@teortaxesTex: Bro even wrote a textbook on «design of computer networks», and it was full of plagiarism. See: https://x.com/basedpizook/status/1797671689133891698 Siddharth and Aksh wisely throw their longtime collaborator under the bus. But even if they’re innocent, such lack of discernment – taste – should be damning.
@basedpizook It gets even better… @siddrrsh is also listed as an author on the book. Maybe Mustafa wrote the whole thing as well, and Siddy just threw the Stanford logo on it 🤣
What are the odds? Take a random chapter from @mustafaaljadery book on computer networks and run it through a plagiarism checker…

Siddharth Sharma apology letter: Re Llama3V: Firstly, we want to apologize to the original authors of MiniCPM. @AkshGarg03 and I posted Llama3V with @mustafaaljadery. Mustafa wrote the code for the project. Aksh and I were both excited about multimodal models and liked the architectural extensions on top of Idefics and Siglip that he described to us. Our role here was to help him promote the model on medium and twitter. We looked at recent papers to validate the novelty of the work but we were not informed of or made aware of any of the previous work by @OpenBMB. After seeing the twitter posts about this topic yesterday, we asked Mustafa about proof of originality for Llama3V and asked for the training code but we haven’t seen any response so far. We were waiting for Mustafa to take the lead but instead we are releasing our own statement. We apologize to the authors of miniCBM for any inconvenience that we caused for not doing the full diligence to verify and peer review the novelty of this work. Going forward, we will be cautious and diligent, and we sincerely thank the community for bringing this to our attention. We’ve taken all references to Llama3V down and we apologize once again for the inconvenience we may have caused.
- Siddharth and Aksh
