📅 June 24, 2024 - Updates on Benchmarking LLMs
GPT-4-April (@OpenAI ) is the best but recent Claude-3.5-Sonnet has almost caught up (@AnthropicAI ), Gemini 1.5 (Google) are within range but still behind. Llama-3 (@Meta ) is the best open-weight model.

2024 is a great year for Visual Place Recognition, with 4 VPR papers at CVPR 2024!
One of them (SUE) focuses on (still much unexplored) uncertainty for VPR, the other 3 (SALAD, CricaVPR, BoQ) are "pure retrieval" VPR papers.
Below my thoughts, praise and criticism on VPR trends:

New (2h13m 😅) lecture: "Let's build the GPT Tokenizer"
Tokenizers are a completely separate stage of the LLM pipeline: they have their own training set, training algorithm (Byte Pair Encoding), and after training implement two functions: encode() from strings to tokens, and decode() back from tokens to strings. In this lecture we build from scratch the Tokenizer used in the GPT series from OpenAI.

🚀We are thrilled to release LLaVA-1.6, with improved reasoning, OCR, and world knowledge. It supports higher-res inputs, more tasks, and exceeds Gemini Pro on several benchmarks! 🤯 It maintains the data efficiency of LLaVA-1.5, and LLaVA-1.6-34B is trained ~1 day with 32 A100s.
LLaVA-1.6 comes with base LLMs of different sizes: Mistral-7B, Vicuna-7B/13B, Hermes-Yi-34B. Thank you @MistralAI @lmsysorg @01AI_Yi @NousResearch
We serve LLaVA-1.6 efficiently with SGLang @lmsysorg. Thank you @lm_zheng @ying11231 @shiyi_c98 for the integration.
And big shoutouts to awesome collaborators from the LLaVA team: @imhaotian @ChunyuanLi Yuheng Li @BoLi68567011 @zhang_yuanhan @shengs1123 @yong_jae_lee

Nice work surveying 300+ papers and summarizing research developments to look at in the space of Generative AI.
It covers computational challenges, scalability, real-world implications, and the potential for Gen AI to drive progress in fields like healthcare, finance, and education.

Large Language Models (in 2023)
An excellent summary of the research progress and developments in LLMs.
I appreciate that @hwchung27 made this content publicly available. It's a great way to catch up on some important themes like scaling and optimizing LLMs.

A new issue of Ahead of AI is out!
This month, I am covering all the LLM-related busyness on the business side (like OpenAI and Microsoft developing their own AI chips) to new ‘small’ but very capable LLMs like phi and Mistral: magazine.sebastianraschka.co…

Easily the best paper on current State of LLMs! 🙏
A 50 page read but it’s not “just another” survey paper, that only documents facts. The authors actually add very useful commentary capturing all aspects of building Large Language Models.
Hence the result is a collection of ideas we might have missed across months of research.
It covers both building LLMs and effectively applying them to domains, with a focus on current limitations and “sharp edges”
As always, I think great content makes you discover missing bits in your knowledge, for this reason it’s a solid cover to cover read recommendation:
