One of the exercises is 'mcq' - multiple choice questions. I've dabbled a bit, but not thought of formally putting that in, funnily enough?

It has different 'exercise' types - memorisation (ie: just loading data into the model, from what I gather), writing, maths ('arithmetic'), data retrieval. It's interesting, but I think a lot of it would require HUGE amounts of cleanup/reformat, so I'm not gonna be using it. I also don't want […]

So, apparently there's an 80 billion token syntethic dataset (called SYNTH) that's good to be picked up. 260 gb or so. That's... a lot.

One of the things that's been humming along in my brain, lately, is: I got into AI stuff to do certain things (as well as the vague 'yeah, robot friend' stuff) I've been able to do those certain things for a while now, but... I'm not quite doing them. Instead, it's 'let's finess the pipeline […]

@MachineLordZero The most hostile part to me, is their 'dark mode' is mostly lighter panels and a little dark panel on the side (which is a waste) This is in no way, shape or form 'dark'
