Just wrapped up a deep dive into the latest lecture on building LLMs, such as ChatGPT, from @Stanford CS229 course. Here are my top takeaways:
๐ Understanding the Components: LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and others are more than just neural networks; they are a complex blend of architecture, training loss, data evaluation, and systems. Knowing how these components work together is key to improving and scaling these models.
๐ Scaling Matters: Performance improves predictably with more data, bigger models, and greater computational power. However, balancing these factors is crucial to avoid overfitting and resource waste.
๐ Data is King: LLMs are trained on trillions of tokens scraped from the internet, but the quality of this data matters immensely. Rigorous filtering and deduplication processes are essential to maintaining data integrity.
๐ Pre-Training vs. Post-Training: While pre-training equips the model with general knowledge, post-training (like RLHF) fine-tunes it to follow human-like responses, reducing toxic outputs and improving alignment with human values.
๐ Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF): This technique allows LLMs to maximize outputs that align with human preferences, making models more reliable and accurate.
๐ก Why It Matters: Understanding these processes not only helps us appreciate the complexity behind our everyday AI tools but also highlights the challenges and opportunities in the ever-evolving field of AI.
Whether youโre in tech, data science, or just AI-curious, staying updated on these advancements is crucial. LLMs are not just transforming industries; theyโre redefining the future of human-computer interaction!
I just realized this was almost 2 hours long...

FACEBOOK owner Meta Platforms plans to start incorporating social media content from Europe to train its generative artificial intelligence models, the company said on Monday (Jun 10).
Meta will train its Llama large language models using content that people in the European Union have chosen to share publicly on its platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, it said in a blog post.
The shift appears to bring the companyโs approach in Europe roughly in line with how it treats the data it feeds into its AI models from elsewhere around the world, despite earlier caution due to stringent EU privacy and transparency regulations.
Metaโs top policy executive told Reuters in an interview in September that it uses public Facebook and Instagram posts to train its Llama models, while excluding private posts and messages shared only with friends.
As of April, when the company started releasing the latest versions of Llama, Meta was โstill working on the right way to do this in Europe,โ its chief product officer told Reuters at the time.
The social media giant said last month that it would start notifying Facebook and Instagram users in the European region and the United Kingdom about how it uses public information shared on Metaโs services to develop and improve AI.https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/telcos-media-tech/meta-platforms-use-social-media-posts-europe-train-ai

Chinese and US scientists create AI model to help develop new drugs
Victoria Bela
Published: 6:30pm, 26 Aug 2024
Scientists in China and the United States say they have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that could help overcome some major challenges to drug development and discovery.
The model, called ActFound, outperforms competing models while bypassing challenges to using machine learning in bioactivity prediction, according to a paper published in Nature Machine Intelligence.
โBioactivity encompasses various properties of compounds, such as their interaction with targets, impact on biological systems and therapeutic effects,โ said the researchers from Peking University, the University of Washington and AI tech firm INF Technology Shanghai.
The main challenges to using machine learning include limited data labelling and incompatibility between assays, the tests that measure the activity or potency of drugs.
The model not only outperforms competing AI models, but also functions as well as free-energy perturbation (FEP) โ a traditional computational method.
Although FEP calculations have a high level of accuracy, the team warned that they โrequire extensive computational resources that are often not affordable for large-scale applicationsโ.
Such methods often rely on hard-to-obtain, three-dimensional protein structures to run, which can only be obtained using expensive equipment and extensive laboratory procedures.

0904-NVIDIA Launches NIM Microservices for Generative AI in Japan, Taiwan
Nations around the world are pursuing sovereign AI to produce artificial intelligence using their own computing infrastructure, data, workforce and business networks to ensure AI systems align with local values, laws and interests.
In support of these efforts, NVIDIA today announced the availability of four new NVIDIA NIM microservices that enable developers to more easily build and deploy high-performing generative AI applications.
The microservices support popular community models tailored to meet regional needs. They enhance user interactions through accurate understanding and improved responses based on local languages and cultural heritage.
In the Asia-Pacific region alone, generative AI software revenue is expected to reach $48 billion by 2030 โ up from $5 billion this year, according to ABI Research.
Llama-3-Swallow-70B, trained on Japanese data, and Llama-3-Taiwan-70B, trained on Mandarin data, are regional language models that provide a deeper understanding of local laws, regulations and other customs.
The RakutenAI 7B family of models, built on Mistral-7B, were trained on English and Japanese datasets, and are available as two different NIM microservices for Chat and Instruct. Rakutenโs foundation and instruct models have achieved leading scores among open Japanese large language models, landing the top average score in the LM Evaluation Harness benchmark carried out from January to March 2024.
Training a large language model (LLM) on regional languages enhances the effectiveness of its outputs by ensuring more accurate and nuanced communication, as it better understands and reflects cultural and linguistic subtleties.
The models offer leading performance for Japanese and Mandarin language understanding, regional legal tasks, question-answering, and language translation and summarization compared with base LLMs like Llama 3.
Nations worldwide โ from Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, South Korea and Sweden to France, Italy and India โ are investing in sovereign AI infrastructure.
The new NIM microservices allow businesses, government agencies and universities to host native LLMs in their own environments, enabling developers to build advanced copilots, chatbots and AI assistants.https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/nim-microservices-generative-ai/

NEW Goldman, Nomura tap Meta Llama AI models
In the 18 months since launch, the mostly free open source Llama models have seen nearly 350 million downloads and been taken up several major firms, including in financial services.
In a progress report, Meta says that Goldman Sachs' GS AI Platform allows the bank's engineers to use Llama models for various use cases, including information extraction from documents.
Meanwhile, Nomura uses Llama on AWS to achieve faster innovation, transparency, bias guardrails, and performance across text summarisation, code generation, log analysis, and document processing.
Meta has ploughed billions of dollars into AI but is taking a different approach to rivals such as OpenAI with its open source model.
In a July letter, Mark Zuckerberg argued that open source AI is good for Meta because it prevents the firm getting locked into a competitor's closed ecosystem.
In addition, he, wrote: "The bottom line is that open source AI represents the worldโs best shot at harnessing this technology to create the greatest economic opportunity and security for everyone."https://www.finextra.com/newsarticle/44650/goldman-nomura-tap-meta-llama-ai-models

I started training a public LoRA style (2 seperate training each on 4x A6000).
Experimenting captions vs non-captions. So we will see which yields best results for style training on FLUX.
Generated captions with multi-GPU batch Joycaption app.
I am showing 5 examples of what Joycaption generates on FLUX dev. Left images are the original style images from the dataset.
I used my multi-GPU Joycaption APP (used 8x A6000 for ultra fast captioning) : https://www.patreon.com/posts/110613301
I used my Gradio batch caption editor to edit some words and add activation token as ohwx 3d render : https://www.patreon.com/posts/108992085
The no caption dataset uses only ohwx 3d render as caption
I am using my newest 4x_GPU_Rank_1_SLOW_Better_Quality.json on 4X A6000 GPU and train 500 epochs โ 114 images : https://www.patreon.com/posts/110879657
Total step count is being 500 * 114 / 4 (4x GPU โ batch size 1) = 14250
Taking 37 hours currently if I donโt terminate early
Will save a checkpoint once every 25 epochs
Full Windows Kohya LoRA training tutorial : https://youtu.be/nySGu12Y05k

Hopefully will share trained LoRA on Hugging Face and CivitAI along with full dataset including captions.
I got permission to share dataset but canโt be used commercially.
Also I will hopefully share full workflow in the CivitAI and Hugging Face LoRA pages.

Looking to fine-tune Language Models efficiently and save on computational resources?
One popular method is QLoRa, which quantizes the original model and trains low-rank adapters on top.
It's quite effective and uses less GPU than full fine-tuning.
However, QLoRa applies Low-Rank Adaptation uniformly across the entire model.
What if we could identify the most informative layers and only fine-tune those? ๐ค
This is exactly what Spectrum does! ๐
๐ฌ Spectrum analyzes the weight matrices for all layers in a Language Model and calculates a Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for each one.
(It uses Random Matrix Theory and Marchenko-Pastur distribution to distinguish signal from noise.)
๐ฏ Based on a chosen percentage (say, 25%), Spectrum selects the most informative layers of each type (mlp.down_proj, self_attn.o_proj, etc.).
You can then โ๏ธ freeze the rest of the model and focus your ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ training on the chosen layers.
๐ Results/Evaluation
- Spectrum is competitive with full fine-tuning and beats QLoRA on benchmarks.
- While QLoRA is more memory-efficient on a single GPU, Spectrum shines in distributed training setups.
- Great models trained with Spectrum: Dolphin models, Llama 3.1 Storm, numerous models by VAGO Solutions...

Selective fine-tuning of Language Models with Spectrum

The Forward-Forward Algorithm๐ค
FFA replaces the forward and backward passes in backpropagtion with two forward passes - one with positive (real) data and another with negative data. Each layer has its objective function - to increase or decrease a โgoodness" metric. The positive pass uses real data and adjusts weights to increase โgoodnessโ in every hidden layer. The negative pass does the opposite.
I must say reading&Implementing a godfather paper feels quite fulfilling:)
Thank you Prof. Geoffrey Hinton.

Is AIโs impact on elections being overblown? Three researchers think so in this opinion piece published in the MIT Tech Review.
Highlights:
โข โAI is being used to try to influence electoral processes, but these efforts have not been fruitful.โ
โข โWhy were these initial speculations about AI-enabled electoral interference so off (โฆ) ? The short answer: Because they ignored decades of research on the limited influence of mass persuasion campaigns, the complex determinants of voting behaviors, and the indirect and human-mediated causal role of technology.โ
โข โYet we should remember that thereโs a cost to overreaction based on ill-founded assumptions, especially when other critical issues go unaddressed.โ

Iโve just read a great paper where Cohere researchers raises significant questions about using Human feedback to evaluate AI language models.
Human feedback is often regarded as the gold standard for judging AI performance, but it turns out, it might be more like fool's gold : the study reveals that our human judgments are easily swayed by factors that have nothing to do with actual AI performance.

๐ช Confidence is key (even when it shouldn't be): More assertive AI responses are seen as more factual, even when they're not. This could be pushing AI development in the wrong direction, with systems like RLHF.
๐ญ The assertiveness trap: As AI responses get more confident-sounding, non-expert annotators become less likely to notice when they're wrong or inconsistent.

Hyperfast Contextual Custom LLM with Agents, Multitokens, Explainable AI, and Distillation https://mltblog.com/4dNPSnB
New additions to this ground-breaking system include multi-token distillation when processing prompts, agents to meet user intent, more NLP, and a command prompt menu accepting both standard prompts and various actions.
I also added several illustrations, featuring xLLM in action with a full session and sample commands to fine-tune in real-time. All the code, input sources (anonymized corporate corpus from fortune 100 company), contextual backend tables including embeddings, are on GitHub. My system has zero weight, no transformer, and no neural network. It relies on explainable AI, does not require training, is fully reproducible, and fits in memory. Yet your prompts can retrieve relevant full text entities from the corpus with no latency โ including URLs, categories, titles, email addresses, and so on โ thanks to well-designed architecture.

Zero-shot VQA evaluation of Docmatix using LLM - do we need to fine-tune?
While developing Docmatix, we found that fine-tuning Florence-2 performed well on the DocVQA task, but still scored low on the benchmark. To improve the benchmark score, we had to further fine-tune the model on the DocVQA dataset to learn the grammatical style of the benchmark. Interestingly, the human evaluators felt that the additional fine-tuning seemed to perform worse than fine-tuning on Docmatix alone, so we decided to only use the additional fine-tuned model for ablation experiments and publicly release the model fine-tuned on Docmatix alone. Although the answers generated by the model are semantically consistent with the reference answers (as shown in Figure 1), the benchmark scores are low. This raises the question: should we fine-tune the model to improve performance on existing metrics, or should we develop new metrics that are more consistent with human perception?
