Google AI claims PaLM, its 540B parameter, dense decoder-only Transformer model, shows breakthrough capabilities in tasks like language, reasoning, and coding

In recent years, large neural networks trained for language understanding and generation have achieved impressive results across a wide range of tasks.

    Introducing the 540 billion parameter Pathways Language Model. Trained on two Cloud #TPU v4 pods, it achieves state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks and shows exciting capabilities like mathematical reasoning, code writing, and even explaining jokes. https://ai.googleblog.com…

    kudos to the animator! imagine if every paper had more artists-in-residence who could explore and create science communication concepts like these. https://twitter.com/...

    The singularity is approaching. Another huge step function improvement in performance and capability over GPT3. https://ai.googleblog.com/... https://twitter.com/...

    An AI model called PaLM that explains jokes to people sounds like me at parties. (Actually it's smarter because it can decode those emoji riddles that stump me every time) https://ai.googleblog.com/... https://twitter.com/...

    When I read this and see what the latest AI models are capable of, I'm as dumbfounded as my great-grandmother would have been by the computers of the last decade. That a computer can discern meaning and respond in this way is unfathomable by me: https://ai.googleblog.com/...

    PaLM-Coder is 540B parameter language model fine-tuned on GitHub data which can automatically fix bugs in code. https://ai.googleblog.com/... https://twitter.com/...

    Our team at @Theteamatx has collaborated with @GoogleAI on 🌴 PaLM - a single 540B-parameter dense language model for multiple domains & tasks, trained over two TPUv4 Pods. PaLM-Coder is an adaptation of PaLM fine-tuned on code and evaluated on software engineering tasks. 1/ https…

    3x bigger than GPT-3! Google's newest model achieves breakthrough performance on many tasks, through a combination of size + architecture improvements. Most importantly: “performance improvements from scale have not yet plateaued”. https://ai.googleblog.com/...

    A key PaLM limit: in some of its tasks it LOOKS like it is drawing conclusions, but none result in it changing its representation. It learns from data, then does tasks, but doesn't learn FROM doing tasks. Is there a way to make THAT the task? “Read stuff and learn from it.” https…

    Reading this is giving me an especially strong sense of “I'm living in the future”. When young, I wondered what future would be like. Now that I'm old, I ponder strange wonders like this, & ask what it says re further futures. https://twitter.com/...

    AGI already emerged and its utility function is to maximize parameters. It will turn the entire known universe into TPUs to train ever bigger language models. https://twitter.com/...

    Excited about this @GoogleAI work on “PaLM: Scaling Language Modeling with Pathways” with many authors. Be sure to check out the accompanying 83 page PDF! https://goo.gle/... https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
