That may or may not be an intended "role" of archive services like arXiv, but it's one more reason, on top of many other reasons , why such services are gradually, and in my view deservedly, becoming the dominant platforms f

I don't agree with all of the OP's arguments, but wow, what a great little piece of writing! As the OP points out, the "accelerators vs doomers" debate in AI has more than a few similarities with the medieval debates abo

Maybe it's just the inevitable Nash Equilibrium of every privately-owned social network, once growth starts slowing down? I mean, early on, while the focus is on acquiring new customers, the overriding goal is to delight them. Everyone

The fact that reputable scientific journals can just disappear from the historical record is one more reason why public non-profit archives like arXiv are gradually, deservedly, becoming the dominant platforms for sharing and preserving n

I hesitated quite a bit before submitting the OP, but found it interesting enough to merit the submission, perhaps because I'm a fan of Orwell's work. Please don't forget the OP is an opinion piece, and do your best to keep

The other thing to keep in mind is that Transformers may well be end up being supplanted by more efficient alternatives with different hardware requirements . For instance, right now there's a new crop of "linear RNNs" (RWKV

Thank you. It seems only testing will answer the question.

To the moderators: I disagree with the OP's arguments and conclusions, but I don't think it should be flagged: The topic is interesting, and also important. It gets to the heart of a question that as a society we must answer: Wh

Yes. 100%. I'm utterly disgusted by it, and also thankful for it. These feelings are orthogonal to each other.

Thank you, this is helpful... although my initial thought was this may be useful for a rather different type of application: These new AI models, "linear RNNs," that have many layers, each layer processing large batches of seque

It's not just a commodity, but a very capital-and-labor-intensive one. Developing, training, retraining, and delivering a competitive AI service today requires an army of expensive people and a huge investment in infrastructure. It&#

Yes! That's pretty much how I would have thought about this with my puny little brain. But... I'm not sure 1 parallel scan with 2 floating-point mults and 1 sum per step is faster than 2 parallel scans with 1 sum per step. I don&#

Yes, but this uses only two plan-vanilla parallel scans, shown as a* and b* in the pdf. In the sample code, that's two calls to PyTorch's built-in API. That looks very efficient to me, almost like it shouldn't be possible

Too early to tell, but this looks like it could both simplify implementation and speed-up execution of linear RNNs like RWKV, Mamba, retnet, etc.
