    Rest assured that we are better at training models than naming them ;D - New benchmark SOTAs with 77.9% on SWE-Bench-Verified, 79.9% on SWE-Lancer, and 58.1% on TerminalBench 2.0 -…

    The ELI5 of the paper is that most "unlearning" methods can be regarded as adding some delta `w` to the parameters of the network, but most of `w` just gets "rounded away" during q…

    It looks like they didn't want to make a public submission in order to avoid disclosing the model internals: https://cosine.sh/blog/genie-technical-report#:~:text=SWE%2D... .

    It’s probably more. Pretty conservatively, if the KV embedding dimension for each token is ~10K x 100 attention layers (this is roughly the scale of Llama3.1 405B) that’s already 1…

    This is also a good paper on the subject: What Algorithms can Transformers Learn? A Study in Length Generalization https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.16028

    Yes. But also note that the new function calling is actually “tool calling” where the model is also fine-tuned to expect and react to the output of the function (and there are vari…

    If you think about it, RAG is a relatively primitive “first pass attention layer” that is binary and semi-heuristic based. I think it’s fairly safe to say that in the long term RAG…

    If sub-quadratic architectures (eg Mamba) become a thing, it will become feasible to precompute most of the work for a fixed prefix (i.e. system prompt) and the latency can be pret…

    Indeed: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.01032.pdf Perhaps future iterations of SSMs will accommodate dynamically sized (but still non-linearly-growing) hidden states / memories!

    Comment #39485868

    “RNN-mode inference” is also extremely exciting because you can precompute the hidden state of any prompt prefix (i.e. a long system prompt, or statically retrieved context) and co…

    It appears the indexing for the model parts is deliberately not contiguous; the 03-82 range represents the main 80 transformer layers. https://github.com/yandex/YaLM-100B/blob/main…
