Happy Halloween 🎃 ! I’m glad I got to do a most life stage appropriate costume and at least 3 people recognized me as Ali Wong. Big surprise for the few patients who established care with me today #halloween

It was wonderful reconnecting at the @stanforddeptmed.bsky.social Primary Care Population Health Division retreat! I helped teach a session on using LLMs for clinical reasoning and patient education tools like @openevidence.bsky.social using prompt engineering frameworks.

A new study finds that "cheap" open-source AI models may be more expensive than proprietary ones due to lower token efficiency. They often use 1.5 to 4 times more compute tokens to perform the same task, offsetting their lower per-token cost. #MLSky
That ‘cheap’ open-source AI model is actually burning through your compute budget
New research reveals open-source AI models use up to 10 times more computing resources than closed alternatives, potentially negating cost advantages for enterprise deployments.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but believe in yourself, truly and freely, because that can be the difference between making the seemingly impossible happen to just bedrotting & dreaming away.

Instead of regurgitating the bromide that LLMs are just "autocomplete on steroids" (even by people who know better), maybe we can actually engage in some public education. The problem with genAI is better expressed through a classic computer science concept, known as SYMBOL GROUNDING. 🧵

A quick reminder to all doctors--there's this great field called clinical informatics. What is clinical informatics? To use the best definition, from Charles Friedman--it's to MAKE this equation true: A doctor with a computer > doctor alone.

With energy that could power a room.
I loved everything about Atul.
I loved how he was always happy.
I loved how excited he was about science and helping people.
