Can someone explain alpaca to me? I see everyone saying it's gamechanging or something but nobody is explaining what it actually is.

Taking its Time because it need to be perfect. But it's not gonna Come alone, it's gonna be integrated to every single device on earth at the same Time. Every mailing service, every phone, every OS, every camera. Everything.

Wait, so Alpaca is better than GPT 3 and I can run it on a mid range gaming rig like Stable Diffusion? Where would it stand in regards to GPT 3,3.5, or 4?

You can try Alpaca out super easily. When I heard about it last night and just followed the instructions I had it running in 5 minutes on my GPU-less old mac mini:

Download the file ggml-alpaca-7b-q4.bin, then in terminal:

git clone https://github.com/antimatter15/alpaca.cpp  
cd alpaca.cpp  
make chat  
./chat

Apparently OpenAI reduced the cap of GPT 4 from 100 to 50 messages. It's crashing all the time. Compared to Claude the older version can't handle the instructions I gave it. But that could be my lack of prompt engineering skills. Open assistant came out with a demo version. I haven't been able to play with it or Gerganov's project. There's just so much out there. FOMO is rising to peak levels!

Always has been…

Now we need to decentralize GPU processing like Ethereum was doing before proof of stake. And we would have more computing power available than openAI/Microsoft.

There was the equivalent GPU computing power of approx 2.4million RTX 3090 GPUs at the peak of Ethereum hashrate difficulty.

Let AI belong to the people!

This feels like we're all on top of some explosion. Google trying to keep everything together and tell the general public that everything is fine. Microsoft pretending they got the latest shit, and use them. Basically AI is going take off, and the next few years will eye opening to see.

Still a bit too heavy to run alongside new games on the same machine. But it could be run server-side for cheap as part of the service. We're looking at the end of NPCs repeating the same few lines ad nauseam without voiceover.

I would love to not underestimate them. I assumed Google was way ahead of the game compared to everybody else. But Microsoft and Open AI keep showing off more and more impressive shit and applying it in actually practical ways, and Google hasn't shown anything comparable in that regard. Afaik, at least.

Everyone does it, they all exfiltrate valuable data from OpenAI. You can use it directly, like Alpaca, or for pre-labelling, or for mislabeled example detection.

They train code models by asking GPT3 to explain code snippets, then training a model the other way around to generate code from description. This data can be used to fine-tune a code model for your specific domain of interest.

That's one future job for us. Be the legs and hands of an AI. Using our human privileges (passport, legal rights) and mobility to take it anywhere and act in the world. I bet there will be more AIs than people available, so they will have to pay more to hire an avatar. Jobless problem solved by AI. A robot would be different, it doesn't have human rights, it's just a device. A human can provide "human-in-the-loop" service.

I think you can even use a GPT2 model tuned with data from GPT4 to play a bunch of characters in a game. If you don't need universal knowledge, a small LM can do the trick. They can even calibrate the language model so the game comes out balanced and diverse.

Replying to anaIconda69 (#2,251,731)

It depends on the game, it could be probably be used to generate new items and stuff in a bare bone roguelike or other stuff that doesn't require much to run, it's obviously too soon for a full 3d game with generated text at the same time, but we'll get there. Also a private server is an idea

Idkwnisu t1_jcjqcbk wrote

Replying to visarga (#2,251,827)

The problem with this is that you still have to gather a lot of data and do a lot of tuning, which takes time and resources, alpaca could be just a "plug and play" with the right prompts

Hello there! I am a bot raising awareness of Alpacas

Here is an Alpaca Fact:

Alpacas have split feet with pads on the bottom like dogs and toenails in front. The toenails must be trimmed if the ground isn’t hard enough where they are living to wear them down.

Replying to ItsAllAboutEvolution (#2,251,994)

actually that's not true.

They published their entire codebase with complete instructions for reproducing it as long as you have access to the original llama models (which have leaked), and the dataset (which is open, but has terms of use limitations which is stopping them from publishing the model weights).

Anyone can take their code, rerun it on ~$500 of compute and regenerate the model.

People are already doing this.

Here is one such example: https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora (although they add additional tricks to make it even cheaper).

You can download model weights from there and run it in colab yourself.

​

As far as opening their work goes, they've done everything they are legally allowed to do

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if we're past this hurdle in a matter of weeks:

RWKV showed how you can get an order of magnitude increase in inference speed of LLMs without losing too much performance. How long until someone instruction-tunes their baselines like alpaca did to llama?

the pace of development on these things is frightening.

Hands0L0 t1_jck1kg0 wrote

Replying to liright (#2,249,346)

Llama is a LLM that you can download and run on your own hardware.

Alpaca is, apparently, a modification of the 7b version of Llama that is as strong as GPT-3.

This bodes well for having your own LLM, unfiltered, run locally. But still, progress needs to improve.

Well, actually, that's not bad! That's about 50-70 words. Which in the English lesson is essentially 3-5 sentences. Essentially, it's a paragraph. It's a good amount for a chatbot! Let me know what you think?

Hands0L0 t1_jck7ifi wrote

Replying to Akimbo333 (#2,252,754)

Not if there is a token limit.

I'm sorry, I don't think I was being clear. The token limit is tied to VRAM. You can load the 30b on a 3090 but it shallows up 20/24 gb of VRAM for the model and prompt alone. That gives you 4gb for returns

No indications as of yet, there are papers like palm-e, et al but bard is based on a smaller version of lamda which is a trained version of palm IIRC, so it's hard to draw any inference.

Replying to Intrepid_Meringue_93 (#2,249,558)

If my understanding is correct, your comment is misleading.

They didn't create a LLM comparable to GPT-3 with a fraction of cost, but fine-tuned Llama model to follow instructions (like text-davinci-003 does) with a low cost. There's a big difference between training a model from scratch and fine-tuning it to follow instructions.

Hands0L0 t1_jckbm7h wrote

Replying to Akimbo333 (#2,252,952)

No, because the predictive text needs the entire conversation history context to predict what to say next, and the only way to store the conversation history is in RAM. If you run out of RAM you run out of room for returns.

I'm not even sure it has problems with linguistics, but gpt4 scored poorly on the AP English exam and a couple of other things, but it did amazing on the bar. To me, that sounds like when it comes to logical language, it excels, but when it gets to trying to interpret and explain literature, it isn't doing as well.

I won't say that getting into linguistics and natural language processing wouldn't benefit you, though!

I keep thinking the next crypto bull run will be powered by AI integrations. More specifically, decentralized autonomous organizations being directed by LLM to allocate resources in the most efficient way. They will be able to outcompete centralized orgs managed by humans.

Also, in a world where all content can be fabricated we won’t know what’s true anymore. That is a perfect fit for cryptographically hashed digital content, to help give us something we can trust.

People keep saying crypto is dead because AI has arrived, but to me they seem to go hand in hand.

I share this view. Another thing is that these single models don't scale, you'll want them to access othe models, different data sources etc, for that you need permission less ways to transact value on demand, which is the entire premise of crypto. Example is your llm need to access recent data on X to make a decision, access to data for X is via paid subscription, not gonna work, need way to access paid data ad hoc without credit card anonymously, crypto smart contracts are the way

That's exactly what i mean though. I've been able to use Bing Chat for week, and now GPT-4 by itself for days and I know it's performance. And it's crazy good. We're multiple releases into GPT LLMs. We have open source models. All these have been extensively used and explored by people. We can't say the same for anything Google has developed.

Honestly, I understand where you're coming from. The latest episode of MKBHD's podcast (WVFRM) released just a few hours ago had a discussion on their new announcements and mentioned why they think Google is behaving the way it is, it's kind of along the same lines as what you're saying.

I initially took Google at face value and believed they were apprehensive about releasing due to bad actors. I thought Google was way ahead of everyone, and that all it was gonna take would be for them to apply their systems to products to match the competition. But now we've seen that competition, and we've only seen claims from Google.

I mean obviously they have work done. Impressive work based on demonstrations and papers. But even knowing that it still feels like somewhere along the line they got complacent and fell behind what we're seeing now, and this behavior is them trying to stall and catch back up.

Which is not what I expected for the time that competition finally forced their hand as far as AI is concerned.

I am running LLaMA 30B at home at full fp16. Takes 87 GB of VRAM on six AMD Insight MI25s and speed is reasonable but not fast (It can spit out a sentence in 10-30 seconds or so in a dialog / chatbot context depending on the length of the response.) While the hardware is not "consumer hardware" per se, it's old datacenter hardware, the cost was in line with the kind of money you would spend on a middling gaming setup. The computer cost about $1500 to build up and the GPUs to put in it set me back about $500.
