When I was building Replicate I tried to find best practices about how build CLI programs, but nothing substantial existed.
So, I've been working with @AanandPrasad, @TashiaN, @evpari, and @markhurrell on this:

- If you're fed up of reading machine learning papers as PDFs, you might like this: arxiv-vanity.com
- It's been quite a year...Businesses are building on open-source AI. But we’ve only reached a tiny fraction. That's why we raised a $40M Series B. Open-source is open for business 😎 replicate.com/blog/series-b
- Don't want to install a CLI tool on your laptop ever again? Try github.com/bfirsh/whalebr… . It's like Homebrew, but uses Docker images.
- 6 years ago, @allnoteson and I created arXiv Vanity, a tool that rendered papers from @arxiv as web pages so you didn't have to squint at a PDF. arXiv now has papers in HTML, so we've shut it down and redirected it to arXiv. arxiv-vanity.com
- Uh. Does anyone in the Bay Area want my organ? I got it from a scrap yard a few months ago and have mostly restored it. But, I'm moving and it doesn't fit in my new house.
- Replying to @levelsioWell, gosh, this made my week. 🙏 I’m just the guy dming you — there is also an extraordinary team who actually make the thing work 😄 @evilstreak @thejillianross @nickstenning @zeke
- Machine learning is like software engineering 20 years ago: nothing's in version control, people are FTPing (well, "S3ing") files around, nobody knows what's running where. We're making better tools for ML. First step is version control: replicate.ai
- AI Grant is the best startup peer group we have. It's like a super intense, high quality, tiny YC for AI companies. Also you'll get $50k Replicate credits!AI Grant's second batch is now accepting applications! bit.ly/3NJI6Rl
- Replying to @benedictevansPersonalized ads, personalized sales content, automatic marketing content, automatic stock images, automatic game asset generation, photoshop for AI. This is all stuff we're seeing people build today. In future, completely personalized content, TV shows, games, etc.
- Replying to @devonzuegelMiami feels like where all the cool kids are. As an engineer, that's almost the opposite of what I want. I want to be where all the nerds are.
- I volunteered for the @internetarchive a couple of years ago and got a glimpse at some of the brilliant work they're doing around academic publishing. Some of it is now public in a usable form.Did you know you can now search scholarly materials preserved in the @InternetArchive? Meet Internet Archive Scholar, a search engine for 25M research articles from 18th C journals to #OpenAccess conf. proceedings to #Preprint publications. blog.archive.org/2021/03/09/sea…
- Replying to @bfirsh and @unpaywallI think it bears repeating. The web was invented 30 years ago to share academic writing. WHY ARE ALL CITATIONS NOT HYPERLINKS?
