Note that this paper appears to have a critical flaw: they didn't actually verify that their "optimized" kernels have the same output as the original kernels. So some of their "optimized" kernels gamed the system by

Cuba has been going through a crazy major decline ever since COVID. It's pretty rare for a mostly developed country to collapse into poverty without a war. Roughly 5% of the population is fleeing the island each year: https:/&#x2

I think you mean the buffer interface? I think the buffer interface is too complex to provide directly to users. I think an API that returns numpy arrays is simpler and easier to understand.

The key to understanding the difference is that transformers are attention models where tokens can "attend" to different tokens. Encoder models allow all tokens to attend to every other token. This increases the number of connecti

I think the big reason why BERT and T5 have fallen out of favor is the lack of zero shot (or few shot) ability. When you have hundreds or thousands of examples, BERT works great. But that is very restricting.
