Griffin: Mixing Gated Linear Recurrences with Local Attention for Efficient Language Models

Soham De, Samuel L. Smith, Anushan Fernando +14

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have fast inference and scale efficiently on long sequences, but they are difficult to train and hard to scale. We propose Hawk, an RNN with gated…

Reinforced Self-Training (ReST) for Language Modeling

Caglar Gulcehre, Tom Le Paine, Srivatsan Srinivasan +11

Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) can improve the quality of large language model's (LLM) outputs by aligning them with human preferences. We propose a simple algor…
