Its small footprint enables local processing without external servers
subtle point but this appears to be the first de-novo trained model released by USG in any capacity
big moment
Tomorrow, we're releasing an ML model for on-device PII redaction, which is far smaller than existing models, but is surprisingly effective. It is a first iteration. Will be live at 12:30!
Many users praised the new on-device PII redaction models from the US government and ND Studio as incredible milestones with practical uses like healthcare, while some criticized the lack of contact forms and open-source awareness.
No Digg Deeper questions have been answered for this story yet.
@as400495 Genuinely incredible. Happy to help point you all in the right direction for alt IDs that scummy ad networks inject too. Huge threat vector especially when said alt IDs are sent abroad…
@as400495 NDS? The frontier lab?

A big release of something small is coming tomorrow. Live at 12:30PM EST. https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1dKrPPRmgQXJX
@as400495 I love reading posts by geniuses. I have no idea what they are talking about, but it still gives me goose pimples that we have folks doing this stuff.
Glad you're on our side.
@as400495 Why don’t you guys have a contact us form on your website?
There is so much going on in the open source space that you all have zero visibility into.
@as400495 Super cool! Would be great if it was on @huggingface
@WillManidis Nice milestone
@WillManidis @tszzl But those dorks at http://designstudio.gov have NO way to contact them.
I can’t find one form or email address.
I want them to use my open source project.
There is so much more going on right now they http://ds.gov even realizes.
@as400495 but it’s so much fun to publish a SORN

@as400495 @ndstudio lol my RTX 6000 is so ready 😭 😭
@as400495 Would be great in the healthcare space! 👌
@as400495 epic
@as400495 privacyactmaxxing
@as400495 I want to use this
@WillManidis I’m going to be using “de novo” a lot more on everyday banter going forward.
@WillManidis @tszzl Yeah this is relatively uncommon. Most models trained by USG are for internal use only. IBM x NASA periodically release geospatial models, can find the weights on hugging face
@as400495 When will http://freedom.gov launch?
@as400495
@lulumeservey @as400495 Good grief 🔥
