This week, I learned:

- [XOT - Everything of Thought](https://arxiv.org/abs//2311.04254) is a new prompt from Microsoft but I don't understand it
- [Creating Fine-Tuning datasets WITHOUT inputs](https://andrewmayne.com/2023/11/14/is-the-reversal-curse-real/)
- [Tamil-Llama](https://github.com/abhinand5/tamil-llama)
- [Voyager plays Minecraft!](https://voyager.minedojo.org/)
- [Langchain supports evaluators](https://python.langchain.com/docs/guides/evaluation/).
- [Pydantic is all you need](https://youtu.be/yj-wSRJwrrc) drives towards code = data = text!
