I've been curious about this use case, so cool to see, and more so, to know it worked! This is essentially a realization of how graph RAG flavor systems work under the hood. Basically you create hierarchical summary indexes, such as to

Our scenario would be more like using Clickhouse / a dwh for session cohort/workflow filtering and then populating otel tools for viz goodies. Interestingly, to your point, the otel python exporter libs are pretty simple, so SQL r

Clickhouse has text + vector indexes, so that may be native, though we have never used them and I find vector indexes tricky to scale w other DBs. Text... Or neither... may be enough in practice tho as we mostly only care about searching on

As users of otel, we are looking at reusing otel for our LLM stack, and as it is easy to instrument, don't need a new framework for that part. However, the more interesting part is the storage: Imagine ingesting 100pg PDFs or 1M tweets

Yeah I think, after this snippet was written, cuda added __all_sync as an intrinsic. The divergent code before this was plain-ish cuda, and this snippet ensures they wait on the comparison vote before recurring. So in the AMD version, the c

It's supposed to be waiting for all threads to vote I'm not familiar with AMD enough to know if additional synchronization is needed. ChatGPT recommended adding barriers beyond what that gave, but again, I'm not familiar wit

Ah I was reading the 'deeper dive' section on my phone and missed it was a comparison, not a warning, thank you I'm curious how something like this example would translate: === Mapping lower-level ptx patterns to higher-level

Looks like the PTX translation is via another project ZLUDA, though how they bridge the differences in memory/consistency/etc models safely remains unclear to me...

Oh that will be interesting to understand, as PTX gets to more about trickier hw-arch-specific phenomena that diff brands disagree on, like memory models. Neat!

Sort of A lot of our hw-aware bits are parameterized where we fill in constants based on the available hw . Doable to port, same as we do whenever new Nvidia architectures come out. But yeah, we have tricky bits that inline PTX, and.. that

I'm happy to see third-party comparisons, most of the marketing here indeed just assumes KGs are better with zero proof: marketers to be wary of. Unfortunately, I suspect a few key steps need to happen for this post to fairly reflect w

My intuition is: 1. For small individual queries, sqllite: think oltp. Naive graph databases are basically KV stores, and native ones, more optimized here. DuckDB may also be ok here but afaict it is columnar-oriented, and I'm unclear

If you think about classical synthesis as fancy tricks around optimizing SAT encodings & search, neural synthesis becomes about how to solve np-hard problems there instantly. There are other perspectives as well, but that's already

This is a very classic view, and while interesting, IMO the modern take doesn't start till lecture 22. I would expect a reformulation of the lecture series by now. As is, it reads as if an AI course does 21 lectures on Bayesian methods

Where is the fine-tuning source code + data and with what license? Afaict that's the proprietary part which is why it isn't in their github and hf doesn't link to it. Hence my comment that I don't see how to do further f

I've been mixed on this, it seems great for throwaway projects but a dead end for ones that survive: * Out-of-the-box fine-tuned model for extraction makes for an easier start, so happy to see this out there * ... But presumably one of
