it's a pretty general policy but this is all super early, it's great at exploring websites so fuzzing was easy, for CAD it has good enough base rates with the few-shot prompt when …

relevant note is that we finetuned by having the human also use arrow keys which keeps it in-distribution but also slower to collect

yeah we actually had some wacky ideas with ctc + a reverse-causal mask but diffusion does just make it all a bit more simple

we do exponential binning but fwiw I think we can do way better just hasn't been the main research area initially

yeah we've done audio work in the past so we'll def merge the recipes at some point, long term should have full io that a human has (except maybe not generating video for video cal…

so cool :)

what's the basis for conversion between hours of neural data to number of tokens? is that counting the paired text tokens?

yep this. we just turned off management

we would be so down to buy s3 junkyard tbh we were going around begging various storage clouds to offer us this before giving up and building it ourselves

yep this was the case for us.

I think <2x more drives than needed, not 20x (24 vs 14TB), but the racks holding the drives could've been denser. Around the same cost in any case and our colo doesn't charge for s…

yeah we weren't sure about putting that number esp whether it includes all the image attachments, but in any case it's at least around the right reference class for the largest tex…

def agree on the setup fees, that was just a price crunch to get it done within the weekend. (too short-notice for professional services, too sensitive for craigslist, so basically…

yeah that's why we started paying people near the second half- not super clearly stated in the blogpost, but the novelty definitely wore off with plenty of drives left to stack, so…

yeah the cost calculus is very different for gpus, it absolutely makes sense for us to be using cloud there. also hardly any datacenters can support the power density, esp in downt…

it's not just in sf it's across the street from our office this has been incredibly nice for our first hardware project, if we ever expand substantially then we'd def care more abo…

yeah it's on the wishlist to try

our training stack doesn't make strong assumptions about data integrity, it's chill

When I was working at sfcompute prior to this we saw multiple datacenters literally catch on fire bc the industry was not experienced with the power density of h100s. Our training …

just general research work. Once the recipes are efficient enough the modality is a smaller detail. On the product side we're trying to orient more towards 'productive work assista…

yeah this it means that even after negotiating much better terms than baseline we run into the fact that cloud providers just have a higher cost basis for the more premium/general …

yeah misunderstanding we'll update the post-- separately it's true that we aren't network specialists and the network wrangling was prob disproportionately hard for us/ shouldn't h…

around 250

egress costs are the crux for AWS and they didn't budge when we tried to negotiate that we them, it's just entirely unusable for AI training otherwise. I think the cloudflare priva…

yeah it's totally plausible that we go with something like this in the future. We have similar offers where we could separate out either the financing, the build-out, or both and j…
