<example_output> ### What is a large language model? (0:24 - 3:44) 1. A large language model consists of just two essential files: a parameters file containing the model weights, and a run file containing the code to execute the model. For example, Llama 2 70B has a 140GB parameters file storing 70 billion parameters in float16 format. 2. The run file is relatively simple, requiring only about 500 lines of C code with no dependencies. This makes the model completely self-contained and able to run offline on a local machine. 3. Llama 2 is highlighted as the most powerful open weights model, contrasting with closed models like ChatGPT. The model comes in different sizes (7B, 13B, 34B, and 70B parameters). Quotes: 1. "A large language model is just two files... the parameters file and the Run file that runs those parameters." 2. "This is unlike many other language models that you might be familiar with for example if you're using chat GPT... the model architecture was never released." 3. "You can take these two files and you can take your MacBook and this is a fully self-contained package... you don't need any connectivity to the internet." ### LLM Training (4:17 - 6:39) 1. Training an LLM involves compressing roughly 10 terabytes of internet text data into a much smaller parameter file. The process uses about 6,000 GPUs running for 12 days, costing approximately $2 million for Llama 2 70B. 2. The compression is lossy, creating a "Gestalt" of the training data rather than perfect reproduction. The compression ratio is roughly 100x, turning terabytes of text into a 140GB parameter file. 3. Modern state-of-the-art models require even more resources, with training runs costing tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Quotes: 1. "Model training is a very involved process... you basically take a chunk of the internet that is roughly you should be thinking 10 terab of text." 2. "These parameters that I showed you in an earlier slide are best kind of thought of as like a zip file of the internet... but this is not exactly a zip file because a zip file is lossless compression." 3. "If you want to think about state-of-the-art neural networks like say what you might use in chpt or Claude or Bard or something like that, these numbers are off by factor of 10 or more." ### Next-Word Prediction and Neural Networks (6:40 - 8:55) 1. The fundamental operation of the neural network is next-word prediction. When given a sequence of words, it uses its parameters and neural connections to predict the most probable next word. 2. Parameters are distributed throughout interconnected neurons that "fire in a certain way" to make predictions. The example shows predicting "mat" with 97% probability after the sequence "C sat on a." 3. Next-word prediction, while seemingly simple, requires the model to learn extensive world knowledge to make accurate predictions. To predict words in context about Ruth Handler, for instance, the model needs to understand who she was, when she lived, and what she accomplished. Quotes: 1. "This neural network basically is just trying to predict the next word in a sequence... so you can feed in a sequence of words for example 'C sat on a' this feeds into a neural net." 2. "These parameters are dispersed throughout this neural network and there's neurons and they're connected to each other and they all fire in a certain way." 3. "The next word prediction task you might think is a very simple objective but it's actually a pretty powerful objective because it forces you to learn a lot about the world inside the parameters of the neural network." </example_output> <example_input> Intro: Large Language Model (LLM) talk 0:00 hi everyone so recently I gave a 30-minute talk on large language models just kind of like an intro talk um 0:06 unfortunately that talk was not recorded but a lot of people came to me after the talk and they told me that uh they 0:11 really liked the talk so I would just I thought I would just re-record it and basically put it up on YouTube so here 0:16 we go the busy person's intro to large language models director Scott okay so let's begin first of all what is a large LLM Inference 0:24 language model really well a large language model is just two files right um there will be two files in this 0:31 hypothetical directory so for example working with a specific example of the Llama 270b model this is a large 0:38 language model released by meta Ai and this is basically the Llama series of language models the second iteration of 0:45 it and this is the 70 billion parameter model of uh of this series so there's 0:51 multiple models uh belonging to the Llama 2 Series uh 7 billion um 13 0:57 billion 34 billion and 70 billion is the biggest one now many people like this model specifically because it is 1:04 probably today the most powerful open weights model so basically the weights and the architecture and a paper was all 1:10 released by meta so anyone can work with this model very easily uh by themselves 1:15 uh this is unlike many other language models that you might be familiar with for example if you're using chat GPT or something like that uh the model 1:22 architecture was never released it is owned by open aai and you're allowed to use the language model through a web 1:27 interface but you don't have actually access to that model so in this case the Llama 270b model is really just two 1:35 files on your file system the parameters file and the Run uh some kind of a code that runs those 1:41 parameters so the parameters are basically the weights or the parameters of this neural network that is the 1:47 language model we'll go into that in a bit because this is a 70 billion parameter model uh every one of those 1:53 parameters is stored as 2 bytes and so therefore the parameters file here is 1:58 140 gigabytes and it's two bytes because this is a float 16 uh number as the data 2:04 type now in addition to these parameters that's just like a large list of parameters uh for that neural network 2:11 you also need something that runs that neural network and this piece of code is implemented in our run file now this 2:17 could be a C file or a python file or any other programming language really uh it can be written any arbitrary language 2:23 but C is sort of like a very simple language just to give you a sense and uh it would only require about 500 lines of 2:29 C with no other dependencies to implement the the uh neural network architecture uh and that uses basically 2:37 the parameters to run the model so it's only these two files you can take these two files and you can take your MacBook 2:44 and this is a fully self-contained package this is everything that's necessary you don't need any connectivity to the internet or anything 2:49 else you can take these two files you compile your C code you get a binary that you can point at the parameters and 2:55 you can talk to this language model so for example you can send it text like for example write a poem about the 3:01 company scale Ai and this language model will start generating text and in this case it will follow the directions and 3:07 give you a poem about scale AI now the reason that I'm picking on scale AI here and you're going to see that throughout 3:13 the talk is because the event that I originally presented uh this talk with was run by scale Ai and so I'm picking 3:20 on them throughout uh throughout the slides a little bit just in an effort to make it concrete so this is how we can run the 3:27 model just requires two files just requires a MacBook I'm slightly cheating here because this was not actually in 3:33 terms of the speed of this uh video here this was not running a 70 billion parameter model it was only running a 7 3:38 billion parameter Model A 70b would be running about 10 times slower but I wanted to give you an idea of uh sort of 3:44 just the text generation and what that looks like so not a lot is necessary to 3:50 run the model this is a very small package but the computational complexity really comes in when we'd like to get 3:57 those parameters so how do we get the parameters and where are they from uh because whatever is in the run. C file 4:03 um the neural network architecture and sort of the forward pass of that Network everything is algorithmically understood 4:10 and open and and so on but the magic really is in the parameters and how do we obtain them so to obtain the LLM Training 4:17 parameters um basically the model training as we call it is a lot more involved than model inference which is 4:23 the part that I showed you earlier so model inference is just running it on your MacBook model training is a 4:28 competition very involved process process so basically what we're doing can best be sort of understood as kind 4:34 of a compression of a good chunk of Internet so because llama 270b is an 4:39 open source model we know quite a bit about how it was trained because meta released that information in paper so 4:46 these are some of the numbers of what's involved you basically take a chunk of the internet that is roughly you should be thinking 10 terab of text this 4:53 typically comes from like a crawl of the internet so just imagine uh just collecting tons of text from all kinds 4:59 of different websites and collecting it together so you take a large cheun of internet then you procure a GPU cluster 5:07 um and uh these are very specialized computers intended for very heavy computational workloads like training of 5:13 neural networks you need about 6,000 gpus and you would run this for about 12 days uh to get a llama 270b and this 5:21 would cost you about $2 million and what this is doing is basically it is compressing this uh large chunk of text 5:29 into what you can think of as a kind of a zip file so these parameters that I showed you in an earlier slide are best 5:35 kind of thought of as like a zip file of the internet and in this case what would come out are these parameters 140 GB so 5:41 you can see that the compression ratio here is roughly like 100x uh roughly speaking but this is not exactly a zip 5:48 file because a zip file is lossless compression What's Happening Here is a lossy compression we're just kind of 5:53 like getting a kind of a Gestalt of the text that we trained on we don't have an identical copy of it in these parameters 6:01 and so it's kind of like a lossy compression you can think about it that way the one more thing to point out here is these numbers here are actually by 6:08 today's standards in terms of state-of-the-art rookie numbers uh so if you want to think about state-of-the-art 6:14 neural networks like say what you might use in chpt or Claude or Bard or something like that uh these numbers are 6:21 off by factor of 10 or more so you would just go in then you just like start multiplying um by quite a bit more and 6:27 that's why these training runs today are many tens or even potentially hundreds of millions of dollars very large 6:34 clusters very large data sets and this process here is very involved to get those parameters once you have those 6:40 parameters running the neural network is fairly computationally cheap okay so what is this neural 6:47 network really doing right I mentioned that there are these parameters um this neural network basically is just trying 6:52 to predict the next word in a sequence you can think about it that way so you can feed in a sequence of words for 6:58 example C set on a this feeds into a neural net and these parameters are 7:03 dispersed throughout this neural network and there's neurons and they're connected to each other and they all fire in a certain way you can think 7:10 about it that way um and out comes a prediction for what word comes next so for example in this case this neural 7:15 network might predict that in this context of for Words the next word will probably be a Matt with say 97% 7:23 probability so this is fundamentally the problem that the neural network is performing and this you can show 7:29 mathematically that there's a very close relationship between prediction and compression which is why I sort of 7:35 allude to this neural network as a kind of training it is kind of like a compression of the internet um because 7:41 if you can predict uh sort of the next word very accurately uh you can use that 7:46 to compress the data set so it's just a next word prediction neural network you give it some words it gives you the next 7:53 word now the reason that what you get out of the training is actually quite a magical artifact is 8:00 that basically the next word predition task you might think is a very simple objective but it's actually a pretty 8:06 powerful objective because it forces you to learn a lot about the world inside the parameters of the neural network so 8:12 here I took a random web page um at the time when I was making this talk I just grabbed it from the main page of 8:17 Wikipedia and it was uh about Ruth Handler and so think about being the neural network and you're given some 8:25 amount of words and trying to predict the next word in a sequence well in this case I'm highlighting here in red some 8:31 of the words that would contain a lot of information and so for example in in if 8:36 your objective is to predict the next word presumably your parameters have to learn a lot of this knowledge you have 8:42 to know about Ruth and Handler and when she was born and when she died uh who she was uh what she's done and so on and 8:50 so in the task of next word prediction you're learning a ton about the world and all this knowledge is being 8:55 compressed into the weights uh the parameters </example_input> <instructions> You are an
