Nice new read on tokenization! You've heard about the SolidGoldMagikarp token, which breaks GPT-2 because it was present in the training set of the Tokenizer, but not the LLM later. This paper digs in in a lot more depth and detail, on a lot more models, discovering a less

Data collection is slow and expensive, so we give annotators a little help 🤝. Introducing Generative Annotation Assistants (GAAs) to make data collection more efficient and effective 🚀. Work will be presented at #NAACL2022 in Seattle! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2112.09062 [1/n]

Building best-in-class LLMs requires a rare combination of intuition, resources and an insanely talented team. Intuition can guide you, but you never really know where you're going to end up. So stoked to see how well our models have been received. Thank you for your support! 🙏
