    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

    and the implementation https://github.com/google/trax/blob/master/trax/models/resea... if you are interested.

    Hope you get to look into this!

    Thank you for developing the pipeline and amassing considerable compute for gathering and preprocessing this dataset!

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about this, but could you consider training an LLM using a more advanced, sparse transformer architecture (specifically, "Terraformer" from this paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.12763 and this codebase https://github.com/google/trax/blob/master/trax/models/resea... by Google Brain and OpenAI)? I understand the pressure to focus on training a straightforward LLaMA replication, but of course you see that it's a legacy dense architecture which limits its inference performance. This new architecture is not just an academic curiosity but is already validated at scale by Google, providing 10x+ inference performance boost on the same hardware.

    Frankly, the community's compute budget - for training and for inference - isn't infinite, and neither is the public's interest in models that do not have advantage (at least in convenience) over closed-source ones; and so we should utilize both those resources as efficiently as possible. It could be a big step forward if you trained at least LLaMA-Terraformer-7B and 13B foundation models on the whole dataset.

    Training language models is expensive. Train the biggest model you can afford. I assume you've tried the colab from the reformer GitHub: https://github.com/google/trax/tree/master/trax/models/reformer
