Excited to introduce GPT-4o.

Language, vision, and sound -- all together and all in real time.

This thing has been so much fun to work on. It's been even more fun to play with -- with moments of magic where things feel totally fluid and I forget I'm video chatting with an AI.

Congrats to Prof Han on this well deserved award! Not only a brilliant researcher but also an incredible mentor, inspiring countless students including me!

Let’s make LLMs knowledgeable!

Low-level perception has been a bottleneck for large multimodal models. We try to bridge the gap between low-level perception and high-level reasoning with SVG and intermediate symbolic representations. Check it out at mikewangwzhl.github.io/VDLM/

Excited that LM-Infinite has been accepted into #NAACL2024 ! It is the first-of-its-kind zero-shot length generalizations for language models, with 200M length inference and downstream (Retrieval, Qasper) improvements! Great thanks to all my collaborators!
