The size of MPT-30B was also specifically chosen to make it easy to deploy on a single GPU—either 1x NVIDIA A100-80GB in 16-bit precision or 1x NVIDIA A100-40GB in 8-bit precision. Other comparable LLMs such as Falcon-40B have larger parameter counts and cannot be served on a single datacenter GPU (today); this necessitates 2+ GPUs, which increases the minimum inference system cost.
但即使如此,一般人也應該不會有 A100-40G 這種卡,所以很自然的就會想到可以用 ggml 在 CPU 上跑。
This version of KataGo adds support for a new and improved neural net architecture!
這個新的架構以及其他的改善讓訓練的速度改善:
The new neural nets use a new nested residual bottleneck structure, along with other major improvements in training. They train faster than KataGo's old nets and learn more effectively.
另外一個是他把 UEC 比賽時用的 model 放出來了,很特別的是採用 b18c384,而 KataGo Distributed Training 這邊目前主要是 b40c256 與 b60c320,看起來是為了比賽而一次性訓練出來的。
Attached to this release is a one-off net b18c384nbt-uec.bin.gz that was trained for a tournament in 2022, which should be of similar strength to the 60-block nets on http://katagotraining.org/, but on many machines will run much faster, on some machines between 40-block and 60-block speed, but on some machines even as fast as or faster than 40-block.
傳統放大的方法包括 bicubic 與 nearest neighbor,速度很快但是效果就普普通通,而 NN 類的方法的效果遠超過傳統方式,不過速度慢不少。
文章裡面有提到可以指定不同的 NN 模型:
The first parameter is the name of the model. You can choose between: “edsr”, “fsrcnn”, “lapsrn”, “espcn”. It is very important that this model is the correct one for the model you specified in ‘sr.readModel()’. See the Model section on the bottom of the page for the specifications of each model.
To study and detect neural fake news, we built a model named Grover. Our study presents a surprising result: the best way to detect neural fake news is to use a model that is also a generator. The generator is most familiar with its own habits, quirks, and traits, as well as those from similar AI models, especially those trained on similar data, i.e. publicly available news. Our model, Grover, is a generator that can easily spot its own generated fake news articles, as well as those generated by other AIs. In a challenging setting with limited access to neural fake news articles, Grover obtains over 92% accuracy at telling apart human-written from machine-written news.

不過看起來 source code 與 model 還是沒放出來,但看起來遲早會有對應的 open source clone...
意外的看到有人拿 Star Trek 的材料來玩... 依照作者的說明,DS9 一直沒有 Full HD 版的其中一個原因反而是因為「數位化」了。使用類比膠卷的母帶可以透過更高規格的重新掃描而得到高畫質版本,但 DS9 的母帶似乎已經是數位版了,所以反而造成無法透過重新掃描的方式取得 Full HD 版本:
While you can rescan analog film at a higher resolution, video is digital and can't be rescanned. This makes it much costlier to remaster this TV show, which is one of the reasons why it hasn't happened.
