Using Amazon CodeWhisperer to write Hugging Face code Julien Simon 2022-10-28 | Following my test of Github Copilot (youtu.be/HxyG896swQU), I was curious how Amazon CodeWhisperer would perform on the same example. So I gave it a try!⭐️⭐️⭐️ Don't forget to subscribe to be notified of future videos ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Want to buy me a coffee? I can always use more :) buymeacoffee.com/julsimon ⭐️⭐️⭐️ In a nutshell, things didn't go well :-/ I found the service slow, and most of the prompts it generated were irrelevant. It also struggled to keep generating additional lines of code. Failing to trigger on copy-pasted prompted was very annoying (probably an issue with the AWS extension for VS Code).Unlike Copilot, I wouldn't use CodeWhisperer to get real work done. The service is still in preview at the time of recording, and one can only hope that it will get much better over time. I'll give another try when it becomes generally available.Getting started :- Hugging Face: huggingface.co/course- Amazon CodeWhisperer: aws.amazon.com/codewhispererAnd if you're interested in LLMs for code generation, check out the BigCode project at bigcode-project.org

Machine Learning Hyper-Productivity with Transformers and Hugging Face Julien Simon 2022-07-08 | Talk at Databricks Data and AI Summit, San Francisco, 28/07/2022.According to the latest State of AI report, "transformers have emerged as a general-purpose architecture for ML. Not just for Natural Language Processing, but also Speech, Computer Vision or even protein structure prediction." Indeed, the Transformer architecture has proven very efficient on a wide variety of Machine Learning tasks. But how can we keep up with the frantic pace of innovation? Do we really need expert skills to leverage these state-of-the-art models? Or is there a shorter path to creating business value in less time?⭐️⭐️⭐️ Don't forget to subscribe to be notified of future videos ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Want to buy me a coffee?
