Blending can help smaller models pack a bigger punch, and while self-attention mechanisms are critical to LLM architecture, do you actually understand how they work? Check out our roundup of the top generative AI and LLM articles for February 2024!

Evolution of Models at Pinterest

Pinterest has 480 million monthly active users! The ML team had to experiment with, iterate, and launch several state-of-the-art model architectures to serve all of them. Take a technical deep dive into the team's approach to this model evolution: https://medium.com/pinterest-engineering/evolution-of-ads-conversion-optimization-models-at-pinterest-84b244043d51

Understanding and Coding Self-Attention, Multi-Head Attention, Cross-Attention, and Causal-Attention in LLMs

Pop quiz: What's the difference between multi-head attention, cross-attention, and casual-attention in LLMs?

Whether you're using GPT-4, Llama 2, or most other LLMs, they all rely on self-attention mechanisms as a critical component of their transformer architecture. Learn why they're important and how they work: https://magazine.sebastianraschka.com/p/understanding-and-coding-self-attentio

Blending Is All You Need: Cheaper, Better Alternative to Trillion-Parameters LLM

Can a team of smaller models defeat a singular large model?

With massive LLMs costing more and more to operate, demanding tons of energy, maybe going smaller is the key! Researchers have found integrating just three moderate-sized models (6B/13B parameters) can outcompete ChatGPT and its 175B+ parameters: https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.02994
