One fact I didn't appreciate when I was younger is that the "10,000 hour rule" is a joke. Like, 10k hours is less than 4 years of college + internships. It's new grad level. Not until 20k, 30k, 40k hours are you starting to get good. Like, I'm ~30k hours into machine learning…

Oh my gosh, it was so hard to keep this secret once we saw the numbers (beating GPT-3.5 and Grok with 36B active params!). Feels good man.

Introducing DBRX: A New Standard for Open LLM 🔔 databricks.com/blog/introduci… 💻 DBRX is a 16x 12B MoE LLM trained on 📜 12T tokens 🧠DBRX sets a new standard for open LLMs, outperforming established models on various benchmarks. Is this thread mostly written by DBRX? Yes! 🧵
Why does AdamW outperform Adam with L2-regularization? Its effectiveness seems to stem from how it affects the angular update size of weight vectors! This may also be the case for Weight Standardization, lr warmup and weight decay in general! 🧵 for arxiv.org/abs/2305.17212 1/10

I know this is an AMD commercial, but I am so happy to see @abhi_venigalla getting airtime. The man should be a top 5 name in LLMs, but just quietly does his job making @MosaicML successful instead of seeking attention.

A fantastic post on large-scale infra pain. If you've wondered why MosaicML was a unicorn, it's this. tl;dr: Every cluster and every PyTorch library is its own unique, broken, unstable snowflake. Everything is hard at scale. Nothing "just works." We get paid to abstract this…

speaking of mosaic/databricks, i’ve ported so much code to versions of composer/streaming. it’s just so good.
It’s finally here 🎉🥳 In case you missed us, MosaicML/ Databricks is back at it, with a new best in class open weight LLM named DBRX. An MoE with 132B total parameters and 32B active 32k context length and trained for 12T tokens 🤯
4-bit quantized DBRX runs nicely in MLX on an M2 Ultra. PR: github.com/ml-explore/mlx…
Meet #DBRX: a general-purpose LLM that sets a new standard for efficient open source models. Use the DBRX model in your RAG apps or use the DBRX design to build your own custom LLMs and improve the quality of your GenAI applications. dbricks.co/43xaCMj
DBRX dropped less than 5 hrs ago.... the pace of the open community is incredible
4-bit quantized DBRX runs nicely in MLX on an M2 Ultra. PR: github.com/ml-explore/mlx…
Meet DBRX, a new sota open llm from @databricks. It's a 132B MoE with 36B active params trained from scratch on 12T tokens. It sets a new bar on all the standard benchmarks, and - as an MoE - inference is blazingly fast. Simply put, it's the model your data has been waiting for.

And that company probably can't go to huggingface and download a domain-specific model that works for its data. They need to train their own.
Underappreciated: The entire public internet is maybe a few hundred terabytes of text. This is not that big. Many organizations have *petabytes* of domain-specific data. CERN can generate a petabyte per second (information-technology.web.cern.ch/sites/default/…).
🧵Let me explain why the early ascent phenomenon occurs🔥 We must first understand that in-context learning exhibits two distinct modes. When given samples from a novel task, the model actually learns the pattern from the examples. We call this mode the "task learning" mode.
@BeidiChen Cool work! A nitpick - could you include tokens/s instead of just "relative speedup" in Table 4? I'm sure we're all aware there are bad baselines available, so not having a raw tokens/s measurement makes it quite difficult to evaluate the performance offhand.
A surprising finding: a larger number of LLM calls can incur worse performance of compound AI systems! Why and what is the desired number of LLM calls? We initialize the study of scaling properties of compound AI systems both theoretically and empirically: arxiv.org/pdf/2403.02419…

"Less (tuning) is more for alignment" is an intriguing hypothesis. Is alignment tuning really that “superficial”⁉️ 🤔 If so, how so? 🤔 Can any straightforward analysis explain this? 🤔 What if I tell you “no tuning can also be great for alignment”? 🫢 😉 If you’re interested in…
Q* from OpenAI and tree-of-thought reasoning triggered a lot of enthusiasm on augmenting LLMs' reasoning/planning capabilities with search. But is search really the panacea for LLMs? Answer from our new study @osunlp: Not quite yet. TLDR: For advanced planning methods like tree…
LLM planning methods, such as tree search, are critical for complex problem solving, but their practical utility can depend on the discriminator used with them. Check out our new findings: arxiv.org/abs/2402.10890 (1/6)
