Scaling Retrieval-Based Language Models with a Trillion-Token Datastore
Rulin Shao, Jacqueline He, Akari Asai +5
Scaling laws with respect to the amount of training data and the number of parameters allow us to predict the cost-benefit trade-offs of pretraining language models (LMs) in differ…
SpQR: A Sparse-Quantized Representation for Near-Lossless LLM Weight Compression
Tim Dettmers, Ruslan Svirschevski, Vage Egiazarian +6
Recent advances in large language model (LLM) pretraining have led to high-quality LLMs with impressive abilities. By compressing such LLMs via quantization to 3-4 bits per paramet…
Branch-Train-Merge: Embarrassingly Parallel Training of Expert Language Models
Margaret Li, Suchin Gururangan, Tim Dettmers +4
We present Branch-Train-Merge (BTM), a communication-efficient algorithm for embarrassingly parallel training of large language models (LLMs). We show it is possible to independent…
