Hackathon Technology (AI Tools To Use)

OpenAI

GPT-3

GPT-3 is OpenAI's third-generation language model with 175 billion parameters, enabling human-like text generation. It's in open beta.

Codex

OpenAI Codex is an AI model that parses natural language and generates code. It powers GitHub Copilot, an auto completion tool, and is based on GPT-3. It has been trained on 159 GB of Python code from 54M GitHub repos.

DALL-E 2

DALL-E 2 is a 3.5B parameter generative language model that creates images from sentences. Its images are 4x better in resolution than its predecessor, with human judges preferring it to DALL-E 70% of the time.

Whisper

Whisper is a powerful speech recognition and translation model trained on 680,000 hours of multilingual data. It uses an encoder-decoder architecture to convert audio into text and it also supports language identification, phrase-level timestamps, and multilingual transcription. Integrate cutting-edge speech recognition into your applications with the Whisper API endpoint.

ChatGPT API

ChatGPT is a text-generating AI model trained on conversations and other human-generated text. It can generate responses, code, make suggestions and provide information in a natural conversational style. It was trained using RLHF and supervised fine-tuning with human AI trainers. The ChatGPT API endpoint provides a convenient way to incorporate advanced language understanding into your applications.

Cohere

Generate

Generate is a language model for writing and summarizing text, correcting spelling/grammar, and extracting entities.

Classify

Use Classify to quickly organize data by labeling text, performing content moderation, detecting user intent, classifying topics and analyzing sentiment.

Embed

Embed lets AI read Reddit posts about your company and show results in a graph. It also offers semantic search, topic modeling, and recommendations.

Multilingual Semantic Search

Text embeddings are key to machine language understanding, representing text meaning as numbers through an embedding model. Multilingual models can handle multiple languages effectively.

Sandbox

Sandbox provides open-source GitHub repos to quickly build ML apps with Cohere. It's easy for any developer, no ML experience required.

More AI models!

AI21 Labs

Platform for building AI applications. Access powerful language models with API. No NLP expertise needed.

Stable Diffusion

Latent text-to-image diffusion model for generating stylized and photo-realistic images. Pre-trained on LAION-5B, runs at home on consumer GPUs. Create art in seconds!

YOLOv7

The YOLOv7 algorithm is a big advancement in the field of computer vision and machine learning. It is more accurate and faster than any other object detection models or YOLO versions.

          Hackathon FAQ

          Who can join the Hackathon?

          We welcome domain experts from all industries, not just AI or tech. Successful AI solutions require a combination of technical expertise and domain knowledge. Coding experience is recommended.

          Do I need a team?

          You are welcome to join as a team or solo. If solo, we still encourage you to look for a team before the event, but ultimately it is your choice. We recommend you to join the Deep Learning Labs Discord channel: https://discord.gg/gCuBwBB35k and posting in the #looking-for-team channel to get to know your potential future team members.

          Do I need a Github account?

          It is recommended. At least one team member should have a Github account. You can create one for free if you don't already have one.

          I have other questions.

          Feel free to reach us on social media, or through our Discord channel.
