Lemur's Great Escape: Wild Police Chase Caught on Video

A lemur gave police officers in Springfield, Missouri, a run for their money as it escaped and evaded capture. The officers chased the speedy primate through a park, but the lemur managed to slip away multiple times. Eventually, the officers were able to catch the lemur and reunite it with its owners, who had reported it missing. However, due to city ordinance, the lemur will be transferred to a local wildlife rescue agency for proper care.

"XLang NLP Lab Introduces Lemur: The Ultimate Text and Code Balancing Language Model"

XLang NLP Lab and Salesforce Research have collaborated to develop Lemur and Lemur-chat, open pretrained large language models (LLMs) that excel in both text and code-related tasks. Lemur is trained on a vast corpus of code-intensive data and fine-tuned on public instructional and dialog data, resulting in enhanced coding and grounding abilities while maintaining competitive textual reasoning and knowledge performance. Lemur surpasses other open-source LLMs on coding benchmarks, while Lemur-chat outperforms other supervised fine-tuned models in bridging the gap between text and code in conversational contexts. The project aims to reshape the language model technology landscape and provide a powerful tool for developers, researchers, and organizations navigating the intersection of language and technology.
