llm.c Optimization: Matching PyTorch Performance After Bug Fix
By
–
Highly amusing update, ~18 hours later: llm.c is now down to 26.2ms/iteration, exactly matching PyTorch (tf32 forward pass). We discovered a bug where we incorrectly called cuBLAS in fp32 mathmode . And ademeure contributed a more optimized softmax kernel for very long rows

Tokenizer Training Data: Understanding Token Presence Significance

If uberinternal WAS a token that tells you that it was one of the top ~30,000 character sequences present in the text they used to build the tokenizer – which is a different corpus from the training set used to train the model uberinternal not being a token doesn't tell you much

AI Agents Limited by GPT-4 Brain but Show Huge Potential
By

I see a lot of debate on this site, so two things about the current state of AI agents in the real world
1) Agents remain limited by GPT-4 brains, it is early
2) Both academic testing & my own subjective experience (
