Katherine Crowson from Stable Diffusion introduces a hierarchical pure transformer backbone for diffusion-based image generation that efficiently scales to megapixel resolutions with under 600 million parameters, improving upon the original ~900M parameter model. This architecture processes local and global image phenomena separately, enhancing efficiency and resolution without latent steps. Additionally, Meta's Self Rewarding LM paper has inspired lucidrains to begin an implementation. Discord summaries highlight GPT-4's robustness against quantification tricks, discussions on open-source GPT-0 alternatives, challenges in DPO training on limited VRAM with suggestions like QLoRA and rmsprop, and efforts to improve roleplay model consistency through fine-tuning and merging. Philosophical debates on AI sentience and GPT-4 customization for markdown and translation tasks were also noted.
