Question is, would an incompetent, overworked person take the time and humility to actually ask the AI? You did, because you cared. With incompetent or overworked people, the problem is often that they just don’t care, or have no capacity t

What we now need is an AI that actually reads all that AI generated stuff. It’s like we solved one problem (creation), and created another (consumption).

Thanks for the clarification. Does that mean then that when parallelization is not important, training an adapter might be just as good as or better than LoRA?

I’m wondering what the difference is between LoRA and adapters. Especially I’m wondering whether LoRA is being used for LLaMA because it is proven to be better or simply because it happened to be the first such technique that worked and now

That’s probably what OpenAI does with their custom fine tuned models, no?

What is the difference to training an adapter? Or to adding a new task specific layer [0]? Has it been demonstrated that LoRA works best out of all of these approaches? [0] https://towardsdatascience.com/adding-custom-layers

Silly. Yes, there will be human language interfaces to existing APIs. But: The APIs themselves will still be in their own “non natural” language. Precisely because such a technical language defines boundaries. Even the author, in his exampl

Exactly. After all, this is the point of AI. That you don’t write the code/rules/weights yourself.

Why? Dolly had nothing to do with Llama or its weights. Besides: How would anyone ever know which model generated the output you are serving? AFAIK there is no fingerprint in any model’s output. And even if there was, it would probably be d

SimpleT5 Python library might be if help. Allows you to train a model basically on just a dataframe. Can probably run it on Google Colab for free, given that you just want to classify a few hundred megabytes of text data. Also, there are ze

Isn’t it interesting how that “cloze deletion” technique described here in 1997 is what they use today to train powerful large language models? (Obviously it’s been described even earlier, for instance back in the 1960s by BF Skinner, for “

I was wondering. They do give you an embeddings endpoint. Can’t that theoretically be used to reconstruct the model’s weights?

Sounds a bit like Chomsky’s critique of Skinners “Verbal Behavior”, which kind of put him on the map back in the 60s. Though Skinner gave us teaching machines, ping pong playing pigeons, clicker training and, indirectly, ChatGPT.

Ha. Thanks for clarifying. I had read your comment the other way around and thought you were trying to be rude. I guess if someone knows emacs then maybe they’ll just try those key bindings and discover that they work. I never worked with e

Ok. Interesting. Where on macOS can I use these for navigating inside text? If I’m inside Textmate, for instance, typing F just… well, types an F. And it would seem to me that that’s the case anywhere on macOS where there is a cursor, no?

There is a GitHub repo / Python lib called com2fun which exploits this. Allows you to get results from functions that you only pretend exist. (Am on mobile and can’t link to it right now.)

I guess the idea is to trick the model into generating pseudo code. Which really doesn’t do much more than to act as a “scratchpad“ to focus the attention of the model to reason through the problem. Besides, the Codex models are free right

This actually has nothing to do with fine-tuning in the technical sense. You are actually using vector search and injecting the results of that into the prompt for GPT. It is a good approach, but to use the word “fine-tuning“ for that is co

Don’t even need human time. Just run it through davinci. Is this correct, yes or no? Or MTurk. Can cost less than $500.
