In 2021, the Chinese government went so far as to require all citizens in northern Myanmar to return to their hometowns in a attempt to combat the scams. It can hardly be called soft. https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/poli

Undecidable languages are formal languages, too, even though there's no Turing machine that can accurately determine for any string whether it is part of the language or not. A formal language is a set of finite-length sequences (calle

The paper is about the ability of transformers to learn a task based on training data for that task only, not about LLMs pretrained on much of the internet. And training on log tables doesn't necessarily allow the model to always outpu

The paper uses a number representation that is designed to make attention easy to learn: each digit is a separate token and the least significant digit is put first, so that the first digit of the output is simply the sum of the first digit

In particular, part of the paper is about dynamically adjusting the number of tokens generated in parallel while maintaining roughly the same output quality as one-token-at-a-time decoding. The other part is about the KV caching strategy th

Many of those regional militias are or were integrated into the Tatmadaw as Border Guard Forces to hold territory against other militias. E.g. the scam centers in Laukkai were run by the local BGF until 2023 when the Tatmadaw lost control t

You don't have to use the same token dictionary for input and output. There's things like simultaneously predicting multiple tokens ahead as an auxiliary loss and for speculative decoding, where the output is larger than the input

You can download twice-monthly database dumps, but they consist of the raw wikitext, so you need to do a bunch of extra work to render templates and stuff. Meanwhile, if you write a generic scraper, it can connect to Wikipedia like it conne

The paper is about techniques to do that dynamic allocation to maximize utilization without incurring unacceptable latencies. If you let a GPU sit idle for several minutes after serving a single request, you're setting money on fire. S

From the SCMP article you might get the impression that the various figures all refer to the same GPU cluster, but in the paper itself it's very clear that this is not the case, i.e. the 213 GPUs in the smaller cluster are not serving

Not really, Figure 1(a) of the paper says that the 17.7% are relative to a total of 30k GPUs (i.e. 5310 GPUs for handling those 1.35% of requests) and the reduction is measured in a smaller beta deployment with only 47 different models (vs.

The string goes slack when it lifts off, so it's not like it's being pulled up. I think it's there to catch it in the inevitable case of a crash. And maybe they haven't figured out how to land gracefully yet.
