Daj#7482: > MoE and PKM are strictly better than all-attention, so that's last to try lol @Deleted User Oh? Don't get me wrong I think it's all cool Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: But they did it, so what does it mean? Daj#7482: good question haha bmk#1476: > I'm down, I just have no experience with TPUs @AI_WAIFU don't worry ...
Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: Also, most dataset used in GPT-2/3 have the average sample length somewhere around 1024, so using longer context results in an improvement only on the samples longer than 1024 or so. Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: So, the gain is even smaller than datasets like Wikitext. Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: on number ...
Deleted User#0000: so certainyl AI_WAIFU#2844: @bmk What's the process for getting started with TPUs? Deleted User#0000: but for decoder, i don't know of that many techniques Deleted User#0000: the decoder is a big headache, to be honest.

Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: I read BERT has mouth paper. Unfortunately, BERT variants without fine-tuning performs pathetically, so you want to stick with GPT-2/3.

bmk#1476: aside from that one anomalous data point on the left, it looks like most of the improvement comes from longer context with bigger models bmk#1476: what's the matter with that, anyways? bmk#1476: the gap on the left in my graph doesnt look visibly big AI_WAIFU#2844: let me double check that I did things right....
bmk#1476: first token shouldnt mean much bmk#1476: thats still baffling though bmk#1476: 0.6 gap AI_WAIFU#2844: I think it's notable.

bmk#1476: currently running gutenberg bmk#1476: i have a feeling full gpt2 wont be very enlightening AI_WAIFU#2844: Maybe try doing a run with n=10000 and I can do loess to smooth it out. bmk#1476: i actually have one from earlier: bmk#1476: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/742946370020966450/...

bmk#1476: the gpt3 loss is artifically deflated because of the longer context length bmk#1476: even if your model literally is not better, by having a long context length you can average out that initial spike bmk#1476: like, even if you apply the exact same model on a rolling basis bmk#1476: you can make the loss seem...
bmk#1476: if you average, the peak on the left will screw you up AI_WAIFU#2844: Theoretically I argue it should be the last one, but then you get more variance in your validation estimates and you need to do more work. Deleted User#0000: you'd want all of them bmk#1476: what about the big peak though Deleted User#0000:...

@Aran Komatsuzaki I’m missing the context, but there is such a thing as an O(log n) algorithm. You may be confusing this with O(1/n) algorithms, which don’t exist. kindiana#1016: I think retrieval based "attention" will be very interesting, as its allows you to do fine tuning model outputs by just changing the retriev...
Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: but you argued that, since it covers large portion of training dataset, it should work Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: oh wait Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: if you use recurrence, the cached activations should become stale after some iterations, so the retrieval doesn't really work there. Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: ...

bmk#1476: the idea is so enticing bmk#1476: the theory seems to suggest that it's the perfect solution Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: yeah. unlike mle training space (e.g. cnn, transformer etc), the progress in rl/meta-learning seems very slow.

Semantic Aberration#3692: Surely some optimization priors would work better for such instances Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: @bmk yeah lol bmk#1476: Guys let's pump out all the papers we can bmk#1476: More papers = more legitimacy StellaAthena#3530: Right. But when I’m trying to solve optimization on a 40-dimensional simplex ...
Papers: https://eecs.wsu.edu/~cook/pubs/kdd03.pdf citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.98.4272&rep=rep1&type=pdf Semantic Aberration#3692: @StellaAthena There was talk about detecting GAN-generated images by their spectral discrepancies, maybe you could do the same on graphs, maybe even with graph spectra...
Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: Can you do that? bmk#1476: only daj can add channels though Semantic Aberration#3692: Startups like to talk about unit economics and share dilution StellaAthena#3530: Daj needs to give more people powers if we want to grow Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: @Daj Please create a new channel bmk#1476: he lives...
StellaAthena#3530: I didn’t honk anyone is proposing making us a start up StellaAthena#3530: The suggestion was to have a space to discuss start up ideas if people have them bmk#1476: ah that makes a lot more sense StellaAthena#3530: As soon as you became a for-profit org the whole@point of grass roots AI democratizati...
VitaminC#1262: Discovered this thanks to Aran Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: @dr Thanks a lot! bmk#1476: Great to have you here @dr! You can check out our (admittedly messy, in true organic grassroots fashion) planning document here to get an idea of what we've been doing https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wfCZBd18DMNt6YcC6bo...
kindiana#1016: data processing could be possible though bmk#1476: Unlike folding which divides easily into independent work units, it's going to be pretty hard to divide up training StellaAthena#3530: It’s a company resource, but my company allows me to spend time on passion projects. I believe there are currently six ...
kindiana#1016: I think the best shot at distributed training would be using model parallelism and reversible layers, so the minimum level of syncronization is required Deleted User#0000: so there's some people trying to solve this decentralized training scheme, with some modest success, last i touched healthcare AI Del...
bmk#1476: Man this field moves fast StellaAthena#3530: @Louis So, I actually only need low degree topical varieties which is why I am hopeful. Concretely, if you can determine whether p(x_0, ..., x_n) and q(x_0, ..., x_n) are the same polynomial or not where p and q are known to be **multilinear** tropical polynomials ...
StellaAthena#3530: Hey if I was to drop $10 and get us a custom URL for a website for a year, what would we want it to be? bmk#1476: we already own the obvious one StellaAthena#3530: What do we own? StellaAthena#3530: eleuther.ai? bmk#1476: yes bmk#1476: nothing is up yet though StellaAthena#3530: Dope Deleted User#000...
So my current plan would be to apply this initially to a box world, basically copying https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.10122 and replacing the VAE and LSTM with axial transformers. Before I go and spend the next month hooking this up to Atari and whatnot, are there any similar projects currently happening? I would assume Op...
bmk#1476: 👍 bmk#1476: wait uh how do we get a name@eleuther.ai email? Dmitry#5986: Joined the server. Daj#7482: We have to setup a decent email provider and point the domain to it, I think bmk#1476: hmm Daj#7482: Hey @Dmitry ! Welcome to the AI Construction Zone! Check the channel description for info and don't hesita...
Daj#7482: Guess we should think about better onboarding and distributed processing stuff bmk#1476: yeah kindiana#1016: data labeling is not as sexy as theorycrafting agi xP Daj#7482: > and people just join and not even say anything @bmk yes this is how discord works hah bmk#1476: im seriously considering just using tra...
bmk#1476: shit, we're making progress Daj#7482: Indeed Daj#7482: We'll get there in time bmk#1476: ok so blocking issue for :books2: is yarr harr servers. lets finally contact archivist bmk#1476: actually maybe we should get the pipeline working first? Daj#7482: Pipeline seems pretty dominant in importance Daj#7482: A...
Daj#7482: #website , boring name, but it works Sid#2121: > there's no way im ever getting enough data at this rate @bmk what about the repo @Semantic Aberration posted in the pile? Didn’t it already have a lot of html vs clean text data? Sid#2121: @Daj can I get access to the github org too? Daj#7482: Remind me of you...
Daj#7482: Hey @Babbleberns @JJ Hep @donderper @tobys ! Welcome to the AGI Bootcamp! Check the channel topic for info and don't hesitate to ask questions! Daj#7482: @Aran Komatsuzaki oof we really need to think hard about what our goals are here. This started as a little hobby project, I'm very hesitant about getting se...
StellaAthena#3530: FWIW, I get the same vibe from here that I get from DEF CON (I am one of the organizers of the DEF CON AI group) and I like that fact. Daj#7482: I think that's a very good thing then hah thenightocean#6100: you can be non-profit but still have crypto donations links on the website, right 😉 Aran Koma...
Daj#7482: Yes we have we've gotten so much further than I could have hoped goolulusaurs#1571: The thing is though, we are relying on TFRC, at least for now. DerekChia#4046: Joined the server. goolulusaurs#1571: (Also, I'm back, been very busy with work/classes/moving) Daj#7482: But yeah that is true. We should not kid ...
Daj#7482: There are so many reasons why a custom Datacenter sounds like a nightmare bmk#1476: used 1080ti is possibly the best in price per flop Daj#7482: And better things we could invest into Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: Why do you want to given we have TFRC? bmk#1476: i was talking about if tfrc goes south Aran Komatsuzak...
Daj#7482: This is wildly unfeasible and not what makes this place cool Deleted User#0000: Joined the server. Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: sup ethan goolulusaurs#1571: Another thing is with systems like L2L it might make more since to buy GPUs with lower amounts of VRAM. 2060s have half the flops of 2080tis, but are a quarter...
Daj#7482: Assuming 100% use and ignoring cooling, electricy, depreciation, real estate... Daj#7482: And man hours to maintain it all Daj#7482: We don't even have enough man hours to get someone to keep our TPUs occupied Daj#7482: There are much better things to spend that on bmk#1476: ok scratch that maybe itll take 2-...
bmk#1476: also, even taking the "175 TFLOPS!!!1" figure that nvidia puts for v100 tensor core performance, 10x 2060 would still match that and cost $3k while the V100 would cost $700-1000 goolulusaurs#1571: I feel like the biggest hurdle for people contributing, myself included, is that programming the TPUs is hard. bm...
Semantic Aberration#3692: No TPU v3 are a godsend. I think it's our job to utilize these efficiently. Semantic Aberration#3692: I'm saying this as someone running inference (GPT2) & training (smaller models) on my own GPU Semantic Aberration#3692: I will help with runs, soon, when I'm up to speed with your repo bmk#147...
Daj#7482: ISSAAAAC Daj#7482: nooooo bmk#1476: damn the bot is broekn Daj#7482: This is why we're losing focus Daj#7482: Without Isaac McHorse, EleutherAI is lost goolulusaurs#1571: Isaac still has the LibreAI logo too Semantic Aberration#3692: @Daj > What would "the crypto" even be for, exactly? I find it obvious that...
bmk#1476: I mean unlike VCs, if one is into crypto that provides a lot of evidence for being a fan of open stuff Daj#7482: Or for being a Chinese asset lol Semantic Aberration#3692: @Daj You don't think that OpenAI-like API (I can basically clone their frontend) for BTC (with, say, 50% margin) will not get traction ? D...
Daj#7482: But I agree that future models are far more interesting/exciting/scary Aran Komatsuzaki#5714: gpt-3 requires a bit of grad student descent at designing a good prompt, so i hope a robustness to perturbation in prompt will be addressed in gpt-4 goolulusaurs#1571: Judging from the last few years algorithms are g...
