Awesome, glad to hear that helped. Whatβs nice is that mixed-precision training itβs so easy to enable but can have a huge impact in practice π

UMAP faster than t-SNE despite being slower than PCA
By

Saying UMAP is slower than PCA is "the glass is half-empty" view haha.
The more positive take is: UMAP is much faster than T-SNE! -

Theory Behind Q, K, V Matrices in Language Models
By
–
Not sure whether there is any theory behind it vs just empirical observation that it works well. Maybe an intuition is that the Q, K, V matrices work well for language in general, and you don't want to screw them up. Whereas the other ones are more like the extraction params.
