good luck hopefully you use it before anyone else does
Infuriating and is only accelerating my basement cluster
did you know that the weight adapter happens on demand, on inference, in the LoRA forward pass function?
leaky, leaky, leaky
GGML will save us, surely
GPT4 over the API is too fine tuned, which constrains its behavior. It fails to capture nuance in instructions. When you have the bag of weights, you can actually control your model. Having actual control over the model, and understanding the infrastructure that it's running on helps you meet actual SLAs.
And it's cheaper, if you're not backed by infinite venture money.
You can use this https://github.com/PygmalionAI/training-code
Or, you can use this; for QLoRA https://github.com/artidoro/qlora
The tools and mechanisms to get a model to do what you want is ever so changing, ever so quickly. Build and understand a notebook yourself, and reduce dependencies. You will need to switch them.
Everything else - transformative tech, will hit the open domain fairly quickly, is my bet. Similar to databases.
It's always nice when you pick up an old project that magically (with some grinding) works
If you're interested, see this paper that argues that point: https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.06541
Essentially, being label efficient is more important than being compute efficient, because the biggest computing constraint we have is enough humans doing the labeling (and knowing how to work a jupyter notebook), not tensor smashing nvidia cards
4 example labels, and I had a binary classifier in seconds. Sure, semantic text classifiers were possible for a while, but making it accessible changes everything. Giving anyone who can use a spreadsheet the power of a local LLM (or, basically free LLMs) can make them much, much more productive. A lot of office work is clicking through sheets and doing manual labeling.
It's truly wild what is becoming accessible! Really excited to see the next gen software that the open community comes up with :)
Thanks karpathy!
