DiscoResearch Discord Summary

• LLM-Assisted Scoring Evaluation Experiment: User @_jp1_ initiated a discussion regarding an early-stage AI startup's LLM-assisted batch evaluation tool for highlight extraction. This sparked debates on reducing score and using special rating tokens for accuracy and discrimination "Link to the original post". The conversation later branched out to potential collaboration and understanding the evaluation method featuring @bjoernp and @_jp1_.
• Mixtral Implementation: The conversation in mixtral_implementation channel highlighted different elements of mixtral implementation including the best practices, access to high-end hardware, and expert selection strategies along with benchmark results.
  • The main points here include a custom build of llama.cpp shared by @kalomaze and a tweet shared by @someone13574 suggesting that using 3 experts yields the best perplexity results.
• OpenAI's Alignment Plan and Phi-2 Discussion: OpenAI's new paper's alignment plan and effectiveness of Phi-2 were the topics of discussion here. Also, there was a suggestion by @flozi00 to implement scoring models to enhance data quality in Disco Research.
• Progress on Simplified Language Understanding and Modeling (Llama) Integration and FastEval Evaluation: Conversation revolved around llama.cpp integration into projects, the completion of a substantial part of FastEval evaluation and problems related to llama-cpp-python. More specifically, new developments were noted such as the FastEval project fork on GitHub by Disco Research. Suggestions were provided by @bjoernp to @rtyax for debugging simpler models and using a single thread for the local model.

▷ #disco_judge (11 messages🔥):

• LLM-Assisted Scoring Evaluation Experiment: User @_jp1_ shared a post from Reddit about an early-stage AI startup's results using their LLM-assisted batch evaluation tool. The tool is used for highlight extraction from news articles and the MMLU benchmark using a scoring model. They referenced three 1, 2, 3 different research papers as the basis of their evaluation method. This led to a discussion about whether reducing score categories and using special rating tokens could influence accuracy and the ability to discriminate. Link to the original post

• Potential Collaboration: User @bjoernp expressed interest in the evaluation approach and suggested collaboration with the startup working on similar projects.

• Evaluation Method Understanding: A discussion between @bjoernp and @_jp1_ ensued concerning the circular nature of using benchmarks for evaluation models. They talked about how a good benchmark could negate the need for an eval model and how the use of evaluation models is often resorted to when there is no easy way to benchmark or it would be too much effort to create benchmarks for everything to measure.

• Confusion on Benchmarking and Evaluation Models: @_jp1_ expressed confusion over the evaluation method and questioned if measuring MMLU of the eval model is similar to direct model evaluation. @bjoernp acknowledged the similarity but noted a slight difference, stating that rating a response is an easier task.

• Other potential benchmark: In their conclusion, @bjoernp suggested that a held-out test set could potentially be a good benchmark for the rating model.

▷ #mixtral_implementation (29 messages🔥):

• Mixtral Implementation Best Practices: @nul3 asked which is better between the instruct and non-instruct versions for chat. @goldkoron recommended the instruct version.
• Custom MoE Routing: @kalomaze shared a custom build of llama.cpp which is a modification to the Mixtral PR that lets users customize the amount of experts that are routed per token.
• Access to High-End Hardware: @tarikoctapm offered access to a machine with 4 x RTX 4090, asking in return for the sharing of results from models.
• Expert Selection Strategy Discussion: @chrismcmaster and @kalomaze exchanged ideas on various expert selection strategies. They discussed hardcoding a set number of experts, 'min_p' strategy, and top-k experts. @kalomaze elaborated on 'min_p', which acts as a minimum probability threshold based on the maximum probability.
• Benchmark Results: @bjoernp shared preliminary benchmarks which showed sub-optimal performance when hardcoding either 1 or 4 top-k experts. @someone13574 shared a tweet suggesting that using 3 experts yields the best perplexity results. These results were critiqued by @kenjiqq who observed inconsistencies in the Q6 quant.

▷ #general (5 messages):

• OpenAI's Alignment Plan: @_jp1_ brought attention to the interesting content in OpenAI's new paper regarding their alignment plan. No link was provided.
• Discussion on Phi-2: @bjoernp and @flozi00 engaged in conversation about Phi-2, questioning its effectiveness and the legitimacy of its benchmarks. While @bjoernp showed skepticism, @flozi00 shared some optimistic observations from Twitter examples, especially for smaller scale uses cases on edge.
• Data Quality Scoring Models in Disco Research: @flozi00 suggested the implementation of scoring models to enhance data quality in Disco Research. The aim is to not only deduplicate datasets, but also cleanse them of low-quality data like raw lists from Wikipedia or translation errors.

▷ #benchmark_dev (13 messages🔥):

• Collaboration on Simplified Language Understanding and Modeling (Llama) Integration: @bjoernp requested @rtyax for collaboration on incorporating llama.cpp into their project and asked for clarity on the problems related to tokenizer that @rtyax had mentioned earlier.
• FastEval Evaluation Completion and Future Steps: @bjoernp outlined the next steps including adding the capacity for n repetitions of benchmarks and calculating the mean and standard deviation, thereby completing a substantial part of the evaluations. He also pointed out the continued need for the integration with llama.cpp to examine the effects of min_p and enabling grammar-based inference to fix the output format.
• FastEval Repository on DiscoResearch GitHub: @bjoernp created a fork of FastEval with the DiscoResearch GitHub account for coordination, directing users and @rtyax to submit their changes there. The repository is found at https://github.com/DiscoResearch/FastEval.
• Issues with Llama-cpp-python: @rtyax reported that llama-cpp-python was failing silently when running generate/chat_completion. They noted that the difficulty may not be with the tokenizer, but could not identify the specific problem. They had recently rebuilt llama-cpp-python for mixtral, and were uncertain if the problem was local or more widespread.
• Debugging Suggestions: @bjoernp suggested debugging simpler models first, like mistral-7b, and changing fasteval evaluation constants to use a single thread for the local model. @rtyax said that only one GPU was being used in his box, but the generation was continuing as if it was never called due to a try/catch block.

• AI Economics Discussion: @stevekamman shared insights on the economics of AI, specifically focusing on the comparison between training and inference cost and revenues. He said: "Inference must pay the bills - GPU, S&M, overheads..." and pointed out that the revenue generated by inference must be noticeably higher than the cost associated with training to maintain profitability in the long term.
• Consideration on Training Costs: @stevekamman noted that the cost incurred in training can be offset by selling the foundational models but he also pointed out that it's inevitable for the buyers of these models to fund the purchase either through revenue or efficiency gains.
• Future of FM Companies: @spillai speculated on whether foundation model (FM) companies need to develop their own clouds to continue capturing enough long-term value from their customers and therefore attain profitability. They drew attention to the potential need for vertical AI infrastructure providers for large language models (LLMs).
• Utilization of GPU by FM companies: @stevekamman questioned the utilization efficiencies of GPUs by FM companies, given their binary nature (100% or 0% utilization). This, considering how potential scale-based utilization efficiencies might be limited.
