ALiBi Models Performance Extension Without Fine-Tuning
By
–
Unlike existing techniques – this method requires no additional fine tuning. By setting a few parameters in your HuggingFace config.json, you can instantly extend the performance of ALiBi models such as BTLM-3B-8K by ~2x: https://

Position Interpolation Doubles Context Length for ALiBi Models
By
–
Paper drop: Position Interpolation Improves ALiBi Extrapolation We found a simple method to 2x the context length of models that use ALiBi. This lets models like BTLM-3B-8K and MPT-7B-8K run high quality inference at up to 16K with no additional fine tuning.

By
–
Yup.
And that's why military R&D is years behind.
Closed R&D organisations inevitably trail behind open ones because the set of potential contributors is smaller and less diverse.
