GPT-4

“We used GPT-4 to rephrase certain aspects of the chat data, reformatting it or kind of generating new types of tokens and language and types of data that the model could see.”

02 / belief

I think provably solvable is always something that I know is extremely difficult, but from a heuristical standpoint, as well as like having like some sort of statistical efficiency on like how you can converge to the downstream tasks and improve the performance that way in a targeted manner, I do think there are papers that try to do that.

Yeah, I think Alibi, we haven't compared with that one specifically, mostly because I've noticed some of the newer architectures don't actually employ it a lot.

Like how diverse are your embeddings space to the original corpus of the model, and then train on top of that to retain its abilities. And then finally, for the chat data set, making sure that it's attending to all the information that would be expected to really stretch its capabilities, because you could create like a long context data set where every single time the last 200 tokens could answer the entire question, and that's never going to make the model attend to anything.

Underrated specific instance would be the DeepSeek paper where I'd never seen it before, but the multi-head latent attention. That was really unexpected to me because I thought I'd seen every way that people wanted to cut mixture of experts into interesting ways.

You can get around the long context sometimes where you can do retrieval augmented generation or you do hierarchical recursive summarization, whereas evolution in like a session, because that state variable could undergo pretty rapid changes.

We definitely have a call to action to get more people to work together with us for long context evaluations. That is sort of the it topic throughout even meta or Google or any of the other folk are focusing on because I think we lack an understanding of that within the community.

Obviously, you know, you don't build everything that people ask you to build, but we know what's useful, right? Because I think that you're totally right there.

Yeah, I think there's a huge resurgence in what I would call model alchemy to a certain extent, because you're taking all of these LoRa's and you're mixing them together.

Yeah, in terms of, you know, all the literature out there, I would say, honestly, it's probably still TBD as to like the trade offs between the approach we did, which is more of a curriculum learning approach after the fact versus inherently training a model with a long context throughout, because I just don't think people have looked at the scaling properties of it in deep detail.

We do have historical precedent, where the original code bomb was trained further from Mama 2, and it just lost all its language capability, basically, right? So I don't want to call that project like deem it as a failure, but it wasn't a really successful generalization exercise, because, you know, these models are about flexibility and being like generic to a certain extent.
