🤔 Ah, yet another grandiose attempt to unravel the mysteries of the human #brain using LLMs—the modern-day equivalent of a crystal ball 🔮. Spoiler: it’s mostly #jargon and #buzzwords with a side of self-congratulatory fluff. How thoughtful of them to remind us they exist! 🙄

🚀👀 "Fetch-MCP" claims to fetch web pages in bulk using a headless browser but forgets it’s 2023 and browsers are pretty good at fetching pages themselves. A GitHub repo, a sprinkle of #AI #jargon, and voilà—a solution in desperate search of a problem. 🤖💡

🎩🤖 Oh look, another "revolutionary" training system with a name you can't pronounce and acronyms galore—because nothing screams #innovation like drowning in #jargon. 🤓💤 It's like they took #AI, added some #confusion, and called it a day. 📚🔍

arXiv.orgAutoHete: An Automatic and Efficient Heterogeneous Training System for LLMsTransformer-based large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated exceptional capabilities in sequence modeling and text generation, with improvements scaling proportionally with model size. However, the limitations of GPU memory have restricted LLM training accessibility for many researchers. Existing heterogeneous training methods significantly expand the scale of trainable models but introduce substantial communication overheads and CPU workloads. In this work, we propose AutoHete, an automatic and efficient heterogeneous training system compatible with both single-GPU and multi-GPU environments. AutoHete dynamically adjusts activation checkpointing, parameter offloading, and optimizer offloading based on the specific hardware configuration and LLM training needs. Additionally, we design a priority-based scheduling mechanism that maximizes the overlap between operations across training iterations, enhancing throughput. Compared to state-of-the-art heterogeneous training systems, AutoHete delivers a 1.32x~1.91x throughput improvement across various model sizes and training configurations.

Ah, the brave new world of #AI overlords: *LearnLM*, where a flock of buzzwords valiantly attempts to teach #science principles while tripping over its own #jargon. 🤖🔬 Spoiler alert: It's basically a glorified science #fair #project, but with extra layers of API gibberish. 🎉

Habitually I provide the url, but if you do not need to, I would not recommend this for human reading. I fully grasp the concepts trying to be described, I just reflexively resist the way it is presented.

Ironic for something trying to explain how to implement the separation of data, code and presentation, that it so quickly devolves into #Jargon & #Technobabble
