JAX Deep Learning API: Keras Backend and Framework Choices
By
–
The problem with JAX always on the deep learning API side. Imho, it needed something like Keras. Nice that it’s now a backend! Btw, do use pure JAX in Keras or one of the intermediate APIs (like Flax)?

Transformers and LLMs: Beyond the Common Assumption
By
–
Not all transformers are LLMs, since transformers can also be used for computer vision. And not all LLMs are transformers as there are large language models based on – recurrent (RWKV, https://
arxiv.org/abs/2305.13048) – or convolutional (Hyena, https://
arxiv.org/abs/2302.10866) approaches. -

That’s a good point. Yeah if there is sufficient variety in the conversations, I can see how one can train a personal email assistant that way.
