Microsoft releases Phi-2, a 2.7B model it says matches models 25 times larger
The 2.7B base model was trained on 1.4 trillion tokens in 14 days on 96 A100 GPUs, and Microsoft says it matches models up to 25 times larger.
Apple researchers run models twice the size of available DRAM from flash
The LLM in a flash paper loads parameters from flash on demand and reports 4 to 5 times faster CPU and 20 to 25 times faster GPU inference.
Stability AI releases StableLM Zephyr 3B for edge devices
Stability AI tuned a 3B chat model with direct preference optimisation for edge devices and reports an MT-Bench score of 6.64.
Gemini Nano ships on the Pixel 8 Pro and Android gets AICore
Google put Gemini Nano on the Pixel 8 Pro for Recorder summaries and Gboard Smart Reply, and introduced AICore as the Android service behind it.
Microsoft carries its textbook data recipe from code to reasoning with the 1.3B phi-1.5
The 1.3-billion-parameter model trains on 30B tokens of mostly synthetic data and posts reasoning scores above Llama2-7B in Microsoft evaluations.
Microsoft trains phi-1 to 50.6 percent on HumanEval with 1.3B parameters
Microsoft Research reports 50.6 percent on HumanEval and 55.5 percent on MBPP for a 1.3B code model trained on under 7B tokens of textbook-quality data.
RWKV trains like a transformer and runs with constant memory per token
The paper releases pretrained RNN weights from 169M to 14B parameters and reports constant time and memory per token during inference.
LaMini-LM distils models from 61M parameters up on 2.58M instructions
MBZUAI distilled 17 instruction models from 61M to 7B parameters on 2.58M synthetic instructions, and reports the 248M model matching LLaMA-7B.
MobileBERT runs in 62 ms on a Pixel 4 with 25.3M parameters
