New paper — In ‘Unnatural Instructions’ we propose a new method to automatically generate natural language instructions, allowing us to scale up to 240K diverse instructions & train models that rival the performance of contemporary instruction-tuned models. Read on ArXiv

Perplexity AI: Modern Wolfram Alpha with Language Interface

Yesterday, @amasad said @perplexity_ai gave him a similar search experience to Wolfram Alpha. The ability to go beyond just answers but also plots and visualize is a significant step to building the modern version of Wolfram with a language interface. https://t.co/n2oWvzUFHz

LLMs Reliability Limitations and Twitter Indexing Accuracy
By
–
LLMs aren't yet 100% reliable, and our Twitter indexing isn't exhaustive. So Bird SQL may not be accurate on all queries.

Caching improvements Previously, caching was enabled for either all LLMs or None But @devonbrackbill pointed out you may want to turn off caching for certain LLM calls – eg in recursive summarization This is now possible Docs: https://

Gradient Backpropagation and Frequent Word Prioritization in Training
By
–
Because we sum, the gradients for each token get backpropagated to all the rows that were used for it. So with enough training, the model ends up at a good compromise. Frequent words are naturally prioritised in this, because they'll simply have more gradients.

Hashing Unknown Words to Shared Vector Rows for Rare Words
By
–
Imagine we gave the unknowns the last 100 rows instead. When we see an unknown word, we'll hash its word form, and mod the result to pick a row for it. Each unknown word will share its vector with lots of others, but its vector-mates are probably rare.
