Researchers show that training on “junk data” can lead to LLM “brain rot”

On the surface, it seems obvious that training an LLM with “high quality” data will lead to better performance than feeding it any old “low quality” junk you can find. Now, a group of researchers is ...

I built a private LLM on my home PC using a USB drive — it only knows what I put on it

I run my own AI on a USB drive and my data never leaves my PC, always private — here's how to build one.

What Happens When LLM’s Run Out Of Useful Data?

Most of us feel like we’re drowning in data. And yet, in the world of generative AI, a looming data shortage is keeping some researchers up at night. GenAI is unquestionably a technology whose ...

State media control shapes LLM behaviour by influencing training data

State control of the media is shown to alter the training data of large language models (LLMs) through its impact on the information environment. This has a substantial effect on the output of LLMs, ...

Test Time Training Will Take LLM AI to the Next Level

MIT researchers achieved 61.9% on ARC tasks by updating model parameters during inference. Is this key to AGI? We might reach the 85% AGI doorstep by scaling and integrating it with COT (Chain of ...

Talkie Is a ‘Vintage LLM’ Trained on Pre-1930 Data to Help Facilitate ‘Time Travel’

The idea is that you restrict the training data provided to the model to material published before a given date. In the case of Talkie, aka 13B 1930 LM, the cutoff is, as the name suggests, the year ...

Training AI models might not need enormous data centres

Once, the world’s richest men competed over yachts, jets and private islands. Now, the size-measuring contest of choice is clusters. Just 18 months ago, OpenAI trained GPT-4, its then state-of-the-art ...
