With purely quadratic attention, the cost of the token at 372K is 87% more than the token at 272K. There are attention mechanisms that help to mitigate this, but you can clearly see in the chart that Tibo posted that the attention mechanism

Markdown has emerged as the "lingua franca" of LLMs. It is structured enough to convey meaning, and yet readable everywhere. However, as document lengths increase: 1. It is wasteful to put the entire context in memory 2. It can re

I use Camo (lifetime $79 license) and an iPhone SE I picked up on eBay for $200. I've had dozens of people comment how clear my camera is. Many now purchased a similar setup. I used OBS for a long time since it was free, but the qualit

Investments were this way in the 1800s and early 1900s. A lot of protections have been put into place since then. There's a reason we prosecute Ponzi schemes, offer FDIC and SIPC insurance, stress test banks, etc.

To the authors: did you any of your own recordings? I've used my own and clips online, in WAV and other formats, at various sampling rates. All of the results come back gibberish. The results in the training data seem just fine. Curiou
