rodneybrooks.com/blog post covering some of my opening keynote on Nov 28th for MIT's Generative AI Week is now up. This is one of the topics I talked about–the impact of the existence of LLMs on three long running debates in AI & linguistics. I have this handle at bsky social.

Mixture of Experts Routing History in Language Models
By
–
The idea of MoE/routing for LMs has a long history (e.g. Fig 4 of this 2010 multimodal PAQ LM https://
arxiv.org/pdf/1108.3298.
pdf
…) but executions and not just the idea matter a lot, and we should welcome every advance. Matt Mahoney attributes the idea to @SchmidhuberAI -

Better Coding With ChatGPT
— Louis-François Bouchard 🎥🤖 (@Whats_AI) 9 décembre 2023
Talk with it and communicate your problems, ask questions, brainstorm, and debug. Use it as a friend coding with you. ChatGPT is the evolution of rubber duck debugging.

Seed Averaging: Essential Technique for Deployed LLM Models
By
–
This is why I still believe that seed averaging is a MUST for even the deployed models. It helps with accuracy AND reliability. Of course, it also requires more compute, but that might be the only way to overcome the current limitations of the LLM-based products.

AI Self-Talk: The Evolution of RLHF and Instruction Following
By
–



"Let's think step by step" is the best-known instance of this, but people forget the phrase isn't instruction, it's self-talk — before RLHF the distinction mattered:

Prompt Engineering Techniques for Steering AI Model Behavior

Exhibit A in why prompt engineering is more fun with old-school completion vs. newfangled ChatML APIs — if you put some care into avoiding tokenization gotchas, "speaking for the model" is the most reliable way to steer it:

“Generating sequential data is the closest computers get to dreaming.” Seems to be the consensus among ML researchers for the past decade
