<p>This is a small transformer trained from scratch in 1.5hrs on a 5090 that beats many LLMs. Code is open source.<p>I want to solve sample efficiency and this work is an attempt to find the limits of transformers and today's methods while keeping costs low so I can iterate fast.<p>Blog: <a href="https://mvakde.github.io/blog/44-on-arc-1/" rel="nofollow">https://mvakde.github.io/blog/44-on-arc-1/</a>

I'm struggling"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>(1) Use ublock origin to block reels, comment section and other features<p>(2) Wipe history and only watch productive topics on your account. Watch all other videos on incognito - I set up violentmonkey scripts to help. Here's a cool secret: your feed will ONLY be related to the videos in your history. My feed is now ONLY ML and music<p>(3) Delete the app on the phone. Only use youtube through firefox (if you have android) which allows the ublock extension<p>(4) Alternatives like newpipe helped before I stumbled onto this solution<p>You still need a little willpower. Find the strength to not use youtube for 3 weeks. Then it becomes much easier<p>Edit: clarity</p>

<p>You also need to make the CNN recurrent, allow it to unfold over many steps, ensure input and output grid are same size and avoid non-local stuff like global pooling, certain norms, etc.<p>Either way, parent comment is correct. An arbit NN is better than a CA at learning non-local rules unless the global rule can be easily described as a composition of local rules. (They still can learn any global rule though, its just harder and you run into vanishing gradient problems for very distant rules)<p>They are pretty cool with emergent behaviors and sometimes they generalise very well</p>

<p>This is why OS is so important for LLMs and the AI ecosystem in general.<p>Its also why we should not trust large AI corporations that appoint themselves as stewards of "AI safety". If a company that once had the slogan "don't be evil" can do this, so can all the frontier labs</p>
