Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Seems Meta have been doing some research lately, to replace the current tokenizers with new/different representations:

Does this use the same attention architecture as traditional tokenisation? As far as I understood it each token has a bunch of meaning associated with it encoded in a vector.

Uh, I'm not sure. I didn't have the time yet to read those papers. I suppose the Byte Latent Transformer does. It's still some kind of a transformer architecture. With the Large Concept Models, I'm not so sure. They're encoding whole sentences. And the researchers explore like 3 different (diffusion) architectures. The paper calls itself a "proof of feasibility", so it's more basic research about that approach, not one single/specific model architecture.
