minGPT VS gpt-2

Next, some foundational textbooks for general ML and deep learning:

Language Model novice here. I was going through the README section of minGPT and read this line.

The first network displayed with working weights is a tiny such network, which sorts a small list of the letters A, B, and C. This is the demo example model from Andrej Karpathy's minGPT implementation.

Tried it once. Its promise is to take the dataset's seasonal trend into account, which makes sense for Facebook's original use case.

We ran it on such a dataset and found out that directly using https://github.com/karpathy/minGPT consistently gives a better result. So we ended up using the output of Prophet as an input feature to a neural network, but the result was not improved in any significant way.

Sure, im trying to regenerate a bunch of complex numbers based on their absolute value. So im trying to embed these absolute values and then using gpt model(probably mini gpt) try to recover the original comples numbers. There is a certain connection between these complex numbers and their order which im not capable of explaining yet. Im hoping the model would be capable of recognizing certain sequences of these absolute values and match them with the desired complex counterparts (by training the model).

Check out minGPT and nanoGPT from Karpathy, he puts out some of the best machine learning tutorials and teaching content.

Medium models: Roughly between 1B to 10B parameters. This is where Mistral 7B, Phi-3, Gemma from Google DeepMind, and wizardlm2 sit. Fun fact: GPT 2 was a medium sized model, much smaller than its latest versions.

"Our model, called GPT-2 (a successor to GPT), was trained simply to predict the next word in 40GB of Internet text. Due to our concerns about malicious applications of the technology, we are not releasing the trained model. As an experiment in responsible disclosure, we are instead releasing a much smaller model for researchers to experiment with, as well as a technical paper. "

They did release GPT-2 under the MIT License.

Did you arrive at this certainty through reading something other than what OpenAI has published? The document [0] that describes the training data for GPT-2 makes this assertion hilarious to me.
