A large language model (LLM) is a type of artificial intelligence system that is trained on vast amounts of text data to generate human-like responses to input text. LLMs use deep learning techniques to understand and generate natural language with high fluency and coherence. They can engage in open-ended dialogue, answer follow-up questions, and assist with a wide variety of language tasks like summarization, translation, and creative writing.
As the field of large language models continues its rapid advancement, a key area meriting further research is the balance between model parameter count and numerical precision. While traditionally focusing on 32-bit or 16-bit floating point representations, recent explorations have unveiled the promise of quantizing…
Continue reading...What is Mamba? Before we dive into using Mamba models with the text-generation WebUI, let’s first understand what Mamba is. Mamba is a new type of language model architecture that offers an alternative to the widely-used Transformer models. It’s called a “linear time, state-space model,”…
