LLM as an Operating System ?

 

LLM as an Operating System?

Since 2023, researchers have been exploring the concept of LLMs functioning as operating system. This analogy makes intutive sense when we consider how traditional operating systems serve as intermediaries between users and computer resources.

I remember encountering visualization that mapped out this transformation. In the traditional OS model, we have layers like the kernel, system calls, and user interface sitting between hardware and applications. With LLM as an OS, we can reimagine these layers, positoning language models and agentic components as the new intermediaries between user and their digital resources - whether that's a data repositories, computational tools, or planning system. 

What makes this vision particularly compelling is the role of multimodal interfaces in this "compressed intellgience". Voice and vision capabilities fundamentally reshape how humans interact with thiis "cognitive OS". Instead of typing commands and clicking through menus, uses can engage in natural conversations, share visual information, and receive insights through multiple sensory channels. THis creates more intuitive bridge to both historical archives and real-time data streams, enabling deeper research and more nuanced understanding of complex information landscapes.

The implication extend beyond mere conveneience. This represents a fundamental shift in how we conceptualize the relationship between human cognition and digitial systems, moving from explicit command-based interactions to more fluid, context-aware exchanges.

2024 Progress...

My team has made considerable advancements in applying various emerging technologies for IMG (Investment Management Group). Predictive Models We have transitioned from conventional methods and refined our approach to using alternative data to more accurately predict the CPI numbers. Our initial approach has not changed by using 2 models (top-down & bottoms-up) for this prediction.   So far we have outperformed both our larger internal team and major banks and dealers in accurately predicting the inflation numbers. Overall roughly 80% accuracy with the last 3 month prediction to be right on the spot.  We have also developed predictive analytics for forecasting prepayment on mortgage-backed securities and predicting macroeconomic regime shifts. Mixed Integer Programming  / Optimization Another area of focus is on numerical optimization to construct a comprehensive portfolio of fixed-income securities for our ETFs and Mutual Funds. This task presents numer...

What matters?

 What matters? Six things that matter in LLM in July 2024. 1) Scale of the model, number of parameters: Scale with brute force alone won't work. But the scale does matter depending on the overall goal and the purpose of what the LLM is trying to solve.   2) Compute matters: Even more than ever, we need to look at the infrastructures around LLMs. Infrastructure is also one of the main constraints for the near term and strategically provides an advantage to a few Middle East countries. 3) Data, quality & quantity. It remains true that high-quality data with extensive (longer) training is the way. Quantity of the data also matters. 4) Loss function matters: If your loss function isn't sophisticated or incentivizes the "right" thing, you will have limited improvement. 5) Symmetry or architecture: Do you have the correct architecture around your model(s) and data? Inefficient engineering can be costly to the overall performance and output. There are inherent structural...

Research Paper on MoA (Mixture of Agents)

Despite one-year setback... MoA is All You Need: Building LLM Research Team using Mixture of Agents My first attempt at using NotebookLM to create the podcast from research papers. YouTube  url on the research paper. Currently looking for ways to improve my consumption of the relevant research papers. Anyone know of a good platform that can turn the .wav files to realistic video?
