GPT-2 is the "hello world" of LLMs I think (there must be a better analogy… err MOS 6502? xv6?), so that's why I started there. And it has a proper paper, weights released and available, and a lot is known about it. At this point it is an artifact of historical significance.

GPT-2 Weight Initialization and Fine-tuning Strategy
By
–
atm we're doing init from gpt-2 weights and finetuning. this was very useful for debugging and when the code was slower. there is no code yet to init from scratch, so no code to warmup the lr etc. should be a very short addition though.

Synthesizing AI Responses with RAG Pipelines and SFT Models
By
–
It can be done: Gather any available real query examples, add in synthetic Q’s derived from docs. Synthesize responses using RAG pipeline. SFT (a smaller model) on resulting Q&A’s, without RAG context. Whether it saves any money is another question.

Meta AI vs ChatGPT: Internet Search Capabilities Compared
By
–
That's not an equal comparison, because Meta AI has the ability to search the internet and incorporate the search results into its responses – ChatGPT can do that too with Bing and GPT-4, but can't do that with 3.5

Llama 3 API Search Capabilities vs Perplexity Sonar
By

I've not see a Llama 3 API with built in search capacity yet – @perplexity_ai have sonar-medium-online but I think that's Mixtral 8x7B? They might upgrade to a Llama 3 online model soon though
