChat.
The best part - you can continue the chat :)
Want your chatbot to be up-to-date?
Our new YOU API empowers your LLM with real-time web search, much longer snippets and better fact recall than any other search API.
We also have pure news endpoints and complete retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

With this much excitement and energy in the LLM space, I am fairly confident in this prediction:
Before the end of this year, there will be an open source model that is equivalent in quality to
#GPT4
Then, AI researchers and the AI community will go to town and improve it.
It is kind of shocking how much current computing architectures (graphics processing units) define neural network architectures. GPUs made models like Transformers fast and hence popular, not neuroscience or theory. Our model space is restricted to what's fast on GPUs.
It's fascinating that some folks who are probably great science fiction writers are somehow considering their writing about AI risk as scientific research.

We are now offering the first full web index API for LLMs.
It already works better than Bing & Google SERP APIs for making LLMs more factual, up-to-date and offer citations.
It's early days but you can find more details at:

Our chat AI is the first to show and use the content of an app when that provides a better answer than just text alone.
This is a huge step forward for LLMs in search.

Plus it's connected to the internet and up-to-date, has the most accurate citations for facts, personalizes your answers and executes code for more complex questions. Starting tomorrow you can even try it for free!
It's nice they covered my thoughts.
I learned that the journalist who writes the article is usually not in charge of its title. That's done by their editor who only thinks about clicks 🤷♂️

Growing up in Germany you're taught that nuclear energy is terrible. Yet, all my scientific friends agree that it is by far the cleanest form of energy - it is SO much better for the planet than coal/fossil fuels... I wonder if the green party/politicians can course correct?
We built so you can search less and do more. To take back control of your information diet and privacy.
Here are 7 tips to get the most out of our search engine. 🧵👇
I think the open source community needs to start incorporating the concepts of
* open source training data
* open source human feedback collection
* open source weights
With LLMs it will soon be less about the code than the training data.
So excited to launch our developer program to build apps on
I think it's so important for the next search engine to be much more open, let everyone collaborate, help users actually get stuff done and let them decide what's a good result.
Personal update: After 4+ amazing years, I will leave my chief scientist role at Salesforce and transition to be an advisor. Proud of what we have accomplished with the Einstein teams: many AI products (chatbots,call coaching,+) and published research(AI Economist,CTRL,decaNLP,+)

I think one of the problems of academic publishing/peer reviews is that there is zero downside of rejecting good ideas.

, I would believe your concerns more if Tesla didn't download powerful AI into every car.
Why over-regulate some AI models instead of real applications?

It's kind of absurd to insinuate that open source AI is more dangerous than any other kind of AI. The more you can study something, the more you can understand it and think of counter-measures.
There's a reason most secure servers on the internet run on Linux, an open source OS.

1. users do not have control over what they see, and
2. developers/organizations cannot provide useful capabilities to the search results page

This year companies will realize that an LLM by itself, even when fine tuned, will not be accurate or up-to-date and know about the world in a verifiable way. That's why we're excited to have the most accurate APIs that are always on top of recent world knowledge!

Hypothesis: any general function approximator that is powerful enough (eg has enough parameters) and can be efficiently trained will eventually perform similarly.
The underlying substrate (LSTM, CNNs, Transformers etc) won’t matter as much as the data and objective functions.
I love LLMs but to be a viable search engine, you gotta offer more than just text.
We've incorporated a lot of our apps into now in order to be more factual and display data in the best way.
Next week we will improve the design of our citations & links

I used to think we compete with Google but I'm realizing more and more that we expand what traditional search can do so much that we now call it an AI assistant that will do the work of search for you to just give an amazing answer.
Also, research mode now has inline images!
The reason nobody is working on a self-aware AI setting its own goals (rather than blindly following a human-defined objective function) is that it makes no money.
Most companies/governments have their own goals and prefer not to spend billions on an AI doing whatever it wants.
