03ENGINEERING & RESOURCES

ALPACA LORA

Low Rank Adaptation is a method to fine-tune language models by updating only a small subset of the parameters. This repo contains code that assists in tuning the popular Llama models via instruction tuning on consumer hardware due to the reduced computational requirements of Lora.

GLUEGEN: EFFICIENTLY UPGRADING TEXT-TO-IMAGE MODELS WITH GLUENET

The article proposes GlueGen, a method that aligns features from different encoders with the latent space of an existing text-to-image (T2I) model using the GlueNet model and a new training objective. This allows for efficient integration of new functionality, such as multilingual language models and multi-modal encoders, into existing T2I models, enabling sound-to-image generation and upgrading the current text encoder for challenging case generation.

KHAN ACADEMY AND OPENAI

Khan Academy is a nonprofit that offers thousands of lessons in math, science and the humanities for students of all ages. Khan Academy announced that it will use GPT-4 to power Khanmigo, an AI-powered assistant that functions as both a virtual tutor for students and a classroom assistant for teachers. The nonprofit began testing the newest version of OpenAI’s language model in 2022 and will initially make the Khanmigo pilot program available to a limited number of participants, though the public is invited to join the waitlist.
