LLM seems to have become synonymous with Generative Transformer architecture. While this model may share much with GPT-style models on the encoder side, it clearly has a different decoder architecture. So is a high-parameter count language

Has LLM become so synonymous with Generative Transformer that other high-parameter count models that interpret language need a different name? For all we know this might be a non-language-generative transformer e.g. a transformer where the

This is likely still an LLM (in the purest definition of a language model with relatively many parameters) since the inputs are natural language, just not a generative LLM as the output is something other than more language.

Halved would be a 50% percent reduction. 0.15/0.22 ≈ 0.68, meaning a roughly 32% reduction on inputs. The 50% reduction is only outputs and cached inputs.

The author misses the difference between cashflow and profit entirely. Selling a car today gives Tesla the full profits of that hardware production today. Running that car as a robotaxi means that Tesla eats the costs of the hardware today

I'm not sure if the website allows for diffs against arbitrary tree states, but if it does than the diff space is completely unbounded, and the ram demand is theoretically infinite.

by riknos314 26d ago
The amount of memory required to cache all possible diffs (defined as an ordered pair of commits) would likely be in the exobytes. At current ram prices that's easily a trillion dollars of ram to run that cache lol. Git focuses on mak

I'm curious if this stems from the focus on token efficiency. My thinking is that in order to use fewer tokens the model must converge to a likely path faster, meaning it must be more confident in making assumptions quickly and not se

Time to market also matters a ton. If they can start shipping chips <1 month after the weights drop that's much more compelling than if it's a 6+ month development pipeline.

Buying the team and then actually making the models open is an interesting avenue for driving hardware demand (basically making openai models the new nemotron). Unlikely but quite interesting.

I'd argue that the author's choice of volume as the metric to compare against is a poor one. The costco hotdog contains 580 calories, approximately 110 of which is the bun. If the bun shrinks by 30%, the calories of the entire do

As long as the linguistics are the issue rather than raw inability to understand the concepts being communicated, then the model is just being a bad communicator.

I'm missing an accuracy vs bits graph here. Cool to see this running but if it's at 10%+ loss vs 16bit that's less cool. Hard to understand that story from what's published here.
