for context Yi Tay was Tech Lead on Google PaLM, UL2, Flan, Bard, etc and now is cofoudner at Reka (which has shipped some v interesting small multimodal models that have featured on here). I prompted him for this post as an ex-Googler now training LLMs as an independent startup https://twitter.com/YiTayML/status/1765105066263052718

Great too see you on here. Love Latent Space podcast.

aw thank you for listening. some weeks its very much a labor of love lol.

no events planned near term but come to the big shindig in june https://ti.to/software-3/ai-engineer-worlds-fair . last year's summit was the first time i really understood how much of a reach we have and how many good AI people we've managed to gather as friends.

I love it as well, it’s a fantastic resource :)

Is he the person after the Yi LLM model?

No Yi LLM models are from [0], Kaifu Li's LLM startup.
