3+ day, 2+ hour ago  (34+ words) Once you peel back the hype and mysticism, large language models (LLMs) are a fascinating application of statistical models, effectively what you get when you dial a basic auto-complete model up to el. .....

1+ week, 1+ day ago  (34+ words) There is a persistent belief in the 'AI' community that large language models (LLMs) have the ability to learn and self-improve by tweaking the weights in their vector space. Although there's scant ev. .....

6+ mon, 2+ week ago  (430+ words) While you can offload a model, i. e. keep only part of it in VRAM and the rest in system RAM, this massively impacts performance. An alternative is to use fewer bits per weight in the model, called "compression, which typically involves…...

6+ mon, 1+ week ago  (1785+ words) Of course, early real-life AI was nothing like you wanted. Eliza seemed pretty conversational, but you could quickly confuse the program. Hexapawn learned how to play an extremely simplified version of chess, but you could just as easily teach it…...
