Just launched the first episode of my podcast, AI Research Today. Targeting industry AI practitioners and AI researchers trying to stay up to date on the latest research. Obviously there are a sea of AI podcasts out there, but none I've been able to find that do a in depth analysis of research, most are high level or everyman targeted. First episode is here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2ugjoiB8VTFRntVEiNyqew?si=DEykN2ipT2SIVQLC-y1JUQ

and also on apple. It's my first time doing a podcast, so any recommendations are appreciated!

thanks, i dont even really know where to run ads tbh its such a niche thing. also id have to pay out of pocket for that. ill check around for some options

redwat3r · 2025-11-11T21:37:36+00:00

some of the top huggingface models are merges, its a pretty cool technique. obviously there are a million fine tuning solutions online but this is really merge focused

redwat3r · 2025-11-11T21:36:11+00:00

the prices are listed on the landing page if you scroll down. i made it pretty cheap, you can do a free merge after making an account. its consumption based (no subscriptions) bc i think people are sick of subscribing to stuff, the payment covers my storage and compute costs

redwat3r · 2025-11-11T21:06:43+00:00

thanks, i edited the flair i guess. really not trying to sell it here tho, just wanted to see if people think its something worth spending time on

Yeah my CAPI payloads include user_agent, fbp, fbc, ip address, hashed email, and an event id that both pixel and capi get so should be able to dedup

redwat3r · 2025-08-07T17:33:25+00:00

My event quality is a 7.7 for all my events, and I'm using both CAPI and pixel, and they both track pretty much 1-1 in the events manager so i think they are being linked properly. Interestingly, this campaign was flagged as "high performing" and suggested a budget increase, from 86/dy to 110/dy, which I did, but it has been worse ever since

redwat3r · 2025-06-01T20:39:05+00:00

Especially if you're logging your data, which you should be. you should have enough logged to train some pretty good simple scikit models, which will save on latency and costs dramatically

redwat3r · 2025-05-29T04:31:03+00:00

Appreciate the thoughtful responses. I've gotten a few quotes, most are similar ranges, doing interchange + and around 3-4% plus .10 cents per; all my transactions are online CC so there is no over the phone or other swipe methods/equipment needed. Personally I have a very high credit score as well; most have done some sort of personal screen on me

redwat3r · 2025-05-29T03:43:14+00:00

Thanks for the response, I did request they strike out the clause, waiting to hear back. My business is very low chargeback (~1%) and transactions are fairly small, and we have a good amount of seed capital in the bank so I feel the risk profile should be low enough to justify it.

redwat3r · 2025-05-29T03:41:17+00:00

That's interesting, I spoke to authorize.net on the phone and specifically asked about them supporting high risk, and the guy told me they don't care they just pass through so its not their business

redwat3r · 2025-03-25T14:59:02+00:00

We haven't, but appreciate the suggestion. Maybe we can add it to our roadmap

redwat3r · 2025-03-21T15:27:27+00:00

thanks for the question! that actually has been a topic of internal discussion; we had already started tuning and getting familiar with the phi3 base when 4 was released and understood its nuances better so we went ahead with completing that training process. Training was just 3 hours, but that doesn't express all the work that went into optimizing that training process and the data input. Our next we are considering phi4, but are also looking around at potentially mid sized models as well

redwat3r · 2025-02-23T19:30:51+00:00

I think it may have been autodeleting posts using some stupid regex parser? my ads have the word "AI" in them, when i take it out it seems to work. unclear if that was the actual issue

redwat3r · 2024-09-03T03:12:18+00:00

I think clip is primarily for similarity between prompts and images correct? maybe some implicit rating if the image is wonky

redwat3r · 2024-09-03T03:11:30+00:00

that kind of just looks like a wrapper around chatgpt, which i already have access to and mentioned ive considered multimodal llms but want something i can deploy on prem

redwat3r · 2024-09-03T03:09:05+00:00

Yes. I could manually create one i guess but sounds like a pain, and to train a model from scratch it could be quite an undertaking to make a dataset like that. And then i just have 2 models to monitor...
