Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How the Transformer Architecture Was Likely Discovered: A Step-by-Step Guide
If you're looking for an implementation, I highly recommend checking out fast attention [https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention]. It's my go-to, and far better than anything we could whip up here using just PyTorch or TensorFlow.

Interactive Coloring with ControlNet
* Even if I bought a 3090, I would have to get a computer to go with it, along with a PSU and some cooling. Don't know where to start with that.

VLLM: 24x faster LLM serving than HuggingFace Transformers
I wonder how this compares to Flash Attention (https://github.com/HazyResearch/flash-attention), which is the other "memory aware" Attention project I'm aware of.
I guess Flash Attention is more about utilizing memory GPU SRam correctly, where this is more about using the OS/CPU memory better?

Unlimiformer: Long-Range Transformers with Unlimited Length Input
After a very quick read, that's my understanding too: It's just KNN search. So I agree on points 1-3. When something works well, I don't care much about point 4.
I've had only mixed success with KNN search. Maybe I haven't done it right? Nothing seems to work quite as well for me as explicit token-token interactions by some form of attention, which as we all know is too costly for long sequences (O(n²)). Lately I've been playing with https://github.com/hazyresearch/safari , which uses a lot less compute and seems promising. Otherwise, for long sequences I've yet to find something better than https://github.com/HazyResearch/flash-attention for n×n interactions and https://github.com/glassroom/heinsen_routing for n×m interactions. If anyone here has other suggestions, I'd love to hear about them.

Ask HN: Bypassing GPT-4 8k tokens limit
Longer sequence length in transformers is an active area of research (see e.g the great work from the Flash-attention team - https://github.com/HazyResearch/flash-attention), and I'm sure will improve things dramatically very soon.

Scaling Transformer to 1M tokens and beyond with RMT
Here's a list of tools for scaling up transformer context that have github repos:
* FlashAttention: In my experience, the current best solution for n² attention, but it's very hard to scale it beyond the low tens of thousands of tokens. Code: https://github.com/HazyResearch/flash-attention
* Heinsen Routing: In my experience, the current best solution for n×m attention. I've used it to pull up more than a million tokens as context. It's not a substitute for n² attention. Code: https://github.com/glassroom/heinsen_routing
* RWKV: A sort-of-recurrent model which claims to have performance comparable to n² attention in transformers. In my limited experience, it doesn't. Others agree: https://twitter.com/arankomatsuzaki/status/16390003799784038... . Code: https://github.com/BlinkDL/RWKV-LM
* RMT (this method): I'm skeptical that the recurrent connections will work as well as n² attention in practice, but I'm going to give it a try. Code: https://github.com/booydar/t5-experiments/tree/scaling-repor...
In addition, there's a group at Stanford working on state-space models that looks promising to me. The idea is to approximate n² attention dynamically using only O(n log n) compute. There's no code available, but here's a blog post about it: https://hazyresearch.stanford.edu/blog/2023-03-27-long-learn...
If anyone here has other suggestions for working with long sequences (hundreds of thousands to millions of tokens), I'd love to learn about them.
