Because it might not be clear: … d)Fully open-sourced a family of 7B parameter models capable of processing long text documents (LWM-Text, LWM-Text-Chat) and videos (LWM, LWM-Chat) of over 1M tokens. https://huggingface.co/LargeWorldModel In terms of content, I am blown away yet again by the SoTA speeding on by as I try to catch up. Can someone with a more cynical eye point me to competitors or problems with this app…

Look at how RingAttention is implemented: it's blockwise attention distributed among many GPUs, in other words bruteforce parallelization. For inference they use TPUs v4-128, not running this at home any time soon.

What is this month's best choice to run at home?

wow. talk about that show with the Lost guy as an eccentric billionaire? this is what he built as a surveillance system.

Person of interest, and it is actually a very well thought and down to earth show. Quite interesting to see many of the elements in the show coming to life with recent AI advancements.

exactly. back when i watched tv that was my favorite show.

Some pretty fascinating collaborators:

- Matei Zaharia, a CTO of Databricks - Pieter Abbeel Director of the Berkeley Robot Learning Lab, Co-Director of the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) lab - Two talented PhD students: Hao Liu, Wilson Yan

Is there any information on a suggested inference setup? I guess they had something different in mind than TPU v4-128 when they put it on HuggingFace?

looking at https://github.com/LargeWorldModel/LWM - they seem to indeed suggest to use a TPU vm

I wonder why are the example videos this specific clip compilation format.

It feels to me that to navigate that, you essentially have to index 500 10-seconds videos, and that looks a lot easier than retrieving information that is in an actual 1 hour long video, because the later one will have a lot more of easy to mix-up moments. So maybe it hides an inability to answer questions about actual long videos (in the paper, the other example videos cap at 3 minutes length for what I can see).

On the other hand, maybe it's just for results presentation purposes, because it is much more readily "verifiable" for everyone than saying "trust us, in this very long video, there's the correct answer unarguably".

So if someone happens to more about that, I'd be very interested
