Hey folks!

Welcome to another edition of Insiders Weekly, the insider-only newsletter where I share my thoughts on recent Machine Learning and Computer Science topics and show you sneak peeks of my upcoming articles.

In this issue, I will tell you about a new series on machine learning topics I’ll be writing this summer, suitable for all curious readers, regardless of your background. Then, I will briefly comment on the recent paper on the surprising performance of kNN+gzip in some text classification tasks. And finally, I’ll throw in my two cents on the significance of Meta’s new Llama model and its purported open license.
