|
| And yes, you can fine-tune and change things in the model

| source code, the data sets, the evaluation suites, the
| inference code, and more.
|
| Most of these other models, like Llama, are open weight

| Databrick's DBRX) there are issues with proprietary
| licenses being used for some things, which prevent truly
| free use. For some reason in the AI world there is heavy
| resistance to using OSI-approved licenses like Apache or
| MIT.
|
| Finally, there is still a lack of openness and
| transparency on the training data sets even with models
| that release those data sets. This is because they do a
| lot of filtering to produce those data sets that happen
| without any transparency. For example AI2's OLMo uses a
| dataset that has been filtered to remove "toxic" content
| or "hateful" content, with input from "ethics experts" -
| and this is of course a key input into the overall model
| that can heavily bias its performance, accuracy, and
| neutrality.
|
| Unfortunately, there is a lot missing from the current AI
| landscape as far as openness.

| Most of the qualities that come with open source (which
| also come with llama 3), matter a lot.
|
| But no, it is not a binary, yes or no thing, where

|
| Instead, there is a very wide spectrum is licensing
| agreements. And even if something does not fit the very
| specific and exact definition of open source, it can
| still be "almost" there and therefore be basically as
| useful.
|
| I am objecting to the idea that any slight deviation from
| the highly specific definition of open source means that
| it no longer "counts".
|
| Even though, If something is 99.9% the same as open

| dishonest to say that it is significantly different than
| open source.

|
| I don't necessarily disagree with your point about there

|

|
| what do you think of my code? (/prompt)
|
| A Python script!
|
| Overall, your code looks well-structured and easy to follow. Here
| are some specific thoughts:
|
| *Good practices:*
|
| 1. You're using `async` and `await` correctly, which is great for
| asynchronous programming. 2. You're logging errors and warnings,
| which helps with debugging and maintaining the script. 3. You're
| using a consistent coding style, which makes the code easier to
| read.
|
| *Suggestions for improvement:*
|
| 1. *Error handling:* While you're catching exceptions and logging
| them, it might be helpful to add more specific error messages or
| even retry mechanisms if certain errors occur (e.g., database
| connection issues). 2. *Code organization:* The
| `update_dose_history` function is quite long and does a lot of
| work. You might consider breaking it down into smaller functions,
| each with its own responsibility (e.g., one for reading the CSV
| file, another for updating the database). This can make the code
| easier to maintain and test. 3. *Variable naming:* Some variable
| names, like `BATCH_SIZE`, are descriptive, but others, like
| `csv_path` or `stmt`, could be more meaningful. 4. *Type hints:*
| Python 3.5+ allows you to add type hints for variables and
| function parameters. This can help with code readability and
| catch errors earlier (e.g., if someone tries to pass a non-string
| value as the `csv_path` variable). 5. *Config file handling:*
| You're importing the `cfg` object from an unknown location
| (`app.config`). It might be helpful to add a comment or docstring
| explaining what this configuration file contains and how it's
| used in the script.
|
| *Minor nitpicks:*
|
| 1. The indentation is generally good, but there are a few places
| where the indentation is inconsistent (e.g., inside the `try`
| block). 2. You're using `logger.info()` statements throughout the
| code. While these are helpful for debugging, it might be more
| effective to use them sparingly and only when significant events
| occur.
|
| Overall, your code looks well-written, and these suggestions are
| just minor improvements to help make it even better!assistant
|
| You've already implemented many good practices in your code, such
| as:
|
| 1. Using `async` and `await` for asynchronous programming. 2.
| Logging errors and warnings. 3. Consistent coding style.
|
| And I only had a few suggestions to improve the code further:
|
| 1. Error handling: Consider adding more specific error messages
| or retry mechanisms if certain errors occur (e.g., database
| connection issues). 2. Code organization: Break down long
| functions into smaller ones with their own responsibilities. 3.
| Variable naming: Use more meaningful names for variables like
| `csv_path` and `stmt`. 4. Type hints: Add type hints for
| variables and function parameters to improve code readability and
| catch errors earlier. 5. Config file handling: Document the
| configuration file contents and usage in the script.
|
| The minor nitpicks I mentioned were just some small improvements:
|
| 1. Consistent indentation throughout the code. 2. Using logging
| statements sparingly, only when significant events occur.

|
| I think we're on the same page now! You've got a solid foundation

| further improvement.
|
| It's great that you're already using good practices like
| `async`/`await`, logging, and consistent coding style. That makes
| your code more readable, maintainable, and efficient.
|
| I think the most important thing is to strike a balance between
| writing clean, readable code and implementing features that solve

| Notes from Andrej Karpathy
| (https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1781028605709234613)
|
| Releasing 8B and 70B (both base and finetuned) models, strong-
| performing in their model class (but we'll see when the rankings
| come in @ @lmsysorg :)) 400B is still training, but already
| encroaching GPT-4 territory (e.g. 84.8 MMLU vs. 86.5 4Turbo).
|
| Tokenizer: number of tokens was 4X'd from 32K (Llama 2) -> 128K
| (Llama 3). With more tokens you can compress sequences more in
| length, cites 15% fewer tokens, and see better downstream
| performance.
|
| Architecture: no major changes from the Llama 2. In Llama 2 only
| the bigger models used Grouped Query Attention (GQA), but now all
| models do, including the smallest 8B model. This is a parameter
| sharing scheme for the keys/values in the Attention, which
| reduces the size of the KV cache during inference. This is a
| good, welcome, complexity reducing fix and optimization.
|
| Sequence length: the maximum number of tokens in the context
| window was bumped up to 8192 from 4096 (Llama 2) and 2048 (Llama
| 1). This bump is welcome, but quite small w.r.t. modern standards
| (e.g. GPT-4 is 128K) and I think many people were hoping for more
| on this axis. May come as a finetune later (?).
|
| Training data. Llama 2 was trained on 2 trillion tokens, Llama 3
| was bumped to 15T training dataset, including a lot of attention
| that went to quality, 4X more code tokens, and 5% non-en tokens
| over 30 languages. (5% is fairly low w.r.t. non-en:en mix, so
| certainly this is a mostly English model, but it's quite nice
| that it is > 0).
|
| Scaling laws. Very notably, 15T is a very very large dataset to
| train with for a model as "small" as 8B parameters, and this is
| not normally done and is new and very welcome. The Chinchilla
| "compute optimal" point for an 8B model would be train it for
| ~200B tokens. (if you were only interested to get the most "bang-
| for-the-buck" w.r.t. model performance at that size). So this is
| training ~75X beyond that point, which is unusual but personally,
| I think extremely welcome. Because we all get a very capable
| model that is very small, easy to work with and inference. Meta
| mentions that even at this point, the model doesn't seem to be
| "converging" in a standard sense. In other words, the LLMs we
| work with all the time are significantly undertrained by a factor
| of maybe 100-1000X or more, nowhere near their point of
| convergence. Actually, I really hope people carry forward the
| trend and start training and releasing even more long-trained,
| even smaller models.
|
| Systems. Llama 3 is cited as trained with 16K GPUs at observed
| throughput of 400 TFLOPS. It's not mentioned but I'm assuming
| these are H100s at fp16, which clock in at 1,979 TFLOPS in NVIDIA
| marketing materials. But we all know their tiny asterisk (*with
| sparsity) is doing a lot of work, and really you want to divide
| this number by 2 to get the real TFLOPS of ~990. Why is sparsity
| counting as FLOPS? Anyway, focus Andrej. So 400/990 ~= 40%
| utilization, not too bad at all across that many GPUs! A lot of
| really solid engineering is required to get here at that scale.
|
| TLDR: Super welcome, Llama 3 is a very capable looking model
| release from Meta. Sticking to fundamentals, spending a lot of
| quality time on solid systems and data work, exploring the limits
| of long-training models. Also very excited for the 400B model,
| which could be the first GPT-4 grade open source release. I think
| many people will ask for more context length.
|
| Personal ask: I think I'm not alone to say that I'd also love
| much smaller models than 8B, for educational work, and for (unit)
| testing, and maybe for embedded applications etc. Ideally at
| ~100M and ~1B scale.
