About bytepoet

I teach systems undergraduate courses at Plaksha University, India. My research is on benchmarking reasoning abilities of LLMs and speeding up their inference and training using hardware/software optimizations.

    This is very cool. I enjoyed going through the writeup and GitHub README. I was wondering if these same optimizations can be brought to bear on training as well, rather than only i…

    I really enjoyed reading this, particularly the first part where the author was specific about why we invariably (and often vaguely) find LLM generated text slightly off. I cherish…

    The blog post is really good. I see that there's a follow-up piece 'The Fifth Kind of Optimisation' about parallelism. Something that I'd like to add is that it's helpful to unders…

    Thanks a lot, Sasha, for creating these. I found your LLM training puzzles to be excellent as well.
