Oxen.ai Blog
Welcome to the Oxen.ai blog 🐂
The team at Oxen.ai is dedicated to helping AI practictioners go from research to production. To help enable this, we host a research paper club on Fridays called ArXiv Dives, where we go over state of the art research and how you can apply it to your own work.
Take a look at our Arxiv Dives, Practical ML Dives as well as a treasure trove of content on how to go from raw datasets to production ready AI/ML systems. We cover everything from prompt engineering, fine-tuning, computer vision, natural language understanding, generative ai, data engineering, to best practices when versioning your data. So, dive in and explore – we're excited to share our journey and learnings with you 🚀
In this Arxiv Dive, Nvidia researcher, Ethan He, presents his co-authored work Upcycling LLMs in Mixture of Experts (MoE). He goes into what a MoE is, the challenges behind upcycli...
The release of OpenAI-O1 has motivated a lot of people to think deeply about…thoughts 💭. Thinking before you speak is a skill that some people have better than others 😉, but a sk...
In the last blog, we went over prompting techniques 1-3 of The Prompt Report. This arXiv Dive, we were lucky to have the authors of the paper join us to go through some of the more...
For this blog we are switching it up a bit. In past Arxiv Dives, we have gone deep into the underlying model architectures and techniques that make large language models and other ...
Flux made quite a splash with its release on August 1st, 2024 as the new state of the art generative image model outperforming SDXL, SDXL-Turbo, Pixart, and DALL-E. While the model...

Meta has recently released Llama 3.1, including their 405 billion parameter model which is the most capable open model to date and the first open model on the same level as GPT 4. ...
Llama 3.1 is a set of Open Weights Foundation models released by Meta, which marks the first time an open model has caught up to GPT-4, Anthropic, or other closed models in the eco...
