DBRX: A new open LLM

Re: DBRX: A new open LLM
#132It's great how we went from "wait.. this model is too powerful to open source" to everyone trying to shove down their 1% improved model down the throats of developers
People are building and releasing models. There's active research in the space. I think that's great! The attitude I've seen in open models is "use this if it works for you" vs any attempt to coerce usage of a particular model.
To me that's what closed source companies (MSFT, Google) are doing as they try to force AI assistants into every corner of their product. (If LinkedIn tries one more time to push their crappy AI upgrade, I'm going to scream...)

The release notes on the databricks console definitely says open source. If you click the gift box you will see:
Try DBRX, our state-of-the-art open source LLM!

#134The scale on that bar chart for "Programming (Human Eval)" is wild. Manager: "looks ok, but can you make our numbers pop? just make the LLaMa bar smaller"
I believe it's a reasonable range for the scores. If a model gets everything half wrong (worse than a coin flip), it's not a useful model at all. So every model below a certain threshold is trash, and no need to get granular about how trash it is. An alternative visualization that could be less triggering to an "all y-axes must have zero" guy would be to plot the (1-value), that is, % degraded from perfect score. You…
> less triggering to an "all y-axes must have zero" guy
Ever read 'How to Lie with Statistics'? This is an example of exaggerating a smaller difference to make it look more significant. Dismissing it as just being 'triggered' is a bad idea.

Dude, what the hell are you talking about?

#136Earlier quoted context omitted.
OTOH having the chart start at zero would REALLY emphasize how saturated this field is, and how little this announcement matters.
The difference between 32% and 70% wouldn't be significant if the chart started at zero?
It would be very obvious indeed how small the difference between 73.7,73.0,71.4,and 69.8 actually is.

#137Just curious, what business benefit will Databricks get by spending potentially millions of dollars on an open LLM?
Their goal is to always drive enterprise business towards consumption. With AI they need to desperately steer the narrative away from API based services (OpenAI). By training LLMs, they build sales artifacts (stories, references, even accelerators with LLMs themselves) to paint the pictures needed to convince their enterprise customer market that Databricks is the platform for enterprise AI. Their blog details how th…
Do they use spark for the training?
Re: DBRX: A new open LLM
#138I’d like to know how Nancy Pelosi, who sure as hell doesn’t know what Apache Spark is, bought $1 million worth (and maybe $5million) of Databricks stock days ago.
