How do LLMs Compute Verbal Confidence
Dharshan Kumaran, Arthur Conmy, Federico Barbero +3
Verbal confidence -- prompting LLMs to state their confidence as a number or category -- is widely used to extract uncertainty estimates from black-box models. However, how LLMs in…
Promptbreeder: Self-Referential Self-Improvement Via Prompt Evolution
Chrisantha Fernando, Dylan Banarse, Henryk Michalewski +2
Popular prompt strategies like Chain-of-Thought Prompting can dramatically improve the reasoning abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in various domains. However, such hand-cr…
Training Compute-Optimal Large Language Models
Jordan Hoffmann, Sebastian Borgeaud, Arthur Mensch +19
We investigate the optimal model size and number of tokens for training a transformer language model under a given compute budget. We find that current large language models are si…
Unified Scaling Laws for Routed Language Models
Aidan Clark, Diego de las Casas, Aurelia Guy +23
The performance of a language model has been shown to be effectively modeled as a power-law in its parameter count. Here we study the scaling behaviors of Routing Networks: archite…
Scaling Language Models: Methods, Analysis & Insights from Training Gopher
Jack W. Rae, Sebastian Borgeaud, Trevor Cai +77
Language modelling provides a step towards intelligent communication systems by harnessing large repositories of written human knowledge to better predict and understand the world.…
Improving language models by retrieving from trillions of tokens
Sebastian Borgeaud, Arthur Mensch, Jordan Hoffmann +25
We enhance auto-regressive language models by conditioning on document chunks retrieved from a large corpus, based on local similarity with preceding tokens. With a trillion to…
