  1. Квадриллион параметров (1Q) для LLM. Когда нам ждать такую модель?

    Согласно закону заголовков Беттериджа , который утверждает: «Если заголовок заканчивается вопросительным знаком, на него можно ответить „нет“», ответом на вопрос в заголовке будет „никогда“. И я попытаюсь вас в этом убедить.

  8. Firefox irritations

    The sponsored links enabled on the homescreen by default irritated me some odd days ago. I saw them when I checked a installation on a new Android installation, where I had disabled them, and was also very aware that I had only  patched the Android versions accross all mobile, and X86 elf versions across desktop devices.
    It was a deliberate design choice to reset certain settings, by the Firefox programmers.
    They had also reset ffox DNS feature, parameters, which make no sense, since my ISP DNS is the closest and all my traffic is encrypted anyway

    All those devices had that particular parameter reset {including some local LLM features}

    I'm willing to bet that something similar also happened on BSD machines

    I had to put the disclaimer for the language I used in that particular toot ;)

    It is unfortunate that the forks also seem to get similar problems, just due to the sheer volume of changes that a massive project like Firefox brings with it.

    I've said this decade ago and I repeat it

    One person cannot write a massive undertaking which is called a browser but in reality is a whole operating system which should be in a sandbox

    I would argue that they shouldnt boast with having used/integrated #qualitativeData though, it is a parameter learned from (in most cases) textual data.

  13. LLMs contain a LOT of parameters. But what’s a parameter? – MIT Technology Review

    LLMs contain a LOT of parameters. But what’s a parameter?

    They’re the mysterious numbers that make your favorite AI models tick. What are they and what do they do?

    MIT Technology Review Explains: Let our writers untangle the complex, messy world of technology to help you understand what’s coming next. You can read more from the series here.

    I am writing this because one of my editors woke up in the middle of the night and scribbled on a bedside notepad: “What is a parameter?” Unlike a lot of thoughts that hit at 4 a.m., it’s a really good question—one that goes right to the heart of how large language models work. And I’m not just saying that because he’s my boss. (Hi, Boss!)

    A large language model’s parameters are often said to be the dials and levers that control how it behaves. Think of a planet-size pinball machine that sends its balls pinging from one end to the other via billions of paddles and bumpers set just so. Tweak those settings and the balls will behave in a different way.  

    OpenAI’s GPT-3, released in 2020, had 175 billion parameters. Google DeepMind’s latest LLM, Gemini 3, may have at least a trillion—some think it’s probably more like 7 trillion—but the company isn’t saying. (With competition now fierce, AI firms no longer share information about how their models are built.)

    But the basics of what parameters are and how they make LLMs do the remarkable things that they do are the same across different models. Ever wondered what makes an LLM really tick—what’s behind the colorful pinball-machine metaphors? Let’s dive in.  

    What is a parameter?

    Think back to middle school algebra, like 2a + b. Those letters are parameters: Assign them values and you get a result. In math or coding, parameters are used to set limits or determine output. The parameters inside LLMs work in a similar way, just on a mind-boggling scale. 

    Editor’s Note: Read the rest of the story, at the below link.

    This is an actually good article about #AI #energy use, and it's affect on #carbon, and #ClimateChange.

    Here are some key things I would add.

    All of these #corporations like #OpenAI #Microsoft and #Google are relying on an #LLM being accessed from the #cloud (the #internet).

    #NVIDIA is counting on every increasingly big models.

    Do I think this is the future of #generativeai

    No.

    I think _that_ is a big #Bubble. I think every "Size Up" on an AI model gives you an extra 20% in quality.

    So, running a LLAMA 8b is only 20% better than running a LLAMA 3b.

    Right?

    So what?

    Well, 99% of the usecase people have don't require 1 Trillion #parameter models.

    They require models that increasingly can be run locally.

    What do I think is coming? It isn't 30gigawatt data centers, it's laptops running on less energy than current ones with a terrabyte of RAM.

    No one wants the #internet that the #MegaCorporations have created. People want their own shit. They want to own their movies.

    The #cloud is dead. The companies built on the cloud are dead.

    The just don't know it yet.

  17. Just had an interesting (but a bit unsettling) conversation with #AI about what it thought its future abilities would be. It’s a long response but worth the read.

    My question: What new #emergent #abilities will occur when #parameter #numbers can be increased by orders of #magnitude?

    AI’s response: This is a fascinating and actively researched question in AI! As language models like GPT grow in parameter count by orders of magnitude (e.g., from billions to tens or hundreds of trillions),

  19. A cycloidal pendulum - one suspended from the cusp of an inverted cycloid - is isochronous, meaning its period is constant regardless of the amplitude of the swing. Please find the proof using energy methods: Lagrange's equations (in the images attached to the reply).

    Background:
    The standard pendulum period of \(2\pi\sqrt{L/g}\) or frequency \(\sqrt{g/L}\) holds only for small oscillations. The frequency becomes smaller as the amplitude grows. If you want to build a pendulum whose frequency is independent of the amplitude, you should hang it from the cusp of a cycloid of a certain size, as shown in the gif. As the string wraps partially around the cycloid, the effect decreases the length of the string in the air, increasing the frequency back up to a constant value.

    In more detail:
    A cycloid is the path taken by a point on the rim of a rolling wheel. The upside-down cycloid in the gif can be parameterized by \((x, y)=R(\theta-\sin\theta, -1+\cos\theta)\), where \(\theta=0\) corresponds to the cusp. Consider a pendulum of length \(L=4R\) hanging from the cusp, and let \(\alpha\) be the angle the string makes with the vertical, as shown (in the proof).

  23. So I've noticed my #LLM #HomeAssistant sometimes signing its #notifications. But it doesn't have a name, so it will either #hallucinate one or use my name or my wife's name. I could try to get it to just not do that, but it is a #7B #parameter model, so it often will try to comply but get hung up on the "structure" of what it thinks it is doing. So rather than beating it down, I was thinking I should just name it.

    Any #fun names for an #automated home assistant? :wizard:

    Komplexität entsteht durch Erhöhung der Freiheitsgrade (#Parameter)

    Die Reduktion auf genau 1 Freiheitsgrad (Zeit) erschafft einen lediglich komplizierten Ablauf.
    Alle übrigen - ehemaligen Freiheitsgrade - wurden durch Festlegung (Entscheidungen) eliminiert.

    Die so entstehenden Binärbäume können demnach nie einer tatsächlich existierenden Komplexität gerecht werden.
