How does one build a coding LLM? Here's how

Open source is very powerful although that may not be as visible yet when it comes to generative AI. StarCoder is a different story though. The scientists behind the StarCoder 2 model did an awesome job training an LLM on code and the best part? They documented how they did it. And the absolute kicker, you can run it yourself. I think this is a must try even if it takes you a weekend.

Introducing GraphRAG with LangChain and Neo4j

The main goal of LangGraph is to overcome the main limitations of traditional LangChain’s chains, that is, the lack of cycles into their runtime; this limitation can be easily bypassed by introducing a graph-like structure which easily introduces cycles into chains that are, by design, directed acyclic graphs (DAGs).

OpenAI’s newest model is GPT-4o

OpenAI is releasing a new flagship generative AI model called GPT-4o, set to roll out “iteratively” across the company’s products over the next few weeks. OpenAI CTO Muri Murati said that GPT-4o provides “GPT-4-level” intelligence but improves on GPT-4’s capabilities across text and vision as well as audio. “GPT-4o reasons across voice, text and vision,” […]

DoRA: Weight-Decomposed Low-Rank Adaptation

DoRA: Weight-Decomposed Low-Rank Adaptation In this work, we first introduce a novel weight decomposition analysis to investigate the inherent differences between FT and LoRA. Aiming to resemble the learning capacity of FT from the findings, we propose Weight-Decomposed LowRank Adaptation (DoRA). DoRA decomposes the pre-trained weight into two components, magnitude and direction, for fine-tuning, specifically employing LoRA for directional updates to efficiently minimize the number of trainable parameters. By employing DoRA, we enhance both the learning capacity and training stability of LoRA while avoiding any additional inference overhead. DoRA consistently outperforms LoRA on fine-tuning LLaMA, LLaVA, and VL-BART on various downstream tasks, such as commonsense reasoning, visual instruction tuning, and image/video-text understanding.
