Importance of Disclosing Model Size and Training Data
By
–
In this particular case, I think it’s perfect fine to tell people how large a model is, and what size is the training data it was trained on. It’s the absolute minimum information one should convey (say, in a model card) anyways, to communicate about the ML model to its audience.

ML Trade Secrets Impossible to Keep Due to Research Culture Sharing

As I’d said before, it is impossible to keep trade secrets in ML, especially at big companies, due to ML research culture. Researchers from all the competing labs all hang out with each other and share all sorts of info about their work, as hackers would. https://

PaLM 2 Leak: Parameters and Tokens Revealed, But Key Details Missing
By

There’s much talk about Google’s PaLM 2 details being leaked. But seems the only thing “leaked” is unsurprising info: the model has 360B params trained on 3.6T tokens, rather than important details like dataset and architectural tricks. What’s the big fuss?
