FlashAttention-3, the latest release in the FlashAttention series, has been designed to address the inherent bottlenecks of the attention layer in Transformer architectures. These bottlenecks are crucial for the performance of large language models (LLMs) and applications requiring long-context processing. The FlashAttention series, including its predecessors FlashAttention and FlashAttention-2, has revolutionized how attention mechanisms operate…
One of the emerging challenges in artificial intelligence is whether next-token prediction can truly model human intelligence, particularly in planning and reasoning. Despite its extensive application in modern language models, this method might be inherently limited when it comes to tasks that require advanced foresight and decision-making capabilities. This challenge is significant as overcoming it…
Vision-language models have evolved significantly over the past few years, with two distinct generations emerging. The first generation, exemplified by CLIP and ALIGN, expanded on large-scale classification pretraining by utilizing web-scale data without requiring extensive human labeling. These models used caption embeddings obtained from language encoders to broaden the vocabulary for classification and retrieval tasks.…
Natural Language Processing (NLP) focuses on the interaction between computers and humans through natural language. It encompasses tasks such as translation, sentiment analysis, and question answering, utilizing large language models (LLMs) to achieve high accuracy and performance. LLMs are employed in numerous applications, from automated customer support to content generation, showcasing remarkable proficiency in diverse…
Existing open-source large multimodal models (LMMs) face several significant limitations. They often lack native integration and require adapters to align visual representations with pre-trained large language models (LLMs). Many LMMs are restricted to single-modal generation or rely on separate diffusion models for visual modeling and generation. These limitations introduce complexity and inefficiency in both training…
The rapid advancement of LLMs has enabled the creation of highly capable autonomous agents. However, multi-agent frameworks need help integrating diverse third-party agents due to ecosystem constraints and limited by single-device setups and rigid communication pipelines. Inspired by the Internet’s success in fostering human collaboration through projects like Wikipedia and Linux, a key question arises:…
Deep learning systems must be highly integrated and have access to vast amounts of computational resources to function properly. Consequently, building massive data centers with hundreds of specialized hardware accelerators is becoming increasingly necessary for large-scale applications. The best course of action is to move away from central model inference and toward decentral model inference,…
Significant issues arise when programming knowledge and task assistants based on Large Language Models (LLMs) carefully follow developer-provided policies. To satisfy the requests and demands of users, these agents must reliably retrieve and provide accurate and pertinent information. However, a typical problem with these agents is that they tend to respond in an unjustified manner,…
Pretrained large models have shown impressive abilities in many different fields. Recent research focuses on ensuring these models align with human values and avoid harmful behaviors. To achieve this, alignment methods are crucial, where two primary methods are supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF). RLHF is useful in generalizing the reward…
Large language models (LLMs) have been instrumental in various applications, such as chatbots, content creation, and data analysis, due to their capability to process vast amounts of textual data efficiently. The rapid advancement in AI technology has heightened the demand for high-quality training data, which is essential for effectively functioning and improving these models. One…
