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…

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…

Not the author, but really nice that they shared some real data points: > Once our Text-to-SQL solution was in production, we were also able to observe how users interacted with th…

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…

Comment #39558336
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…
