Today is OpenStack's 15th birthday! What an honor to be part of this community from the beginning. I've met so many friends all over the world and have enjoyed seeing others fall in love with open source and make careers and companies out of it, in OpenStack & beyond! To 15 more!

One of the coolest experiences of my life! And they run a lot of OpenStack to process the insane amounts of data the experiments produce

📢 Today we're releasing a new highly detailed dataset for video understanding: HD-EPIC

arxiv.org/abs/2502.04144

What makes the dataset unique is the vast detail contained in the annotations with 263 annotations per minute over 41 hours of video.

Another seed could be a wikipedia style data curation effort.

In parallel, research data-efficient models that can be trained on 100M tokens. This is comparable to both what humans need to develop speech and to wikipedia, proving that it's possible to curate this amount of data as a community.

First day at FOSDEM and I’m loving it. So much open source and interesting people. Just met a guy who wrote code for F1 to make the cars faster including physics simulation models for designing carbon fiber spoilers and better gear efficiency.

I’d like to learn more about Merriam and Webster. What was that partnership like? I wonder if they ever fought, battled, combatted, wrestled, dueled, or skirmished?

I used the DeepSeek R1 reasoning model to prepare for a new course proposal. These screenshots show with and without the "DeepThink" option turned on--strikingly different. R1 does a lot more synthesis and offers clearer suggestions. It also accepts pdf files, o1 doesn't. Crazy this is open source.
