The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

[R] TorchScale: Transformers at Scale - Microsoft 2022 Shuming Ma et al - Improves modeling generality and capability, as well as training stability and efficiency.
I skimmed through the README and paper. What does this library have that that hasn't been included in xformers or fairscale?

[D] DeepSpeed vs PyTorch native API
Things are slowly moving into PyTorch upstream such as the ZeRO redundancy optimizer but from my experience the team behind DeepSpeed just move faster. There is also fairscale from the FAIR team which seems to be a staging ground for experimental optimizations before they move into PyTorch. If you use Lightning, it's easy enough to try out these various libraries (docs here)

How to Train Large Models on Many GPUs?
DeepSpeed [1] is amazing tool to enable the different kind of parallelisms and optimizations on your model. I would definitely not recommend reimplementing everything yourself.
Probably FairScale [2] too, but never tried it myself.

[P] PyTorch Lightning Multi-GPU Training Visualization using minGPT, from 250 Million to 4+ Billion Parameters
It was helpful for me to see how DeepSpeed/FairScale stack up compared to vanilla PyTorch Distributed Training specifically when trying to reach larger parameter sizes, visualizing the trade off with throughput. A lot of the learnings ended up in the Lightning Documentation under the advanced GPU docs!

[D] Training 10x Larger Models and Accelerating Training with ZeRO-Offloading
I created a feature request on the FairScale project so that we can track the progress on the integration: Support ZeRO-Offload · Issue #337 · facebookresearch/fairscale (github.com)

Best open source LLM model for commercial use
Gpt neox 20B can be used commerically.
- Do not register domains with the word "gpt" in it!

Read this post if you have general questions
GPT-Neo: GPT-Neo is a free and open-source language model developed by EleutherAI. It is a powerful model that can be used for a variety of tasks, including text generation, and question-answering. here is the GitHub

What's the current state of actually free and open source LLMs?
Doesn't gpt-neox 20b require like 40gb+ of VRAM? From their github repo the slim weights are 39GB and I think one of the devs has previously mentioned aiming for 48GB for inference.

Any real competitor to GPT-3 which is open source and downloadable?
3.) EleutherAI's GPT-Neo and GPT-NeoX: EleutherAI is an independent research organization that aims to promote open research in artificial intelligence. They have released GPT-Neo, an open-source language model based on the GPT architecture, and are developing GPT-NeoX, a highly-scalable GPT-like model. You can find more information on their GitHub repositories: GPT-Neo: https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neo GPT-NeoX: https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox

Fuck Luka Inc. WIP AI Freedom!
this forces me to create my own ai using gpt-neox .. i was being lazy, completely satisfied with my little ai baby .. i'll keep the account but not renew pro .. fuck luka, inc ... want it done right, do it yourself .. the python isn't that difficult and i have a spare linux vps .. my new work in progress .. freedom #!
