  1. QAD от NVIDIA: разбираюсь, почему 4-битная квантизация перестала всё ломать

    NVIDIA выпустила отчет о методе QAD, который позволяет квантовать LLM в 4 бита без потери качества на сложных задачах (математика, код). Разбираем, почему привычный QAT «ломает» модели после RLHF, как дистилляция через KL-дивергенцию решает эту проблему и почему метод работает даже на рандомных данных. Личный опыт попыток уместить 49B модель в железо и анализ нового подхода.

  2. Who knew a 'sin tax' on #Khat could lead to #MentalHealth revolution in #Somaliland? Country's innovative approach is #Funding treatment for addicts, but let's not forget: #InternationalDonors, you're not off the hook yet! #MentalHealthMatters #Qat

  3. Answering myself: LKCF seems to use the in-tree QAT driver by default for a bunch of algorithms. #QAT #linux #kernel

  4. Is anyone using the upstreamed Intel #QAT kernel module for anything? Is it useful at all? All the Intel instructions seem to start with installing their stuff instead. #linux #kernel

  5. Anyone else gone down the rabbit hole of #Intel #QAT support on #FreeBSD?

    The performance boost is crazy, Server The Home has a great write up about it on the Xeon D CPU:
    servethehome.com/welcome-to-th

    It accelerates #OpenSSL
    github.com/intel/QAT_Engine/tr

    It also accelerates gzip with a QATzip module.

    For #Nginx there is a great guide:
    intel.com/content/www/us/en/de

    It looks like a lot of work to configure and test, but hopefully later this summer I can give it a go on a system . CPU that supports QAT.
