carapace-bin VS Megatron-LM

It's exciting when something breaks out on its own, and that's what's happened with Carapace. Originally part of a 13-piece project, it now has a major first version and it's a multi-shell completion library and binary. Carapace consists of a pflag fork, a yaml spec, a shell lexer, a completion bridge and various scrapers. Congratulations to the team on shipping your first version 🥳.

I use Carapace which provides completions across tons of shells.

This is probably a good baseline to start thinking about LLM training at scale.

This 20B model was trained on the same datasets as its predecessor, aptly named The Pile. Furthermore, the libraries Megatron and DeepSpeed were used to achieve better computing resource utilization, and eventually GPT-NeoX evolved into its own framework for training other LLMs. It was used, for example, as the foundation for Llemma, an open-source model specializing on theorem proving.

GPU cluster scaling has come a long way. Just checkout the scaling plot here: https://github.com/NVIDIA/Megatron-LM

I found their code that the softmax function conduct all-reduce before they work.

Google's PaLM, Facebook's LLaMA, Nvidia's Megatron, I am missing some surely and Apple sure has something cooking as well but these are the big ones, of course none of them are publicly available, but research papers are reputable. All of the ones mentioned should beat GPT-3 although GPT-3.5 (chatGPT) should be bit better and ability to search (Bing) should level the playing field even further, but Google's PaLM with search functionality should be clearly ahead. This is why people are excited about GPT-4, GPT-3 was way ahead of anyone else when it came out but others were able to catch up since, we'll see if GPT-4 will be another bing jump among LLMs.
