HOW TO ERASE HARRY POTTER FROM LLAMA 2

LLMs have been trained on massive amounts of data, much of which is copyright protected. Removing or unlearning such data is a challenge. This work uses a proxy model as a teacher to simulate a clean model and further fine-tunes the base model, which reduces knowledge of undesirable information while maintaining benchmark performance.

HOW AMD MIGHT GET ACROSS THE CUDA MOAT

There is a heavy shortage of GPUs for the current AI demand. Many services have long queue times or are restricting access as a result. If other chip makers can overcome some of their software deficiencies, maybe via recent Pytorch improvements, they may be able to compete for some of this demand.

AI is often misunderstood as a one-size-fits-all solution, but businesses need to recognize that it's merely a tool, and not every business requires it. Identifying genuine problems and needs should precede technology adoption, rather than trying to retrofit AI solutions where they may not be needed or beneficial.
