Maybe. Goliath 120B took two different llama variants and interwove the layers. Surprisingly Goliath 120B quantized to 2bit is outperforming llama 70B 4bit in many benchmarks. https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/co

I wonder if separate LLMs can find each other’s logical mistakes. If I ask llama to find the logical mistake in Yi output, would that work better than llama finding a mistake in llama output? A logical mistake might imply a blind spot inher

Not a word from Ilya. I can’t wrap my mind around his motivation. Did he really fire Sam over “AI safety” concerns? How is that remotely rational.

The largest rocket ever built just got to space for the first time. Even without re-entry this is a milestone. They have a production line to build these things. They’ll roll out the next one and try again. It’s not like SLS where everythin

Altogether, it was a terrific flight and a big step forward for the Starship program. The biggest success was the survival of stage zero, which bodes well for a quick turnaround for the next flight. Hot staging was the second big success, a

If anything this is a power grab by the board away from Microsoft. Optimistically, this could be an attempt to return OpenAI to its original status as a true non-profit company. OpenAI lost most of its openness under Sam. They needed the Mi

You're describing a post scarcity world. The whole point of an economy is to manage scarcity, talking about economic value post AGI is nonsensical. The responsibility to produce and distribute goods post AGI will fall to the government

Why would it be limited to a few people? If the impacts are as far reaching as people expect an open source AGI will be inevitable. Useful algorithms are very hard to keep secret. I imagine a future with few jobs, where everyone is largely

I'd think of it less like teaching the model something new, and more like enforcing a behavior the model can already output. Any decent raw model can output function names and parameters with prompt engineering. To do function calling,

Going from C++ to python is a little unfair. How many examples would a human need to learn python coming from C++? Its probably more than you can fit in a LLM context window.

I use it frequently with my own custom UI framework. It’s never seen my framework before but it can output new, useable code with just a few examples. If that’s not generalization I don’t know what is.

People say this like it’s a fact. Until the courts decide otherwise or your AI model is regurgitating copyrighted data verbatim, generative AI is probably not violating copyright.

The model wasn’t update after the initial training, they’re definitely using in-context learning. The advancement here, as I understand it, is that they’ve achieved in-context learning with a very small model. From the paper: >> Few-s

It’s called in-context learning. I wouldn’t call it a trick so much as the most exciting and useful feature of LLMs. A lot of research is being done to expand the context window which would allow you to prime the model with entire books or

That sounds like a lot of work for something that can be worked around trivially. Add a small amount of random noise to the images and you’re done. Most people are probably doing this already for data augmentation purposes.
