Really useful! For a specific task, a synthetic dataset generated from a bigger model can be all you need to bring a smaller model all the way up to its bigger sibling's performance!

AutoTrain Fine-tuned Llama3 Outperforms Base Instruct Model
By
–
AutoTrain finetuned llama3 beats the base instruct model on all but one benchmark on the open llm leaderboard This model was finetuned using ORPO and is also publicly available. No code was written and all the setup took less than 10mins. `pip install autotrain-advanced`

I had the same thought when I was listening to this — I think it’s exponential if u plot MMLU (model performance) vs time (year achieved)

GPT-2 Activation Memory and GPU Cache Analysis
By
–
Makes sense, in GPT-2 (124M) case we're currently doing B=4, T=1024, C=768 => 3M activations @ float32 => 12MB. A100 L2 cache is 40MB, and even L1, at 192KB/SM with 108 SMs => ~= 20MB (wow, that's more than I expected). The pleasures of smaller networks and caches…

a bit surprised to only see ~1-2% out of it, which then washes out in training, as the layernorm is not a top-ranking time kernel. Also tried float4 and unrolling but that didn't improve it too much bleh -
PyTorch Pay-Per-Use Model Through Advanced Compiler Technology
By
–
I think some day, projects like PyTorch will make users pay only for the overhead they use. Lots of R&D needed to get there: compiler technology, type systems, various other things. Actually, LuaJIT was really cool in that aspect — one of the most brilliant pieces of
