We've used reinforcement learning from human feedback to train language models for summarization. The resulting models produce better summaries than 10x larger models trained only with supervised learning: https://openai.com/blog/learning-to-summarize-with-human-feedback/

4 years ago we started the @ciliumproject@twitter.com. Today, Google announced the availability of Cilium as the new GKE networking dataplane.

What a great honor for everyone who has contributed to the Cilium project and to eBPF overall.

This is the best zero-shot prompt style I've found for generating short poetry snippets with GPT-3 (at default 0.7 temperature and 0/0 penalty rates).

You can also tweak the poem tone by adjusting the student's adjectives (clever, depressed, etc) and name (for mimicking style).

"The quadratic resource requirements of the attention mechanism are the main roadblock in scaling up transformers to long sequences. This paper replaces the full quadratic attention mechanism by a combination of random attention, window attention, and global attention."

"Current prediction markets are so bad in so many different ways that it simply is not surprising for people to know better than them, and it often is not possible for people to make money from knowing better."

Give GPT-3 a color scale and an emoji. Get back new scales based on color of the emoji. HOW DOES IT KNOW.

A surprising result: We found that smooth activation functions are better than ReLU for adversarial training and can lead to substantial improvements in adversarial robustness.

"Specifically, we prove that a multi-head self-attention layer with sufficient number of heads is at least as expressive as any convolutional layer. Our numerical experiments then show that self-attention layers attend to pixel-grid patterns similarly to CNN layers, corroborating our analysis."

https://openai.com/blog/image-gpt/

"We find that, just as a large transformer model trained on language can generate coherent text, the same exact model trained on pixel sequences can generate coherent image completions and samples. By establishing a correlation between sample quality and image classification accuracy, we show that our best generative model also contains features competitive with top convolutional nets in the unsupervised setting."
