It’s important to remember that GPT4 is only deterministic at the batch level because it is a mixture of experts model. Basically every time you invoke it, your query could get routed to a different expert because of what else is in the bat

I don't understand the play here for Modular. If this is a worthwhile improvement that is broadly applicable, won't it at some point make it's way into Python, numpy, etc? In Java land we had a bunch of other JVMs over the ye

I'm building a webapp backend in Python right now and the ecosystem compared to Java is just horrendous. * Maven (or at the very least transitive dependency management) is a defacto standard. While some solutions exist such as Poetry,

Using GPT3.5/4 in our language learning app and people seem to enjoy it. [1] Tried Llama2 and it definitely doesn’t even come close for what we’re doing. Would absolutely need fine tuning. Maybe customers don’t enjoy chat bots for cust

I really don't want another database. I just want to have a solution built in for Postgres, and more specifically, RDS, which we use. I know there will be some extra difficulty that I will have to manage (e.g. reindexing to a new model

Yes, however, it can generate a training dataset to fine tune a smaller model really cheaply, which can then scale.

There is no such thing as davinci-003 per se. There is text-davinci-003 which you can't fine tune, and davinci which you can.

Also, there's a huge difference between "it works for an ML benchmark" and "it works for real life use cases". OpenAI has done a phenomenal job with instruction tuned models, enabling fine tuning for any use case ve

Does OpenAI provide guarantees now around fine tuned models being loaded 24/7? Last time I fine tuned Curie models they took forever to load and that killed it for me as we’re building an interactive application.

A couple points which I don't see elsewhere: 1) They have the best quality model. Better quality means more users. More users means more data. Which means higher quality... 2) operationalizing & scaling these these models is non-tr

Temperature = 0 solves a lot of it, but not all. A list of all options solves a portion of the remaining. Not sure what to do about the rest - maybe ask the LLM?

LangChain is very cool. Templates and composability are the way forward. I'm guessing that most folks haven't created composable prompts, so a few experiences on why this stuff is necessary. I've been building a language lear

Perhaps, but language is the common denominator in a multi-model world. E.g., I pass the GPT output into other models which are fine tuned for that sub domain. You can do embedding to embedding conversion, but not sure it's worth the e

Also, a pretty sophisticated way to manage transitive dependencies. Python is an absolute mess in this regard (as well as pretty much everything else with dependency management…)

100% agree with this. In the early phases (in my experience) encountering of new word drastically outpaces your ability to do flashcards. And this is fine! Then, as you progress, you don't don't need to review every damn flashcard

I have been working on a form of this for a language learning app [1]. The basic idea is that it gets you do free form output (discussion questions, word games, etc), gives you feedback on where you have errors and then sets up SR flashcard

Apologies - this wasn't clear. I didn't mean to say we generalize to all cases. I should have said it was more helpful for some of the common cases that plague language learners.
