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.

Maxtext: A simple, performant and scalable Jax LLM
Is t5x an encoder/decoder architecture?
Some more general options.
The Flax ecosystem
https://github.com/google/flax?tab=readme-ov-file
or dm-haiku
https://github.com/google-deepmind/dm-haiku
were some of the best developed communities in the Jax AI field
Perhaps the “trax” repo? https://github.com/google/trax
Some HF examples https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/exampl...
Sadly it seems much of the work is proprietary these days, but one example could be Grok-1, if you customize the details. https://github.com/xai-org/grok-1/blob/main/run.py

Lossless Acceleration of LLM via Adaptive N-Gram Parallel Decoding
The HuggingFace transformers library already has support for a similar method called prompt lookup decoding that uses the existing context to generate an ngram model: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/27722
I don't think it would be that hard to switch it out for a pretrained ngram model.

AI enthusiasm #6 - Finetune any LLM you want💡
Most of this tutorial is based on Hugging Face course about Transformers and on Niels Rogge's Transformers tutorials: make sure to check their work and give them a star on GitHub, if you please ❤️

Schedule-Free Learning – A New Way to Train
* Superconvergence + LR range finder + Fast AI's Ranger21 optimizer was the goto optimizer for CNNs, and worked fabulously well, but on transformers, the learning rate range finder sadi 1e-3 was the best, whilst 1e-5 was better. However, the 1 cycle learning rate stuck. https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/16013

Gemma doesn't suck anymore – 8 bug fixes
Thanks! :) I'm pushing them into transformers, pytorch-gemma and collabing with the Gemma team to resolve all the issues :)
The RoPE fix should already be in transformers 4.38.2: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/29285
My main PR for transformers which fixes most of the issues (some still left): https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/29402
- HuggingFace Transformers: Qwen2
- HuggingFace Transformers Release v4.36: Mixtral, Llava/BakLlava, SeamlessM4T v2

Paris-Based Startup and OpenAI Competitor Mistral AI Valued at $2B
If you want to tinker with the architecture Hugging Face has a FOSS implementation in transformers: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/src/tr...
If you want to reproduce the training pipeline, you couldn't do that even if you wanted to because you don't have access to thousands of A100s.

Fail to reproduce the same evaluation metrics score during inference.
I am aware that using mixed precision reduces the stability of weight and there will be little consistency but don't expect it to be this much. I have attached the graph of evaluation metrics. If someone can give me some insight into this issue, that would be great.

Bootstrap or VC?
Bootstrapping only works if you have the runway to do it and you don't feel the need to grow fast.
With NeuML (https://neuml.com), I've went the bootstrapping route. I've been able to build a fairly successful open source project (txtai 6K stars https://github.com/neuml/txtai) and a revenue positive company. It's a "live within your means" strategy.
VC funding can have a snowball effect where you need more and more. Then you're in the loop of needing funding rounds to survive. The hope is someday you're acquired or start turning a profit.
I would say both have their pros and cons. Not all ideas have the luxury of time.

Ask HN: What happened to startups, why is everything so polished?
I agree that in many cases people are puffing their feathers to try to be something they're not (at least not yet). Some believe in the fake it until you make it mentality.
With NeuML (https://neuml.com), the website is a simple HTML page. On social media, I'm honest about what NeuML is, that I'm in my 40s with a family and not striving to be the next Steve Jobs. I've been able to build a fairly successful open source project (txtai 6K stars https://github.com/neuml/txtai) and a revenue positive company. For me, authenticity and being genuine is most important. I would say that being genuine has been way more of an asset than liability.

Are we at peak vector database?
I'll add txtai (https://github.com/neuml/txtai) to the list.
There is still plenty of room for innovation in this space. Just need to focus on the right projects that are innovating and not the ones (re)working on problems solved in 2020/2021.

Show HN: Open-source Rule-based PDF parser for RAG
Nice project! I've long used Tika for document parsing given it's maturity and wide number of formats supported. The XHTML output helps with chunking documents for RAG.
Here's a couple examples:
