We wanted to demystify the “systems view” of LLMs and wrote a little textbook called “How To Scale Your Model” which we’re releasing today. 1/n 39429

Reposted by Yiğit DemirağJonathan Cornford @repromancer.bsky.social · 28/10/2024Why does #compneuro need new learning methods? ANN models are usually trained with Gradient Descent (GD), which violates biological realities like Dale’s law and log-normal weights. Here we describe a superior learning algorithm for comp neuro: Exponentiated Gradients (EG)! 1/12 #neuroscience 🧪 47323

Yiğit Demirağ @yigit.ai · 04/05/2023Quite a candy for my optimization appetite :) As majority of inference are still on CPUs on mobile/edge accelerators, Mojo will be interesting to watch closely. I wonder how well it will support Triton or CUDA youtu.be/6GvB5lZJqcEyoutu.be 000
