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 ...

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 struc...

Gemma 3 - Quick Summary & Why this matters

Introduction Despite being labeled the laggard in the language model race behind OpenAI and Anthropic, Google holds two decisive advantages in 2025's evolving AI landscape: unparalleled high-quality data reserves and compute infrastructure that dwarfs even Meta's formidable 600,000 H100 GPUs. As pre-training scaling laws plateau, these assets become critical differentiators. This is especially important in 2025 when everyone is looking for the killer application that can legitimize the research on language models. Combined with DeepMind's elite research talent and visionary leadership, Google possesses a power that competitors ignore at their peril. Gemma is a family of open-weight large language models (LLMs) developed by Google DeepMind and other teams at Google, leveraging the research and technology behind the Gemini models. Released starting in February 2024, Gemma aims to provide state-of-the-art performance in lightweight formats, making advanced AI accessible f...
