📰 Ubuntu Snap Prompting Improvements
If you haven’t tried Ubuntu’s ‘Permission Prompting’ feature for a while, there’s more reason to do so in the latest release. Canonical’s Oliver Calder has shared an update on recent improvements to the security feature, which sets out to “empower users” by letting them decide what software can access on the rest of the system at runtime rather than retrospectively.

🌟 AI Sunday Wonders: Meet TinyLlama, the 550MB AI Model Trained on 3 Trillion Tokens
Hello, everyone! In the world of AI, smaller models are gaining immense popularity due to their efficiency on edge devices with limited memory and processing power. Enter TinyLlama, a groundbreaking project led by a research assistant at Singapore University of Technology and Design.
Despite its tiny 550MB size, TinyLlama is pre-trained on a massive three trillion tokens. This compact model holds great promise for various applications, including real-time machine translation without the need for an internet connection.
The project aims to complete the training of this 1.1 billion Llama model in just 90 days, utilizing 16 A100-40G GPUs. You can track its progress and loss metrics in real-time.
TinyLlama shares the same architecture and tokenizer as Meta's Llama 2, making it compatible with open-source projects built on Llama.
TinyLlama joins the league of smaller language models like Pythia-1b and MPT-1b, offering developers efficient options for creating cutting-edge AI applications.
