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.

- Show HN: Finetune LLaMA-7B on commodity GPUs using your own text

Visual ChatGPT
I can't edit my comment now, but it's 30B that needs 18GB of VRAM.
LLaMA-13B, GPT-3 175B level, only needs 10GB of VRAM with the GPTQ 4bit quantization.
>do you think there's anything left to trim? like weight pruning, or LoRA, or I dunno, some kind of Huffman coding scheme that lets you mix 4-bit, 2-bit and 1-bit quantizations?
Absolutely. The GPTQ paper claims negligible output quality loss with 3-bit quantization. The GPTQ-for-LLaMA repo supports 3-bit quantization and inference. So this extra 25% savings is already possible.
As of right GPTQ-for-LLaMA is using a VRAM hungry attention method. Flash attention will reduce the requirements for 7B to 4GB and possibly fit 30B with a 2048 context window into 16GB, all before stacking 3-bit.
Pruning is a possibility but I'm not aware of anyone working on it yet.
LoRa has already been implemented. See https://github.com/zphang/minimal-llama#peft-fine-tuning-wit...

Training great LLMs from ground zero in the wilderness as a startup
This is a super important issue that affects the pace and breadth of iteration of AI almost as much as the raw hardware improvements do. The blog is fun but somewhat shallow and not technical or very surprising if you’ve worked with clusters of GPUs in any capacity over the years. (I liked the perspective of a former googler, but I’m not sure why past colleagues would recommend Jax over pytorch for LLMs outside of Google.) I hope this newco eventually releases a more technical report about their training adventures, like the PDF file here: https://github.com/facebookresearch/metaseq/tree/main/projec...

See the pitch memo that raised €105M for four-week-old startup Mistral
The number of people who can actually pre-train a true LLM is very small.
It remains a major feat with many tweaks and tricks. Case in point: the 114 pages of OPT175B logbook [1]

Elon Musk Buys Ten Thousand GPUs for Secretive AI Project
Reliability at scale: take a look at the OPT training log book for their 175B model run. It needed a lot of babysitting. In my experience, that scale of TPU training run requires a restart about once every 1-2 weeks—and they provide the middleware to monitor the health of the cluster and pick up on hardware failures.

Is AI Development more fun than Software Development?
I really appreciated this log of Facebook training a large language model of how troublesome AI development can be: https://github.com/facebookresearch/metaseq/tree/main/projects/OPT/chronicles

Stable Diffusion will run on any decent gaming GPU or a modern MacBook, meanwhile LLMs comparable to GPT-3/ChatGPT have had pretty insane memory requirements - e.g., <https://github.com/facebookresearch/metaseq/issues/146>
