This is rather profound Large language models shows signs of being capable of self recursively improving their code. This is both exciting and poses somewhat of a larger risk. What a time to be alive.

Factuality in LLMs: Benchmarks and Knowledge Assessment
By

Nice paper by Tu Vu on factuality in LLMs: http://
arxiv.org/abs/2310.03214, enjoyed contributing in a minor role to it while I was at Google. The main takeaway for me is that most factuality benchmarks for LLMs don't really take into account the fact that many types of knowledge -

Excited to share FreshLLMs, our work that gives a “fresh” look of LLMs in the context of factuality! Our newly-curated FreshQA benchmark showed that LLMs still struggle on real-time knowledge and false-premise statements. More importantly, our technique FreshPrompt to incorporate

Freezing Layers and Discriminative Learning Rates in Fine-Tuning
By
–
Very happy to see more folks supporting what I've been saying for years — it really is a good idea to freeze layers when fine tuning. (And it's also a good idea to use discriminative learning rates.) See our ULMFiT paper for details (which is from 2018, but is still correct.)
