Sure I don’t disagree, but since all these were before RLHF finetuned decoder architectures, I am curious whether it’s still necessary to have an encoder module. LLaMA-Adapter would be an example of adding img2txt capabilities w/o cross attention.

Decoder-Only Architectures for Vision-Language Models
By
–
That makes sense. But you could also use a decoder-only architecture (with embedded image tokens as part of the input, as in LLaMA-Adapter, for example). (* This uses an encoder for the tokens, but it's still a decoder-only architecture due to the lack of cross-attention)

Initial AI Implementation: Data Collection and Open Source Competition

The initial implementation is pretty basic. Part of this is also to see what types of questions people ask We’ll probably gather data, make some improvements, then open source the data plus eval and turn it into a little competition to improve

Comparing Decoder-Only Models to Encoder-Decoder Architectures for Translation
By
–
The original transformer is an encoder-decoder arch for translation. T5 is a great encoder-encoder that’s pretty good at translation. ChatGPT / GPT-4 is a decoder-only that’s pretty good at translation too. How does it compare to encoder-decoder architectures of similar size?

Encoder vs Decoder LLMs: Benefits for Seq2Seq Tasks
By
–
Use cases for encoder LLMs (classification) & decoder LLMs (chatbots) are obvious. Seq2seq tasks like translation, where it makes sense to have access to the whole input, is where it gets interesting.
Re encoder-decoder LLMs (eg T5): Is there still a benefit of using an encoder?
