This reminds of my time with quantum chromodynamics, I was obsessed with some of Richard Feynman's works and decided to write up something, just to understand it. This was right after finishing high school and I consider this my first writing of a paper like note.


Looking at it now, I'm not ashamed of it but it's so hilarious, I also wanted it to look like a scientific essay and tried to create some flow on the story

If anyone wants to know more about Devin the AI programmer, actually not that but an alternative, which is OpenDevin, open source version, join me tomorrow as I host the lead author of the paper and also the co creators of this project, Xingyao.

It'll be paper presentation mostly and q&a at the end.

Every time I see someone overhype a new AI launch by saying software developers are gonna be jobless soon I just begin to think of them as a subpar engineer with a major skill issue

We have started for anyone interested✌️

Here is the recording for anyone interested. This was also my last session for Cohere for AI, i'll be taking a leave for now and not sure if I'm going to come back, but will see. But it was a great thing that i did all year.

If you are interested in such talks and research mostly, join the cohere for ai discord.

We just got 900 people 😳🎉, that's quite a lot for a channel that shares boring papers and ideas. 🍻 y'all

Areas in AI, but there is a lot here is a few for SWE folks

Doing ambitious project, from an "ambitious person?"🤔

Aman is like the best AI/ML Researcher and Engineer in Ethiopia.

You can see more about him here: https://leobitz.github.io/

Fraol is up now

DevFest was cool, met a lot of familiar faces! At this point, I'm convinced some of us are DevFest-only NPCs 😂, it's weird we only meet with some of you only at Devfest

What is this language? Anybody with some experiences with this, the most unreadable a language could be is look like this

Sometimes the best way to learn and interact with some awesome researchers is attend AI/ML schools, usually there are winter and summer schools and if they are in person they will cover your costs to attend them.


I came across this website recently but it will show some of these deadlines etc. You can maybe check it once in 2 weeks, I'm not sure if they update it on time though.

I'll post when the call is out but here are some summer schools and programs you should apply for in the coming 3-4 months.

- African Computer Vision Summer School 2025
- The annual Deep Learning Indaba 2025
- Tropical Probabilistic AI School
- Oxford ML school (virtual)

If you want to work on research project with Cohere for AI, this is a good chance.

They are looking for 1-2 junior researchers. Esp. if you are planning to go to grad school, it will help you a lot working with Sara Hooker, Ahmet Ustun and the others.
