LLM hype critic Gary Marcus argues in a conversation with chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov that large language models only create the appearance of understanding, not genuine intelligence. The article Gary Marcus calls the belief in LLM understanding one of "the most profound illusions of our time" appeared first on THE DECODER.

Wondering what you’re missing out on? Here are our favorite smartphones not officially sold stateside but are available in markets like the UK and Europe.
Latvian language-tech firm Tilde has released TildeOpen LLM, an open-source foundational large language model (LLM) purpose-built for European languages, with a sharp focus on under-represented and smaller national and regional languages. It’s a strategic leap toward linguistic equity and digital sovereignty within the EU. Under the Hood: Architecture, Training and Governance Language Equity and Data […] The post Tilde AI Releases TildeOpen LLM: An Open-Source Large Language Model with Over 30 Billion Parameters and Support Most European Languages appeared first on MarkTechPost.
Large language models (LLMs) very often generate “hallucinations”—confident yet incorrect outputs that appear plausible. Despite improvements in training methods and architectures, hallucinations persist. A new research from OpenAI provides a rigorous explanation: hallucinations stem from statistical properties of supervised versus self-supervised learning, and their persistence is reinforced by misaligned evaluation benchmarks. What Makes Hallucinations Statistically […] The post From Pretraining to Post-Training: Why Language Models Hallucinate and How Evaluation Methods Reinforce the Problem appeared first on MarkTechPost.
In this advanced DeepSpeed tutorial, we provide a hands-on walkthrough of cutting-edge optimization techniques for training large language models efficiently. By combining ZeRO optimization, mixed-precision training, gradient accumulation, and advanced DeepSpeed configurations, the tutorial demonstrates how to maximize GPU memory utilization, reduce training overhead, and enable scaling of transformer models in resource-constrained environments, such as […] The post Implementing DeepSpeed for Scalable Transformers: Advanced Training with Gradient Checkpointing and Parallelism appeared first on MarkTechPost.
A few years ago, artist Modern Biology became a viral sensation when he posted videos of himself controlling a modular synth with mushrooms on TikTok. Pocket Scion gives anyone similar capabilities, but without having to spend thousands of dollars on a Eurorack rig – and in a much more portable package. A core part of […]
