AITHENTIC
Andrew Ng Explores The Rise Of AI Agents And Agentic Reasoning Why have agentic workflows been built into applications? Four major design patterns: 1. Reflection 2. Tool Use 3. Planning 4. Multi-agent Collaboration As we enjoy demystifying this new world full of unfamiliar terminologies—soon to be accessible even to those without a tech background—we highly recommend setting aside 20 minutes to watch this video. At AITHENTIC, we collaborate with industry experts to deliver solutions that utilize a unique knowledge-capture process and tooling. This process extracts experiential knowledge directly from your experts, transforming it into DXAs that preserve critical insights that might otherwise be lost. The captured knowledge is then scaled and applied across your operations, ensuring continuity and improvement, even as team members come and go.

Quanta Standard Inc.
🔬 Interesting insights from Microsoft Azure! We're thrilled to share Dr. Krysta M. Svore's recent post on defining logical qubits and criteria for resilient quantum computation. Understanding the path towards scaled quantum computing is crucial for the industry's progress and the development of a robust strategy to build a quantum-ready community. In June 2023, Microsoft Azure outlined the three implementation levels necessary for achieving utility-scale quantum computing: Level 1 Foundational, Level 2 Resilient, and Level 3 Scale. Currently, all quantum computing technologies are at Level 1, and while NISQ machines have been developed, they do not offer practical quantum advantage. 🚀 The next critical step towards Level 3 Scale is demonstrating resilient quantum computation on a logical qubit. Resilience, in this context, means showing that quantum error correction enhances non-trivial quantum computation. However, demonstrating resilience with just one logical qubit is not enough. It's essential to showcase the interaction between logical qubits and the entanglement they generate. Therefore, demonstrating two logical qubits performing an error-corrected computation that outperforms the same computation on physical qubits will mark a significant milestone in the field's history. 🌌 This advancement highlights the ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of quantum computing, paving the way for practical quantum advantage. Join us in the journey towards achieving scaled quantum computing! #Microsoft #MiddleMarket #Simulator #Supercomputer #MicrosoftAzure #QuantumComputing #QuantaStandard

🚀 Exploring #LoRA and Full Finetuning in Large Language Models 🧵👇 🔍 New Research from Columbia University & Databricks Mosaic AI! 1️⃣ Instruction Finetuning with 100K Prompt-Response Pairs - 🔹 Finding: Full finetuning outperforms LoRA in specialized tasks like programming and math. - 🔹 Insight: Full finetuning adapts better to specific tasks, while LoRA's regularization maintains broader task performance. 2️⃣ Continued Pretraining with 10B Unstructured Tokens - 🔹Finding: Full finetuning excels in target domains, LoRA retains base model capabilities in other tasks. - 🔹 Insight: Full finetuning’s adaptability leads to better target task performance, but LoRA preserves a wider skill set. 3️⃣ Regularization Effectiveness - 🔹 Finding: LoRA offers stronger regularization than weight decay and dropout. - 🔹 Insight: LoRA maintains performance across diverse tasks and generates more varied outputs. Great for general-purpose use! 4️⃣ Rank of Learned Perturbations - 🔹 Finding: Full finetuning learns perturbations with a rank 10-100x higher than typical LoRA configs. - 🔹 Insight: Higher rank explains full finetuning’s performance but comes with higher memory and computational costs. 5️⃣ Best Practices for Finetuning with LoRA - 🔹 Finding: Proposes strategies for balancing target task performance and broader model capabilities. - 🔹 Insight: Achieving a balance between specialization and generalization leverages LoRA’s regularization benefits. Conclusion - Full finetuning maximizes specific domain performance but at higher costs and risk of overfitting. - LoRA provides a balanced approach, maintaining broader capabilities with less computational power.
