Of course, it's software.
Easy mode: a bad system prompt update.
Hard mode: an adversarial example in the context.

System Robustness Against Component Failures and Adversarial Behavior
By
–
I just feel like this is the particular problem but not the *actual* deeper problem. Any part of the system should be allowed to go *crazy*, randomly or even adversarially, and the rest of it should be robust to that. This is what you want, even if robustness is very often at

Offline Tracker: Synthetic Data Generation for Tesla Self-Driving Networks
By
–
This is not very different from Tesla with self-driving networks. What is the "offline tracker" (presented in AI day)? It is a synthetic data generating process, taking the previous, weaker (or e.g. singleframe, or bounding box only) models, running them over clips in an offline

LLM Model Size Competition Moving Towards Smaller, Smarter Models
By
–
LLM model size competition is intensifying… backwards! My bet is that we'll see models that "think" very well and reliably that are very very small. There is most likely a setting even of GPT-2 parameters for which most people will consider GPT-2 "smart". The reason current

Free Educational Content with Revenue from Services

Good question I do want Eureka Labs to be a proper, self-sustaining business but I also really don't want to gatekeep educational content. My default thinking is that the content itself is free and permissively licensed, the revenue comes from everything else, e.g. running the

Training stability control with loss and gradient norm thresholding

Cool! For the spike I'd try e.g. `-sl 7 -sg 7` to keep instability in check earlier in the training. (will skip update if loss/gradnorm > 7 sigma outlier is detected)

Exactly as intended! GPT-2 is a beautiful "hello world" to LLMs but also distributed training etc.

Estimating compute improvements from 2019 to 2024
By
–
This information was never released but I'd expect it was a lot more. In terms of multipliers let's say 3X from data, 2X from hardware utilization, in 2019 this was probably a V100 cluster (~100 fp16 TFLOPS), down from H100 (~1,000), so that's ~10X. Very roughly let's say ~100X
