Additionally, they’re assisting with accommodations by connecting attendees with local startup founders who can provide lodging.   📝 Application Details Given the selective nature of the event, interested individuals are encouraged to apply promptly. Applications are open to those with strong technical backgrounds, even if they don’t have formal education in AI, as long as they can demonstrate relevant achievements like published papers or significant contributions to open-source projects.   For more information and to apply, visit the official AI Startup School page.  If you need assistance with the application process or have further questions, feel free to ask!

The LLAma Effect Just a few months ago, we only witnessed major players like Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta making advancements in LLMs. Then something incredible happened, completely changing the game: LLama was leaked from Meta and triggered the research and the engineering community. 𝐋𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐚 was originally released in different formats: 7B, 13B, 33B, and 65B parameters, and, despite being smaller than GPT-3, it matched the performance in many tasks. So what? Well... The staggering amount of innovation triggered in just a few weeks is: ✅ Stanford released 𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐚, an instruction-following LLama model ✅ 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐧𝐚 was released from University of California, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, and UC San Diego. It's a fine-tuned version of LLama that matches 𝐆𝐏𝐓-4 performance ✅ Berkley AI Research Institute released 𝐊𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐚, a fined tuned version of LLama ✅ Nebuly open-sourced 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐋𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐚, a framework for creating conversational assistants using your own data ✅ 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐆𝐏𝐓 was released as an open-source conversational agent based on Alpaca ✅ UC Berkeley released 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭, a ChatGPT type model with RLHF pipeline based on LLama It is not finished here 🤯 ➡️ In addition, Databricks released 𝐃𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲, the world's first truly open Instruction-Tuned LLM, which can be used for commercial uses 🎊 🎉 All of this happened in 40 days. Mind-blowing.

🌍 Two Titans of Artificial Intelligence — Two Paths, One Revolution 💡 Yann LeCun — French-American scientist, father of deep learning, and Chief AI Scientist at Meta (Facebook). He helped create the very foundations of today’s AI — from convolutional neural networks to PyTorch. He believes AI should be open, shared, and developed responsibly for humanity’s long-term progress. 🚀 Andrew Ng — Co-founder of Coursera, founder of DeepLearning.AI, and one of the greatest AI educators alive. Over 8 million students have learned from his courses. He made AI education free, global, and reachable for everyone — not just Silicon Valley. ✨ One builds the science of AI. ✨ The other builds the people of AI. Together, they are shaping how the world learns, thinks, and leads with intelligence. At Rehan School, we follow their example — combining education + innovation to create 1,000 leaders who will build million-dollar startups and impact 1 million lives. #AILeaders #YannLeCun #AndrewNg #RehanSchool #LearnAI #DeepLearning #Pakistan2030 #AIForGood
