What is the best way in terms of price/convenience ratio to run the 70B model on the cloud? Are there any providers offering out-of-the box setups?

Having worked on ML products, there is sometimes debate on whether you should train on the test partition prior to prod deployment - after all, why would you ship a worse model to prod? Obviously you can't tell whether the model is better at generalization compared to an alternate technique, and you also incur some overfit risk. But many industrial problems are solvable through memorization.

...because you need a control to evaluate how well your product is doing? I know it's a young field, but boy, do some folk love removing the "science" from "data science"

I genuinely have no idea what N-Point definition of open source you’re using. The term “open source” doesn’t have a singular definition. I liked the comment somewhere in this thread that if you stuck 5 HN users in a room you’d get 12 definitions for open source. Sounds like people need to come with more precise terms like “GNU Open Source” or similar. Because at this point we’ve gone too far and there will never be a…

This was a huge thing in the 1990s - yes there is a singular definition, by the Open Source Initiative https://opensource.org/ That's a good thing, because otherwise corporations constantly try to stretch the definition and make it meaningless. Same then, same now!

OSI has done a poor job in their mission because they’ve failed to define the spectrum of projects between “personal definition or open source” and “fully closed source”. And now everyone is using the term open source in a manner they did not sanction. Because their definition is not particularly relevant.

> say the tracklist for lou reed album 'new york' >Sure! The tracklist for Lou Reed's album "New York" is as follows: >"Heroin" >"New York City" >"Kicks" >"Betrayed" >"I'm Waiting for the Man" >"The Kids" >"Oh! Sweet Honey Pie" >"Sunday Morning" >"Romeo Had Juliette" >"The Bed" >I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

If LLama 2 were a Lou Reed album, it would probably be Metal Machine Music.

turning up the temperature, you get multiple entries of 'the power of positive drinking' in the tracklist.. it's hilarious.

Firefox's market share is below 8.75%, so it cannot have 700 million monthly active users as of the Llama 2 release date, so it does not need permission.

(Human population / 700 million ≈ 8.75%. Firefox global market share, I've seen measurements reported from 2.81% to 7.69%).

I asked it about cannibals. It said > I do not support or condone the practice of cannibalism, as it is harmful and exploitative towards the individuals who are consumed. Then it said that cannibals have inherent worth and dignity and that we should strive to appreciate what they do. Then it crashed and is now responding to all following inputs with just the letter "I"

I let it write some machine learning quote and tried to make it guess good hyperparameters, then it crashed and just kept repeating the word "Based".

"based" indeed.
