1/16/2024: ArtificialAnalysis - a new model/host benchmark site
Artificial Analysis launched a new models and hosts comparison site, highlighted by swyx. Nous Research AI Discord discussed innovative summarization techniques using NVIDIA 3090 and 2080ti GPUs for processing around 100k tokens, and adapting prompts for smaller models like OpenChat 7B. The availability of Hermes 2 Mixtral on Huggingface's HuggingChat was noted, alongside fine-tuning challenges with Mixtral using Axolotl. Discussions included byte-level tokenization experiments with Byte Mistral, multimodal training on COCO image bytes, and inference speed improvements using vllm and llama.cpp. Calls for transparency in data sharing and open-sourcing the Hermes 2 Mixtral dataset were emphasized, with comparisons of dpo and sft methods and quantized LLM use on M1 MacBook Pro.
