The performance is great, but the censorship is ridiculous for me. I tried it as a backend for my game Guessix[1], but it would refuse for ridiculous reasons like "Cannot answer questions about copyrighted works like Harry Potter."
Iirc abliteration (ablation?) can be done without "training" and is pretty quick. It finds the individual weights related to the concept you want to ablate, and modifies those weights to "deactivate" them. Precision brain surgery, to anthropomorphize.
Do you mean like structured outputs? Unfortunately here the model is guided to explicitly tell you when you violate the rules and why, it can confuse it's system rules with the game rules and say you're not allowed to ask a question about copyrighted material etc.
Amazon has a number of foundation models under the name Amazon Nova, which they claimed were SOTA on release but I haven't heard much at all about them since.
ParaFi Capital | San Diego (Hybrid) | Sr. full-stack Engineer
ParaFi is a multi‑strategy investment and technology firm focused on the digital‑asset ecosystem. Since 2018 we’ve partnered with leading institutions to deploy venture, liquid, and quantitative capital.

We’re looking for a senior engineer who can wear multiple hats - backend, frontend, data, and DevOps - to accelerate every part of ParaFi’s technology platform. You’ll design and own production systems that ingest billions of on‑chain and market datapoints, power quantitative strategies, and surface realtime insights to the investment team.

Whenever speech to text apps come up, I get curious how people use them in their workflow. I've tried to integrate it into my daily work a few times, but have found myself dropping it not too long after. If I'm already at a keyboard, I just don't seem to find any case where I don't prefer that as an input. What are other people using these for?
Amazing idea. I can hardly stand audio books, and some musical updressing might completely change that. Having a beat to it just makes it so much more fun/engaging/digestible/memorable. Kids are already taught their ABCs using songs for that reason. Why stop there, if all sorts of material could easily be put in that form? Honestly it could revolutionize teaching.
This is absolutely brilliant. Is there a way for you to put this on Spotify or make the files downloadable? Not familiar with the pricing, capabilities and licensing of Suno, so sorry if this is not possible.
One thing I'm really excited for is having this real-time voice model in video game characters. It would be really cool to be able to have conversations with NPCs, and actually have to pick their brain for information about a quest or something.
