RLHF and Encoder Modules in Decoder Architectures
By
–
Sure I don’t disagree, but since all these were before RLHF finetuned decoder architectures, I am curious whether it’s still necessary to have an encoder module. LLaMA-Adapter would be an example of adding img2txt capabilities w/o cross attention.

Emergent Abilities in LLMs: Responding to LeCun’s Critique
By
–
Yann LeCun is obviously a legend but I found this tweet to be quite misinformed. The whole point of "emergent abilities" such as few-shot prompting and chain-of-thought prompting, is that we clearly *did not* explicitly train or fine-tune them into the model. These abilities

Large Context Windows Still Need Better Information Retrieval
By
–
Big context windows aren’t the panacea yet – content in the middle of the input prompt is less likely to be used than if it’s on the ends. New work by team @samaya_AI “current language models do not effectively use their entire context, and that retrieval is still a crucial

Tuning LLM Personality: Agreeableness Control Coming Soon
By

I’m way too agreeable. I want LLMs to model my personality, and allow me to tune my agreeableness like the volume on my phone. I think that’s coming soon:

Shaping LLM Capabilities Through Guidance and Alignment
By

i keep hearing people say "we are discovering new capabilities" of LLMs, or "new capabilities emerge". that's the wrong metaphor. we are guiding, shaping, and aligning these models. by showing positive examples of desired outputs we aim to increase the likelihood that an LLM
