bmk#1476: aight sounds good Daj#7482: Got my GPT3 invite too yay Noa Nabeshima#0290: me too 🙂 Noa Nabeshima#0290: We should try some fine-tuning when it becomes available Daj#7482: I think we can ask for access to the finetuning API Noa Nabeshima#0290: But what are going to finetune it on that it hasn't meta-learned? Daj#7482: That's the bigger question haha Noa Nabeshima#0290: I feel like I need to make an API because I said I would Noa Nabeshima#0290: but I have no good ideas Noa Nabeshima#0290: It seems like a super cool thing to do Noa Nabeshima#0290: Okaay, here's an idea Sid#2121: i had no idea there was a finetuning API Noa Nabeshima#0290: Show it examples of personal assistant requests and formal answers Like remind me to do X tomorrow at Y ~> (Reminder "Do X at Y" 07-15-2020) Sid#2121: Maybe we'll get our own GPT3 before we get access to it lol : ) Noa Nabeshima#0290: Maybe train it to ask for intermediary prompts for clarification Daj#7482: Collecting a dataset like that will be the limiting factor I think Noa Nabeshima#0290: Give it enough examples with some simple formal output Daj#7482: It's a cool idea though Noa Nabeshima#0290: And then actually create the assistant
Noa Nabeshima#0290: yeah Daj#7482: Pretty sure the Google/Siri people aren't gonna share their data hah Sid#2121: would it need finetuning to be a personal assistant tho ? Noa Nabeshima#0290: @Sid I think so if you want it to interface with say google calendar and gmail. I have faith it can be done with few examples Noa Nabeshima#0290: Praise scaling Sid#2121: i mean, i don't see why that needs gpt Daj#7482: Do you need finetuning if few shot works so good? Sid#2121: just voice to txt then parsing text Noa Nabeshima#0290: Maybe not @Daj Daj#7482: > just voice to txt then parsing text @Sid But _big LM model goes blahblahblah_ Noa Nabeshima#0290: > i mean, i don't see why that needs gpt @Sid I think voice assistants are bad at NLP Sid#2121: with stuff like "set reminder at" I wouldn't want it to be fuzzily recognizing my commands lol Noa Nabeshima#0290: The current ones are crazy large GOFAI as far as I know Sid#2121: "hmmm maybe i should wake up earlier tomorrow" you say to yourself. *the next morning* GPT-PERSONAL-ASSISTANT "GET THE FUCK UP BOZO" Sid#2121: i'm also just skeptical of personal assistants in general and alexa should be burned with fire Noa Nabeshima#0290: I love Alexa Daj#7482: tbh if GPT managed my sleep schedule it'd probably be healthier
Daj#7482: haha nah actually surisingly my schedule is good lately Noa Nabeshima#0290: Ooh I wonder if you could get it to consistently w/o profanity or messing up tell good children's stories Noa Nabeshima#0290: 'Pirate stories', 'Fairytales', 'Sci-Fi' Daj#7482: Oooh interesting idea Sid#2121: lmao, child management ideas Sid#2121: gpt, put my kid to bed Daj#7482: The new version of the TV babysitter Daj#7482: What could go wrong? Sid#2121: and suddenly the child grows up thinking horses have six legs and ice bounces Daj#7482: I've heard kids that believe dumber things hah Sid#2121: How can we make LM's understanding of physics better Sid#2121: how do we make multimodal models Daj#7482: _Deepmind has entered the chat_ Daj#7482: That's the million (/billion/trillion) dollar question Sid#2121: Yeah. Let's get GPT-Neo working then maybe someone will pay us to look into it Daj#7482: If only research actually worked like that lol Sid#2121: I just want GAN + LM Daj#7482: We gotta be our own research lab Daj#7482: We have daddy Google Sid#2121: papa goggle
Daj#7482: Realistically it's really astounding how far a bunch of totally unafiliated and unorganized dudes on a discord got already just because Google had spare compute laying around Sid#2121: to be honest, I am still so confused about why google is giving out so much compute. Do ppl really hate TPUs that much Sid#2121: and I mean yeah. It's been like a week lol. The Pile is growing steadily, and we have a mesh model about to run Daj#7482: Apparently they do? I dunno I asked the guy in charge that exact question and his answer was basically "Dunno it doesn't cost us much and we thought it'd be cool" Sid#2121: it is cool papa goggle. It is cool. Sid#2121: Like, don't they wanna use those TPUs for their world domination? I guess they're already pretty much done Sid#2121: They probably have something better and secret stashed away hah Daj#7482: I'm pretty sure the reason we don't get access to 2048s is because Google is using those internally Daj#7482: Or renting them out Daj#7482: e.g. GShard Sid#2121: ok so Sid#2121: i know you're studying, but GPTneo is ready to go Sid#2121: where's the data, and what're the tpu deets again? Daj#7482: GO BRR Daj#7482: Posted the details in Daj#7482: #gpt-neox-devs Daj#7482: can repost Sid#2121: and am i fine to delete the GPTNeo repo on your server and reclone Daj#7482: Yes JonathanFly#4262: Joined the server.
Daj#7482: Hey @JonathanFly ! Welcome to MIT License OpenAI! Check the channel topic for info on what we're doing and what you can do to help, if you want. Daj#7482: Also, I think I follow you on Twitter hah Sid#2121: 👋 Sid#2121: we're getting a proper webring going here, our new tfmesh nation is gathering steam JonathanFly#4262: I haven't done anything with TPUS and won't be any help there, just checking in on progress Sid#2121: we're just trying to run our first model, you picked a good time to come Daj#7482: Love your work 👍 Daj#7482: Yea no worries, feel free to lurk of course Daj#7482: Today might be the first running of our code...if we're lucky hah JonathanFly#4262: Did you get anything close to a GPT-3 dataset? Seems like the hardest part Sid#2121: in progress Sid#2121: it's gonna take a lot of CPU Sid#2121: if you do want to help, that part actually requires no tpu knowledge. But also this is a lurk friendly zone 🙂 Daj#7482: It's tedious but surprisingly doable to get data like that Sid#2121: ye, the hardest part by far (so far) has been building the model Daj#7482: Or rather, debugging the TPUs haha asparagui#6391: do you all have tpu access? Sid#2121: they're @Daj 's tpus Daj#7482: Yup we're all sharing a VM asparagui#6391: what's the size/limits/time they gave you?
Daj#7482: I was one of the very first people in TFRC, have met them personally, etc, so I think they give me a bit of special treatment. I've had a preemptible v3-2048 and a handful of v3-8s basically whenever I ask for it asparagui#6391: ahh kk Sid#2121: do you think with a poc we could get a non-preemptible 1024 / 2048 or is that unheard of Daj#7482: Unheard of from what I know. When I talked to Zak (the guy in charge), he basically said the preemptibles are almost free for them because they rent the big TPUs out to big companies on yearly contracts Daj#7482: Instead of per hour Daj#7482: So when they're not in use it's "free" for us to use them Daj#7482: But who knows, weirder things have happened asparagui#6391: what does your preemptible workflow look like Sid#2121: what kinda time can you get 1024s for ? Sid#2121: We're using tpunicorn from @shawwn it's super nice Daj#7482: I haven't really done empirical tests on pod availabilities Daj#7482: I just know 2048 is basically never available, 512 is almost always available, and I've never seen 128 not available asparagui#6391: i guess my question is how do you share state between jobs asparagui#6391: eg tpu1 --> working --> prempted --> start tpu2 --> checkpoint? Daj#7482: Yup, checkpoints Daj#7482: I mean, we haven't even run models long enough for that, but I wouldn't know of any more clever way of doing that asparagui#6391: that's the only way i know asparagui#6391: did a workflow where had a kube controller to spin up a new tpu with the job when the first one died asparagui#6391: will look at this software asparagui#6391: eg tpunicorn
Sid#2121: > eg tpu1 --> working --> prempted --> start tpu2 --> checkpoint? @asparagui this would be a nice thing to get sorted Daj#7482: Pretty sure that's what `pu babysit` is for Daj#7482: (from tpunicorn) Sid#2121: oh really? Sid#2121: i was meaning to ask how to use that Daj#7482: It basically starts the worker process, checks if a TPU is preempted, if so it kills the process, recreates the TPU, then once it's up runs the command again Daj#7482: iirc Sid#2121: We'll need to sort out our broken checkpoint loading before we use that lol Daj#7482: Oh is it officially broken? I thought it was just because it errored? Sid#2121: well i think it's if it gets cut off midway through saving a ckpt maybe? Sid#2121: I'm not 100% Daj#7482: That's worth testing psgeorge#6388: Joined the server. bmk#1476: hello! Sid#2121: @Daj we should link back to tpupod in a #communities channel to make the webring complete Daj#7482: Sure one sec Daj#7482: It is done Daj#7482: Someone post the link there with a little description pls bmk#1476: do other discord webrings exist?
bmk#1476: or are we the first to bring the glory of the webring to discord Sid#2121: 🤷 Sid#2121: what other AI discords are there? bmk#1476: not sure bmk#1476: 2min papers? bmk#1476: i'm in the discord but i dont really visit Sid#2121: i thought i remember someone saying there was an AI dungeon discord? Sid#2121: or was it a slack bmk#1476: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Daj#7482: We are the OG Discord AI webring Daj#7482: This is our claim to fame Sid#2121: shawwn says ```also IMO rename #webring to #communities and maybe stick it under its own category``` bmk#1476: and call the category 1997 webring for completeness Skylion#0368: Joined the server. Sid#2121: Hey @Skylion ! Sid#2121: welcome welcome bmk#1476: hey skylion! Skylion#0368: Anyway, you should focus on trying to get similar performance with more efficient transfomer archs Sid#2121: We could use all the advice we can get Skylion#0368: There are ones that claim to have O(N) attention instead of O(N^2)
Sid#2121: got any links to papers? bmk#1476: is this a continuation of a convo elsewhere? Sid#2121: yeah sorry Sid#2121: @Skylion thinks we won't be able to replicate GPT-3 bmk#1476: why not? bmk#1476: I'm curious Sid#2121: hasn't got to that part yet bmk#1476: we have about 70% of the tech that OA used Skylion#0368: Reformer for instnace, but I think that one is out of date. bmk#1476: currently we're trying to figure the last 30%, mostly gpipe bmk#1476: so we've settled on local attention + regular attention layers here and there Sid#2121: "last 30%" might be optimistic bmk#1476: last 50% Sid#2121: altho I haven't looked into GPipe *at all* so, i don't know how complex it is Skylion#0368: GPIPE is attrocious Sid#2121: need to read the paper bmk#1476: the code or the idea? bmk#1476: i can understand if the cose is bad Skylion#0368: All the models are defined in YAML if I recall Skylion#0368: It's rough
bmk#1476: we dont have to use their exact code tied into lingvo though bmk#1476: also if we dont have that many sections we can maybe even do without gpipe Skylion#0368: https://github.com/tensorflow/lingvo/blob/master/lingvo/core/gpipe.pyhttps://github.com/tensorflow/lingvo/blob/master/lingvo/core/gpipe.py Skylion#0368: Oh okay bmk#1476: it only becomes a real problem when every layer is on a different device Sid#2121: @Skylion do you want an invite to our repo? it'd be super valuable to have someone who knows lots about this stuff looking over our code bmk#1476: ^ Sid#2121: no worries if you're busy tho Skylion#0368: Sure why not bmk#1476: we need all the help we can get, haha Skylion#0368: Busy, but I might be able to take look Skylion#0368: Skylion007 is the Github Sid#2121: @Daj can you do the honours Sid#2121: (I think he's asleep so it might be a while) Sid#2121: but - you never said - why do you think it can't be done? Sid#2121: and *shouldn't* lol. bmk#1476: also do you have the code used to process open webtext corpus still handy? We want to collect the new WebText2 that's basically the same thing as the first one but with more links Daj#7482: Still awake one sec Daj#7482: Sent Daj#7482: I will fix the webring tomorrow, mobile discord isn't letting me move things around
bmk#1476: for some reason i have to make the batch size *really small* to fit it on the 512 ;-; bmk#1476: even with data parallel Daj#7482: For the record I consider our chances of fully replicating GPT3 to not be top quartile either but it doesn't matter it's fun and educative and we'll make something cool Sid#2121: which confiiiiiig Sid#2121: ^^ yeah bmk#1476: ```{ "n_head": 32, "encoder_path": "gs://datasets_storage_1/models/encoder", "n_vocab": 50257, "embed_dropout": 0.1, "lr": 0.00025, "warmup_steps": 0, "beta1": 0.9, "beta2": 0.98, "epsilon": 1e-9, "opt_name": "adam", "weight_decay": 0.00, "train_batch_size": 64, "attn_dropout": 0.1, "train_steps": 10000,

Sid#2121: n_ctx is only 128 bmk#1476: marginally bmk#1476: wait i thought it was 1024 ;-; Daj#7482: 1.5B plus Adam is way too big for a single core by default bmk#1476: can someone add adafactor Sid#2121: shall i push an adafactor opt? it's a simple change Sid#2121: ah bmk#1476: yeah go ahead Sid#2121: yeah i'll do it
Daj#7482: And I'm sure the model parallelism is adding some overhead somewhere bmk#1476: @Daj how many adafactor batch size can you fit on 512? bmk#1476: pre-meshtf Skylion#0368: Don't use Adam Sid#2121: yeah we should check the reshapes Daj#7482: 512, one per core Skylion#0368: Use the other optimizer bmk#1476: 512!?? Daj#7482: That was how I trained, with adafactor Skylion#0368: Yeah Skylion#0368: Adafactor != Adam Sid#2121: ok ok let me add adafactor Daj#7482: Why not skylion? OA used adam Sid#2121: didn't OA use Adam tho ? Skylion#0368: Nah, they used Adafactor Sid#2121: really?? Skylion#0368: Yeah Daj#7482: This is news to me Daj#7482: Their paper says adam Daj#7482: And my email exchange with them
Skylion#0368: It was my understnading they used Adam until they go to Big and Very Big models Daj#7482: Don't get me wrong it's good news if true lol Skylion#0368: but I could be misremembering. Skylion#0368: Like they used Adam for medium and small Daj#7482: Is this GPT2 or 3? bmk#1476: > To train all versions of GPT-3, we use Adam withβ1= 0.9,β2= 0.95 Skylion#0368: GPT-2 Daj#7482: Interesting Skylion#0368: Ah, for GPT-3 they probably used Adam because it's only a 2X memory penalty Skylion#0368: who cares when they have that many GPUs 😛 Daj#7482: Guess that excludes another possible source of failure for my old model bmk#1476: how do we know they used adafactor? bmk#1476: the detail doesnt appear in the paper Daj#7482: Yea I just used if because it worked, but I've never heard GPT2 being trained with adafactor Sid#2121: added adafactor bmk#1476: nice i'll try it next Sid#2121: also sanity check - is this how to use decay in adafactor? i just copied from adam https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/732697689015320736/Screenshot_2020-07-14_at_22.38.05.png bmk#1476: o.O Sid#2121: we'll also need to include ada_epsilon1 and ada_epsilon2 in any configs bmk#1476: what
Sid#2121: what bmk#1476: this does not look right at all why did the original code look like this Sid#2121: the decay rate setting?? bmk#1476: yeah bmk#1476: i am very confused Sid#2121: I'm pretty sure that was in Daj's code Daj#7482: Because I was experimentig I think? Daj#7482: I don't remember Daj#7482: Lol bmk#1476: this does not look right Daj#7482: Then please fix thx Sid#2121: for both opts?? bmk#1476: i dont know if it'll be more right if we change it tho Daj#7482: I haven't looked at this code in detail in like a year Sid#2121: just the weight decay setting right bmk#1476: dont change anything yet bmk#1476: i'm not confident that it's *more* correct if we change it Daj#7482: I'm pretty confident in my own fallibility hah bmk#1476: whatever it's currently set to 0 so nothing will change bmk#1476: ``` File "gpt2_mesh.py", line 532

Sid#2121: am i misunderstanding bmk#1476: yes, 32x smaller than the 512 we should be getting Sid#2121: i thought you had bigger batches earlier Sid#2121: @bmk remember when i said we could add a print statement if it's doing the inefficient reshapes Sid#2121: we shld do that bmk#1476: Sure go ahead bmk#1476: We're having ooms though bmk#1476: So some way of visualizing how memory is being used would be nice bmk#1476: full attention is broken bmk#1476: we need to fix that Sid#2121: @bmk you still testing? which tpu are you using Sid#2121: ah actually my time would be better spent on data stuff rn bmk#1476: nope bmk#1476: im done
bmk#1476: cant get more than a few dozen batch size ;-; bmk#1476: what the hell bmk#1476: i dont think daj used bf16 for the original gpt2 either bmk#1476: we really need to do some serious optimization bmk#1476: like, we cant even do the 512 batch size bmk#1476: And this isn't even full attention bmk#1476: This is local attention bmk#1476: What are we doing wrong Sid#2121: I wish i knew :/ I mean, the main changes are to the attention right? bmk#1476: And the whole mtf Sid#2121: well yeah bmk#1476: There's no way local attention uses *more* memory bmk#1476: And slicing it up, worst case, should have no effect Sid#2121: i'm giving mtf the benefit of the doubt tho and assuming their code doesn't just increase memory usage by a ton but who knows bmk#1476: Doing the 512 batch with data parallel only doesn't run, it only ooms Sid#2121: I really think this is the point we get in touch with TF-M people Sid#2121: we've built a half-functioning model and i'm sure they'd be happy to have a fully functioning gpt made with their library to show off Sid#2121: it might just be that we're doing something we shouldn't be doing with tf-m, and they'll spot it right away Sid#2121: like, they have about three models to show made with tf-mesh bmk#1476: yeah ok
bmk#1476: who here has the charisma necessary bmk#1476: "Noam Shazeer" sounds like the main person we need to contact bmk#1476: First author on the paper and active committer on the repo Sid#2121: ye Sid#2121: i found a few of the people on twitter the other day hah Sid#2121: I can write a message tomorrow bmk#1476: Alright sounds good bmk#1476: Hol up bmk#1476: Shazeer is one of the authors on Gshard bmk#1476: Maybe we can get him to hook us up with Gshard too Sid#2121: shazeeeeer Sid#2121: he's our man bmk#1476: Also it appears he has near legendary status bmk#1476: Also he seems to be an adherent of the moar params camp bmk#1476: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/732731897506955334/IMG_20200714_165428.jpg bmk#1476: Even understanding how to use mtf is difficult, I imagine creating mtf in the first place must have been the work of an ascended TF master Sid#2121: i feel like there's a galaxy brain meme here somewhere but i'm too tired to open PS Sid#2121: but yeah, seems like he'd be interested Sid#2121: Colin Raffel also seems to get around the various Moar Params models Sid#2121: also grring at that image since mesh tensorflow is only increasing our memory consumption rn
Sid#2121: Oh wow, Noam Shazeer co-authored Attention is all you need Sid#2121: didn't realize Sid#2121: seems like a big deal zitterbewegung#4846: does anyone feel like more params = better zitterbewegung#4846: do you think there will be diminishing returns? bmk#1476: the modus operandi of libreai *is* moar params = moar better bmk#1476: welcome to actually open™ ai! Sid#2121: Hey @Key ! let us know if you want a task 🙂 there's plenty to do. And welcome to something something we're more open than OA something tagline arfa#0882: What kinds of tasks do you have? Sid#2121: Check out #documentation Sid#2121: Lots of data gathering to do, uhh, if you want something a bit in depth we need to figure out how to do sampling from a model Sid#2121: (Also the google doc in the channel description will get you all the useful info ) Sid#2121: That’s what I meant to refer you to when I linked to documentation. arfa#0882: Are the cloud buckets really that expensive? Our tensorfork buckets are several TB each Sid#2121: Data cleaning (i.e de duplication, pdf cleaning) will also be an important step. We’re trying to gather a Books3 dataset from questionable-ish origins that will be one of our main competitive advantages over OA Sid#2121: Hmmm idk. We’re open to any suggestions but we need a place to store / process all the data before we put it onto the bucket, so we have a hetzner. Price calculations / storage etc are things I haven’t really been dealing w though. Sid#2121: If you can turn any of the sources in #data-sources into #datascripts , that’d also be awesome psgeorge#6388: Thought about contacting https://www.reddit.com/user/-Archivist? He has all the data you'll need I'd wager. archivus#7382: Joined the server. archivus#7382: here to monitor progress 🙂

Price calculations / storage etc are things I haven’t really been dealing w though. @Sid Storing & Processing on a hetzner because data processing on gcloud is difficult or expensive? archivus#7382: v expensive on buckets - you're charged on data egress psgeorge#6388: > Thought about contacting https://www.reddit.com/user/-Archivist? He has all the data you'll need I'd wager. Best way to reach him is probably a DM on reddit, or he's part of an active discord somewhere. psgeorge#6388: He probably has the best access to internet data (from all sources) in the world. psgeorge#6388: > v expensive on buckets - you're charged on data egress @archivus ah okay. We've got a load of Google Cloud credits so haven't looked much elsewhere. Sid#2121: @psgeorge who is this person. Thanks for the link! Will take a look later Sid#2121: @archivus 👋 welcome psgeorge#6388: The Archivist is someone dedicated to archiving the entirety of the internet. He believes it's super important that someone is keeping track of everything that's happening. He has a load of his own stuff crawling the web, but he also has a load greyhat people donating huge data dumps to him. He's currently somewhat pursued by law enforcement... but definitely the guy to talk to about data for training something like this psgeorge#6388: if you're okay with non-kosher Sid#2121: Oh this is incredibly up our street. We have a whole secret channel dedicated to non-kosher 😎 Sid#2121: Somewhat pursued by law enforcement only sweetens the deal. How come? Is there somewhere I can read about him? psgeorge#6388: @Sid from time to time he's actively trying to proliferate his data archives because of (rightful) paranoia that he'll get caught & his work will have been for nothing psgeorge#6388: He has an ethical code though e.g. wants to give it to people who will Do Good with it Sid#2121: That’s awesome. I wonder if we can get him to join the server. I’ll try and reach out later today! Daj#7482: Interesting discussions and nice to see this many interesting people around 👍 Daj#7482: Today I have to really study and do some traveling so I'll be keeping Discord closed, ping me if someone needs me
aster#3007: Joined the server. Deleted User#0000: Joined the server. Sid#2121: 👋👋👋 kindiana#1016: Joined the server. Sid#2121: Hey @kindiana Sid#2121: Welcome to The AGI Wranglers! Check the channel description and resources channels for info and don't hesitate to ask if you have questions 🙂 Sid#2121: your tokenization sounds super interesting Sid#2121: when can we expect paper heh kindiana#1016: thanks! AAAI's deadline is sept 9 so hopefully before then 😛 , but I'm happy to discuss it here if y'all promise to not shout it from the rooftops 🙂 kindiana#1016: hint: attention is _really_ all you need Sid#2121: *oh* Sid#2121: do go on Sid#2121: we have a secret channel if you'd prefer Sid#2121: I can't invite you, i'd have to get @Daj to do it Daj#7482: Who am I inviting where? Sid#2121: @kindiana is working on a new tokenization method, which i think could help us out a lot Daj#7482: Ooooh very underappreciated area Sid#2121: but doesn't really want to discuss it in public, since he's writing a paper Sid#2121: i figured we could use yarr harr or make a new private channel Sid#2121: (since this place is getting quite busy anyway)
Daj#7482: Sure! Sid#2121: I posted @kindiana's gist up in #links Daj#7482: Give me like 5 minutes Sid#2121: sorry to distract! Daj#7482: Eh it's fine, I'm probably as prepared as I'm gonna be anyways Sid#2121: when's the exam Daj#7482: Tomorrow Daj#7482: It's an easy test, I just didn't do shit for it hah bmk#1476: Did you send the email to mesh tf yet @Sid Sid#2121: nah sorry i got sucked into stylegan debugging but i can start writing it now Sid#2121: do we even have an address to send it to? Sid#2121: summary of what we want to say: ```- we're an independent research group trying to build GPT-3 + variants - using tfmesh library but having some problems with memory consumption - ask about splitting layers - do we ask if they can glance at our code?``` Sid#2121: pls add bmk#1476: [email protected] Sid#2121: oh nice Sid#2121: should i cc in some others bmk#1476: Sure Sid#2121: where did you find that? bmk#1476: The paper bmk#1476: Gshard first author: [email protected]
bmk#1476: Also try begging them for Gshard Sid#2121: i keep getting gshard and gpipe confused, hah Sid#2121: i'd also be interested *which* dimensions we should and can split exactly, and what's the best practice for our wpe / wte stuff Sid#2121: but that's i guess not a question for them Sid#2121: I found a good talk by noam in my insomnia stage last night i'll post it up in a bit bmk#1476: [email protected] second author on Gshard, author on mtf Sid#2121: it's basically a rehashing of the tfm talk but with some extras bmk#1476: [email protected] mtf second author bmk#1476: Your call which of these we want to CC Sid#2121: [email protected] & [email protected] are active tf-mesh maintainers but i don't know if we want to just cc everyone lol Sid#2121: i'd also feel more comfortable having more concrete questions Sid#2121: before we ask about memory consumption we should use the cloud tpu profiling tool to see if we can find the problem bmk#1476: Hmm bmk#1476: Also I just saw the thing about Archivist should we try asking? Sid#2121: oh for sure Sid#2121: I don't have a reddit acct Sid#2121: if you have one that you post on it might be better if you send a message Sid#2121: but happy to help write it bmk#1476: He has a discord Sid#2121: oh ?
Sid#2121: oh man we should update the kanban :/ lots of new tasks popping up Sid#2121: did you see the thing i posted in #links / can you see the new hidden channel? bmk#1476: Please do bmk#1476: And yes Sid#2121: so ```- test MOE model, devise architecture. - reach out to TFM authors - reach out to Archivist``` to add to kanban Sid#2121: ```-test memory consumption with ctpu profiler``` bmk#1476: Yeah bmk#1476: I didn't even know there was a profiler how do we use it Sid#2121: ( if you test on a colab tpu - it gives you tensor details when OOM happens. I didn't take a screenshot but last night i did some testing and think it was mostly the reshape op on L455? but need to confirm) Sid#2121: uhhh Sid#2121: also looked into this last night Sid#2121: there's some command line profiler which i didn't really understand how to use - this hook seems easier https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/732968185346654219/Screenshot_2020-07-15_at_03.15.21.png bmk#1476: Huh bmk#1476: Well, eliminating that reshape doesn't seem too hard Sid#2121: *scrolling through the screenshots i took at sleeping hours last night to see if i documented* Sid#2121: lol no of course not Sid#2121: i'll try to recreate bmk#1476: Ok I pushed commit eliminating that reshapr Sid#2121: (not 100% that was it but i think if we can eliminate any reshapes possible, that's good) Sid#2121: so, nice
bmk#1476: This reshape was in original GPT2 as well tho Sid#2121: yeah but reshapes are different in TFM bmk#1476: So why is it using so much memory for us bmk#1476: Oh Sid#2121: there's a whole section in the paper on it i thought we were clear on this bmk#1476: Ok so reshape bad Sid#2121: i mean, not *always* Sid#2121: but i think best to avoid bmk#1476: Ctrl+F reshape to eliminate Sid#2121: as far as i understand tho it should be a communication bandwidth problem rather than a memory one but 🤷 Sid#2121: if you see the reshape bad pic i just tagged you in it also mentions changing dimension names can change the layout Sid#2121: so like, i *think* but i'm not sure Sid#2121: if you have your input with the batch dimension Sid#2121: and then at some point you rename it to batch_2 Sid#2121: and you tell it to split along batch, it won't split along batch_2 Sid#2121: and every time the input goes to batch_2, it's going to be broadcast / replicated to every core, and destroy any memory gains we might have had from splitting tensors bmk#1476: her'es the provlem Sid#2121: so we need to avoid that bmk#1476: first of all thatdoesnt explain memory use, only slower speed Sid#2121: ^ see above
bmk#1476: this should still use strictly less memory Sid#2121: re memory use bmk#1476: second, you *cannot* have two dims of same name in a tensor bmk#1476: so if you want an embd -> embd, you have to *rename* one of the input or output Sid#2121: no but i'm saying Sid#2121: we have our input bmk#1476: you cant have an embd x embd matrix Sid#2121: with [batch, seq, i forget] Sid#2121: and then at some point, we do Sid#2121: dim_combined_batch_sequence = mtf.Dimension('combined_batch_sequence', batch_dim.size * sequence_dim.size) Sid#2121: if we just split along batch Sid#2121: and not combined_batch_sequence Sid#2121: when that reshape op happens, that tensor is going to be replicated on every core bmk#1476: that was a vestige of the old code Sid#2121: hence causing oom, and destroying memory gains Sid#2121: ah i haven't seen update bmk#1476: but this for example is absolutely necessary: bmk#1476: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/732971129521701044/unknown.png Sid#2121: but that's the *general case* i think for where ooms might come from bmk#1476: tmp_channels is necessary
bmk#1476: i think that still doesnt explain it bmk#1476: that only uses more inter-tpu bandwdith bmk#1476: so it's slower, yes Sid#2121: no, that's not right bmk#1476: but should never use more memory Sid#2121: because combined_batch_sequence then isn't being split bmk#1476: so what? Sid#2121: and will be stored on every core? Sid#2121: taking up more memory? bmk#1476: it was never being split inthe original either Sid#2121: batch was Sid#2121: so if we're splitting along batch then reshaping to combined_batch_sequence Sid#2121: that *whole* tensor is going to be on every core bmk#1476: oh i understand Sid#2121: am i making sense? i feel like my point isn't getting across bmk#1476: ok let's try it with that removed Sid#2121: I can't replicate the oom where i got the nice printout unfortunately but yeah Sid#2121: that's my hypothesis bmk#1476: are there any other reshapes causing a similar amount of trouble Sid#2121: idk man, can't get the printout again ;_; as far as i remember from debugging, it was that one, and then some bfloat thing which i fixed
Sid#2121: Idk if having a stray bfloat would affect the memory, or if it was just that op that happened to be bfloat bmk#1476: bfloat thing? bmk#1476: oh bmk#1476: what would it take to convert everything to bfloat? Sid#2121: there's a commit Sid#2121: i mean, i think theoretically not a lot Sid#2121: just anywhere we specify dtype change to bfloat and i guess change the input? bmk#1476: *theoretically* this is tpus everythng is hard Sid#2121: in toy_model.py they just set a master dtype and use that Sid#2121: so i'd say we do that bmk#1476: ok Sid#2121: but if that bfloat didn't break things, presumably that means mixed precision is ok Daj#7482: I would be wholly unsurprised if a single bfloat caused some kind of weird padding or intermediate dtype conversions mid graph Daj#7482: I have no proof of this, just a hunch bmk#1476: oh right speaking of padding that reminds me bmk#1476: right now heads are 64 per bmk#1476: we probably want to make each head 128 Daj#7482: Ah yeah, TPUs multiply in batches of 128 Sid#2121: So i changed this on line 256 ``` b = mtf.get_variable(x.mesh, 'b', [nf], initializer=tf.constant_initializer(0, dtype=tf.bfloat16), dtype=dt) ``` to tf.float32
bmk#1476: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/732974205687300126/unknown.png bmk#1476: these too? bmk#1476: why did you change Daj#7482: lol the tensor is 32 but initializer is 16? Daj#7482: Seems like a bug/typo Sid#2121: huh? i don't think i changed that bmk#1476: o.O Sid#2121: from what to what Sid#2121: what was it before bmk#1476: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/732974993259888731/unknown.png Sid#2121: I.... wow i must have been half asleep Sid#2121: i must have just took it out idk, i literally don't remember that bmk#1476: haha its ok Sid#2121: wait, when was that commit lol? it wasn't yesterday Sid#2121: thought i was going mad Sid#2121: i may have done that several days ago, yeah. bmk#1476: anyways lets add it back to help transition to bf16 Sid#2121: yep. I wanna look into MOEEEE tho bmk#1476: okok bmk#1476: go for it
Sid#2121: i mean Sid#2121: let's do priorities ok bmk#1476: i'll deal with bf16ification Sid#2121: i'm so bad at self organisation Sid#2121: and i still need to read the moe paper Sid#2121: I'll do the kanban as first priority Sid#2121: then i shall use the kanban to device my next priority, hah Daj#7482: Have we tested whether the reshapes help with the memory use? Sid#2121: AH! i replicated the oom error bmk#1476: after removing that reshape, i'm currently testing Daj#7482: Cool cool Sid#2121: (assuming you didn't change gpt_moe.py, it should be the same as unfixed gpt_mesh.py) bmk#1476: i did not change Sid#2121: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/732976692632617010/message.txt Sid#2121: what can we devise from this Sid#2121: 1) there's some more bfloats coming from somewhere Sid#2121: no clue where Sid#2121: uhhh is this something that scopes will give us more info about Daj#7482: btw colab TPUs are v2 Daj#7482: They have 8GB
bmk#1476: which op is einsum_21/einsum/XlaEinsum ??? o.O Daj#7482: v3s have 16GB Daj#7482: just to explain why it OOMed on 13GB of memory use Sid#2121: i have no idea which op that is, but i can fix the reshape and see if the error's the same Sid#2121: einsum does the same thing? O.o Sid#2121: praise the lord for einsum Sid#2121: if it does the same thing that should our way to do reshapes, since you can keep the batch name the same Sid#2121: or wait, did you just take it out for testing. gotta read this through properly Sid#2121: ah ok i get it, einsum can do the reshape op internally anyway Sid#2121: that seems like a much cleaner way to do it Sid#2121: and I can't see why it would differ bmk#1476: einsum is magic bmk#1476: give it what you have and tell it what you want Sid#2121: 🙏 praise einsum🙏 Sid#2121: ah i errored Sid#2121: you do need the output dims to have a different name, i think Sid#2121: but we just need to make sure to split along those too ? Sid#2121: ```new_name = "tmp_dim_cumsum" new_dim = Dimension(new_name, dim.size) new_shape = x.shape.rename_dimension(dim.name, new_name)
comparator = less if exclusive else less_equal m = cast( comparator(mtf_range(x.mesh, dim, dtype=tf.float32), mtf_range(x.mesh, new_dim, dtype=tf.float32)), x.dtype) ret = einsum([x, m], output_shape=new_shape)``` like this (mtf.cumsum) bmk#1476: I think I know why they did the even odd layers now Sid#2121: altho i don't know if *renaming* a dimension means we need to split that too Sid#2121: or if mtf handles that Sid#2121: oh yeah? bmk#1476: You can't have same name both input and output for obvious reasons bmk#1476: Currently we rename inputs to tmp_something every time bmk#1476: But what if we had a different shape for every other layer bmk#1476: No reshaping required bmk#1476: If only they had ***documented*** this Sid#2121: i'm not sure i understand Sid#2121: also i think this is how our einsum should work, about to test Sid#2121: ``` new_name = "tmp_batch" new_dim = Dimension(new_name, batch_dim.size) new_shape = h.shape.rename_dimension(batch_dim.name, new_name)
new_name = "tmp_seq" new_dim = Dimension(new_name, sequence_dim.size) new_shape = h.shape.rename_dimension(sequence_dim.name, new_name) new_name = "tmp_vocab" new_dim = Dimension(new_name, vocab_dim.size) new_shape = h.shape.rename_dimension(vocab_dim.name, new_name) logits = mtf.einsum([h, wte], output_shape=[batch_dim, sequence_dim, vocab_dim])``` bmk#1476: Note to self: add to passive aggressive blog post Sid#2121: it's growing https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/732981299798867998/Screenshot_2020-07-15_at_17.25.39.png Sid#2121: also we should be in #gpt-neox-devs Sid#2121: I would like the best practice for this sort of thing cleared up so adding that to noam email bmk#1476: best practice for what? Sid#2121: selecting names, how to split when you're using tmp_dimensions, if you rename to a tmp_dimension, does that mean the dimension stops getting split? etc etc Sid#2121: also the code above works, just need to add mtf.Dimension Sid#2121: gna push bmk#1476: i think i already have a reasonable feel for how it works bmk#1476: the main thing we'd ask noam to do is probably look for things in our code we didnt even know to think about Sid#2121: oh no i jumped the gun
Sid#2121: doesn't work bmk#1476: which by definition we cant really ask about bmk#1476: the what happened Daj#7482: If we ask someone publishing papers at Google to look at our code we won't get a response Sid#2121: same error bmk#1476: hmm Sid#2121: i guess rename_dimension doesn't rename inplace? bmk#1476: what do we ask him? Sid#2121: i probably need to explicitly do it Daj#7482: We need to ask _very specific_ questions that fit in maximum 1-2 paragraphs bmk#1476: if we know what is possibly the issue, we can fix it without their help Daj#7482: That's my experience with cold emailing busy people Daj#7482: Asking "Why doesn't this work?" or "Is this the correct way to do this?" is fine bmk#1476: like, if you can make that 1-2 paragraphs i bet i could fix the issue before the email comes back bmk#1476: the problem is we dont know what we dont know Daj#7482: Yes lol Sid#2121: ```def rename_dimension(x, old_name, new_name): """Reshape a Tensor, renaming one dimension. Args: x: a Tensor
old_name: a string new_name: a string Returns: a Tensor """ return reshape(x, x.shape.rename_dimension(old_name, new_name))``` am i going mad, isn't this recursive bmk#1476: the things that are causing us problems wont even fit in those 2 paragraphs Daj#7482: Before we can formulate our questions it's probably not worth emailing imho Daj#7482: Haha Daj#7482: Fair Daj#7482: Just my 2ct bmk#1476: ok so Sid#2121: i agree fwiw bmk#1476: let's put off the email thing bmk#1476: archivist on the other hand can be contacted anytime, i'd say Sid#2121: yep Daj#7482: Yea bmk#1476: i'm a bit of a datahoarder so i've heard of him before Daj#7482: Though again we should do polite due diligence, know what he has that we want and ask very specifically bmk#1476: yeah
Daj#7482: Cool so you might be best to contact him Sid#2121: AGH I HATE THIS LIBRARY bmk#1476: oh no i hate *interacting with people* Sid#2121: mtf.rename_dimension() does a different thing to tensor.shape.rename_dimension() bmk#1476: @Sid bmk#1476: here's how i do it Daj#7482: lol if you really don't want to contact him I can make a reddit account sometime and do it bmk#1476: ``` x = mtf.reshape(x, x.shape.rename_dimension(x.shape[-1].name, 'tmp_channels')) ``` Sid#2121: poifect thanks bmk#1476: nah ill do it Sid#2121: *let's get him in the discord* Daj#7482: Pinned a message. Daj#7482: Passive aggressive blog post material Sid#2121: well let's email them before we blog about them, tho Daj#7482: For sure haha Daj#7482: It's just a meme Sid#2121: so we're not really gonna write a passive agressive blog post?? Sid#2121: for shame bmk#1476: idk, it would be a great post
Daj#7482: Oh no we will bmk#1476: im all for writing one Daj#7482: But we will give everyone a polite headsup Daj#7482: imo Daj#7482: Otherwise feels kinda rude bmk#1476: yeah that's fair Daj#7482: And we will be polite in the blogpost ofc Daj#7482: Just frustrated lol Sid#2121: @bmk i think you can just do this tho ``` x = mtf.rename_dimension(x, old_name, new_name)``` bmk#1476: so polite, in fact, you might call it bmk#1476: *passive aggressive* bmk#1476: you can Daj#7482: Point taken bmk#1476: i just dont feel like replacing mine Sid#2121: hah Sid#2121: i'll do it Sid#2121: i don't want any loose straws Sid#2121: it *might* do something different lol Sid#2121: you never know Sid#2121: I'm still not clear on "if we rename a dimension, do we also have to split along the temporary rename for the splits to be effective"
Sid#2121: I mean that's github issue stuff right? bmk#1476: when you rename it might do inter device comms Sid#2121: it does bmk#1476: and yes you do Sid#2121: because internally, it's a reshape bmk#1476: but it's a bit more complicated than that bmk#1476: conv1d takes dim_in -> dim_out bmk#1476: they *cannot be equal* Sid#2121: O.o bmk#1476: and you *cannot split both simultaneously* Sid#2121: huh?? bmk#1476: it makes sense if you think about it bmk#1476: there needs to be a [dim_in, dim_out] matrix bmk#1476: and obviously you cannot split the same tensor twice along the same mesh dim bmk#1476: this is why the even odd is necessary Sid#2121: it's still taking some time to click in my brain unfortunately Sid#2121: will keep reading that sentence until i understand lol bmk#1476: look at the diagrams in appendix a of tfmesh paper Sid#2121: oh man i didn't see that there were diagrams in this appendix Sid#2121: thought it was just biblio and model samples
Sid#2121: ok i kinda get it Sid#2121: AH Sid#2121: yes Sid#2121: the click happened Sid#2121: alright woah ok Sid#2121: so it wasn't just poc Sid#2121: that's clever Sid#2121: let's odd even bmk#1476: *click* Sid#2121: so if i'm understanding correctly: dim_in and dim_out need to differ bmk#1476: yeah Sid#2121: *but* you can go dim_in --> dim_out --> dim_in ---> dim_out etc etc indefinitely? bmk#1476: yep Sid#2121: s oyou need the odd even? bmk#1476: yep Sid#2121: yessss Sid#2121: wow you'd think that'd be quite a key thing to actually document instead of just shove in the appendix of a paper bmk#1476: they didnteven put it in the appendix did they Sid#2121: well, not really Sid#2121: you have to infer lol
bmk#1476: this is just in their toy model Sid#2121: ok this is gonna help a lot Sid#2121: ah we have so many optimizations to do bmk#1476: so dims we can eliminate: `tmp_channels` Sid#2121: i love it when something clicks. this good bmk#1476: actually that's the main one we can eliminate i think bmk#1476: there's one thing that i'm miffed about the lack of support for: the ability to assign multiple mesh dimensions to a dimension bmk#1476: like say your mesh is a:16,b:32 bmk#1476: and you want to temporarily spread a dimension across all 512 cores bmk#1476: you cant bmk#1476: at all bmk#1476: and there's not really a good reason for it bmk#1476: i guess you can manually split the tensor and then do the thing Sid#2121: hm yeah bmk#1476: but that's annoying Sid#2121: well no actually Sid#2121: a tensor is multidimensional Sid#2121: it's not like it's 1d bmk#1476: no like imagine you have [batch, seq, embd] Sid#2121: so if you have a 10 * 10 tensor and you split it 2 ways one way and 5 ways the other
Sid#2121: you are splitting across all cores bmk#1476: you want to split embd across both the a and the b bmk#1476: you cant Sid#2121: how would that even work Sid#2121: like, imagine the tensor as a square like in the diagrams bmk#1476: just send one chunk to each processor along both of those dimensions bmk#1476: yeah Sid#2121: how would you draw the dividing line bmk#1476: you draw the dividing line the same Sid#2121: but if you're dividing across another dimension too bmk#1476: but you put it elsewhere on the *mesh* Sid#2121: that means you're dividing 512 * n times bmk#1476: you can only draw lines to cut each dimension to the same number of pieces as that mesh dimension right? bmk#1476: but if you're not using the other mesh dimension then that dimension is just doing nothing bmk#1476: what if you could use up both of those dimensions Sid#2121: nah, i don't understand Sid#2121: also i can't get this einsum you pushed to work bmk#1476: what if you could temporarily use two mesh dimensions as one big dimension bmk#1476: ? Sid#2121: is it working for you? did you test it?
Sid#2121: ``` # equivalent to tf.matmul new_name = "tmp_batch" old_name = h.shape[0].name h = mtf.rename_dimension(h, old_name, new_name) new_name = "tmp_seq" old_name = h.shape[1].name h = mtf.rename_dimension(h, old_name, new_name) new_name = "tmp_vocab" old_name = h.shape[2].name h = mtf.rename_dimension(h, old_name, new_name) logits = mtf.einsum([h, wte], output_shape=[batch_dim, sequence_dim, vocab_dim])``` like, this should work right Sid#2121: i'm getting the einsum has lhs dimension but no corresponding rhs dimension thing bmk#1476: well no bmk#1476: you're renaming all the dimensions bmk#1476: ofc einsum doesnt know what you want bmk#1476: why are you renaming? o.O Sid#2121: but what's the advantage of doing that, as opposed to splitting one tensor dimension across one mesh dimension, and the other across a different mesh dimension
Sid#2121: because you need to rename for einsum no ?? i'm confused Sid#2121: did you run the code you pushed? bmk#1476: because dsometimes you *dont have* the "other" dimension bmk#1476: yes my code works Sid#2121: hm bmk#1476: it breaks because of the rename to tmp_ Sid#2121: ah bmk#1476: why are you renaming? o.O Sid#2121: i know what's going on, my bad. i thought that was the thing to do but i know what the problem is now Sid#2121: does the einsum not need new names as the output shape tho? i thought it did Sid#2121: oh Sid#2121: ok Sid#2121: answering my own question in my own brain bmk#1476: rubbergeduckt Sid#2121: > does the einsum not need new names as the output shape tho? i thought it did but can u sanity check this tho bmk#1476: no Sid#2121: ok bmk#1476: einsum needs exactly the same names in output bmk#1476: or else it has no idea what's going on
bmk#1476: conv1d needs different names bmk#1476: (only for the output dim) Sid#2121: https://tenor.com/view/screaming-internally-dead-inside-screaming-snapped-gif-8097478 bmk#1476: err @Daj what does this mean https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/732992864321142934/unknown.png Daj#7482: Uhh probably preempted, or corrupted state bmk#1476: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/732992985704431657/unknown.png bmk#1476: hm. bmk#1476: how do recreate Daj#7482: Yea preempted bmk#1476: pu recreate? Daj#7482: `pu recreate` Daj#7482: Yea should work I think Daj#7482: btw do we need the v3-8? TFRC wants people to keep TPUs unreserved whenever possible bmk#1476: im not using it at least bmk#1476: I'm fine with releasing it Daj#7482: alrighty I'll delete it for the time being Sid#2121: really thinking about implementing a selenium browser that starts up and takes then posts a screenshot of the kanban every time we msg !kanban Sid#2121: is this Sid#2121: bikeshedding Isaac McHorse#2007: OI! ARE YOU WORKING?
Sid#2121: ah i'd have to log into my github on the server, wouldn't work Sid#2121: @bmk i can't for the life of me understand why my einsum op isn't working. (I'm testing on gpt_moe.py). can you tell me what i'm doing wrong Sid#2121: code: ``` print('INTO EINSUM SHAPE:') print(h) print(wte) logits = mtf.einsum([h, wte], output_shape=[batch_dim, sequence_dim, output_dim])``` Sid#2121: prints: ```INTO EINSUM SHAPE: Tensor[ln_f/add_2:0, Shape[batch=32, sequence=128, moe_out=768], <dtype: 'float32'>] Tensor[wte_dropout/einsum:0, Shape[vocab=50257, embd=768], <dtype: 'float32'>] ``` Sid#2121: (moe_out is the name of output_dim) bmk#1476: er bmk#1476: 2 things bmk#1476: moe_out and embd need to have the same name if you want them to get joined bmk#1476: output_dim needs to be the same name as vocab bmk#1476: @Sid Sid#2121: the *same name* as vocab bmk#1476: yes bmk#1476: they need to be the same dimension Sid#2121: but they are
Sid#2121: different shapes bmk#1476: right now youre giving it two dimensions with different names how is einsum supposed to know theyre actually the same bmk#1476: why is that dim called moe_out anyways bmk#1476: why not just make it the same as output_dim Sid#2121: it *is* output_dim bmk#1476: ? Sid#2121: like, moe_out is the name of output_dim bmk#1476: ah Sid#2121: i'm so confused bmk#1476: that threw me for a loop Sid#2121: yeah sorry, bad naming conventions Sid#2121: will change but this was 4am last night coding bmk#1476: still bmk#1476: output_dim and vocab are the same object too? bmk#1476: ok bmk#1476: i get it bmk#1476: you want moe_out and embd to be the same dim Sid#2121: yes it should be called embd_dim or whatever Sid#2121: that's my bad bmk#1476: output_dim needs to be the same as *vocab*
Sid#2121: the same shape? bmk#1476: the same dim bmk#1476: name Sid#2121: O.o bmk#1476: this naming is garbage Sid#2121: ok vyou've explained enough lol, thanks Sid#2121: but i still don't get it Sid#2121: i'll keep reading bmk#1476: please change every name to the same as the dim in it Sid#2121: i don't wanna make you explain the same thing over and over bmk#1476: otherwise this is impossible to debug Sid#2121: yeah ok Sid#2121: i'm going out for a bit anyway, don't worry about the moe stuff i'll fix it bmk#1476: ok Sid#2121: @bmk did you test btw? did it run? bmk#1476: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/733029398717923328/unknown.png Daj#7482: That's...strange? Probably corrupt bmk#1476: what do Daj#7482: I can manually delete and recreate it bmk#1476: hows that different from pu recreate
Daj#7482: It shouldn't be? bmk#1476: o.O Daj#7482: You can try another pu recreate bmk#1476: ok Daj#7482: #the-faraday-cage-archive is now our go to spot for putting any fun GPT/GAN/etc stuff aquajet#7800: Joined the server.

Daj#7482: I really don't care Daj#7482: Open to whatever people think looks best Sid#2121: I mean let's not have it *right* at the top lol. general should be first zphang#7252: Are the data processing scripts in the GPTNeo repo / could you add me? shawwn#3694: sigh Daj#7482: Personally I'd put communities in resources? What do you think? Sid#2121: i think Sid#2121: bikeshedding
Isaac McHorse#2007: ? JUST DO IT ! shawwn#3694: I think it should be at the top, because it's the first thing people see when they join the server. why does every decision have to be analyzed forever? Daj#7482: Data processing scripts sans tfrecords encoding are in various other repos zphang#7252: oh they're not centralized yet Sid#2121: @zphang all the data processing scripts are in #datascripts yeah Sid#2121: ah Sid#2121: we should centralize Daj#7482: Nope it's a bit of a mess atm Daj#7482: iirc bmk wanted individual scripts in different repos arfa#0882: IMO the stuff people are likely to look at once and then mute/collapse section should be below thing people are likely to look at regularly Daj#7482: We might spin off a The Pile™️ repo arfa#0882: I don't want to have to scroll past stuff I've muted/collapsed to see unread messages Daj#7482: I like #communities in resources since those channels are all for looking up things, but as said I really don't care so open to feedback ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sid#2121: eh i preferred it with it's own section Daj#7482: I'll fiddle with it when I'm back home arfa#0882: Yeah. I mean, different people use Discord differently. I think shawwn never mutes anything, for example, so :idk: how he sees things shawwn#3694: I mute most servers arfa#0882: Oh Sid#2121: oh please can we message huggingface Sid#2121: @Daj I feel like you're best placed to do this since famuz

Is that just what the openai codebase Targets? Sid#2121: it's what we have access to Sid#2121: TFRC creds Sid#2121: plus speed pwang99#3791: Ah. Got it Daj#7482: Yea, any equivalent amount of GPU would be unaffordable pwang99#3791: What is the ballpark estimate of TPU compute-hours needed Daj#7482: Uhm I think @bmk made some estimates Daj#7482: Thousands of TPU months iirc

I have used keras in the past, but to do pretty basic stuffs, mlp and small cnn Daj#7482: Oh that's neat, I always wondered if anyone used these libraries for anything but ML. Well if you ever feel like diving into some harder stuff or managing/downloading/encoding (mostly cleaning/encoding needed atm) huge datasets, hit us up 👍 Daj#7482: And welcome @Skyros @sri to the Filming of the first Entirely Real Black Mirror Episode!

Please see the channel topic for info and don't hesitate to ask questions! bmk#1476: we can use all the help we can get lol Daj#7482: Yea bmk, founder of Hugging Face tweeted about open source GPT3 and shawn commented with our discord Daj#7482: lets hope some of the new people stick around and help :) bmk#1476: niiiice bmk#1476: did anyone from HF join? Daj#7482: Not that I know of Ivanc2#9346: Replicating GPT2 was pretty fun - but I figure it needs more parameters 😂 shawwn#3694: it's also weird that lots of people seem to have joined and immediately left. But I guess it's not that strange. I expected to see more than 19 online shawwn#3694: probably just early morning though. Daj#7482: @Ivanc2 It brings some new challenges since GPT2 is about the biggest that fits on one core haha Daj#7482: Yea I've noticed that too shawwn Daj#7482: Noticed a few odd things in general Daj#7482: e.g. I was followed by a twitter profile that literally only follows me Ivanc2#9346: Everyone wants to know how close it is to being done bmk#1476: haha bmk#1476: it *would* be closer if everyone pitched in
Daj#7482: We're making real progress for sure Daj#7482: But it's a big project Daj#7482: I'm surprised we got this far tbh bmk#1476: does anyone of the recently joined have access to a lot of cpu power shawwn#3694: we have 64 cores, though I'm not sure that's "lots" Daj#7482: Better than our 8 lol bmk#1476: Er, about an order of magnitude more would be my very rough estimate Daj#7482: I mean, it's not that less isn't worth it bmk#1476: ^ Daj#7482: Since we can be training smaller models while data processing runs bmk#1476: yeah Ivanc2#9346: @Skylion has access to the brown grid shawwn#3694: oh, did skylion pitch in some resources? shawwn#3694: neat bmk#1476: also unlike OA, who only sampled a small amount of data from CC, I want to process *all* of CC and then sample from that Daj#7482: We haven't heard much from Skylion so far Ivanc2#9346: I’m saying he can, won’t offer for him Daj#7482: Which is fine, anyone can contribute that wants to Ivanc2#9346: I could also try and reactivate my Brown U research account if my advisor is interested bmk#1476: so if we ever want to go bigger we can just sample more instead of firing up the CC code again
Daj#7482: Would be super cool Vanya! Happy to spin out some research papers too Daj#7482: We have plenty of experiments worth writing up bmk#1476: oh yes, research papers would be awesome shawwn#3694: by the way, I've been thinking of making my own attempt at GPT-3. Feel free to revoke my access to avoid conflict of interest, though to be honest I doubt I'll get anywhere either way. shawwn#3694: mesh tensorflow is interesting Daj#7482: Why not work together with us? shawwn#3694: I spent some time going through the examples shawwn#3694: mostly for fun. Daj#7482: I mean, sure do what you want Ivanc2#9346: It seems like this project would benefit greatly from Shawn’s community Daj#7482: We came from Shawn's community lol Daj#7482: Just a few of us spun out because we needed more space Daj#7482: We'd love to have you Shawn, shame you don't want to cooperate, but I wish you luck whatever you do :) bmk#1476: I think we have a much better chance of succeeding if shawn works with us rather than redoing our work bmk#1476: us = any of us getting one working lillux#2099: @Daj i can work on dataset in my spare time, i'll read the specific thread shawwn#3694: I didn't say I wasn't going to cooperate. I said I was thinking of making my own attempt, and wanted to mention it ahead of time so it doesn't come as a surprise. Daj#7482: I misunderstood then, either way I look forward to what you do!

shawwn#3694: hm, why's it closed then? just curious bmk#1476: I believe the original intent was to not put out unfinished code Daj#7482: Yup shawwn#3694: ah Daj#7482: I literally never deny a request to see it Daj#7482: We'll release it the second we're comfortable saying it works Daj#7482: Which might be soon spiantino#6702: Joined the server.

I’m curious if the training is a mostly CPU or GPU required workload. And if you have a rough estimate of how many you’d need Daj#7482: Currently we're actually CPU bound for the data cleaning
Daj#7482: Since TPUs do the GPU work for us Daj#7482: Also a formal hello to @thesofakillers @jackclark @Teven ! Welcome to the AGI Proving Grounds!

I'm not sure if I should be apologizing for this or not lol @Daj I don't think so - we're all part of the same community going forward in time.

Please see the channel topic for info and don't hesitate to ask questions! goolulusaurs#1571: One thing I've been thinking about is that with models like iGPT, people are finding ways to turn other types of data into a sequence for prediction. However, everything on a computer is already stored as a sequence of bits. I wonder how well it would work to train a large transformer on sequences of bits/hex, as a way of representing and predicting any kind of data, whether its text, executable, image, sound, etc. Daj#7482: I mean, all data arriving in the human brain is neural spikes Daj#7482: Same idea ragha123#2283: Joined the server.

Sid#2121: we're not done yet 🙂 Sid#2121: very much work in progress and we don't want to release unfinished code Sid#2121: it will be, though Ruby#6688: Gotcha
Ruby#6688: I can contribute around 200$ worth of cpu if that helps. Ruby#6688: on AWS. Sid#2121: oh awesome Sid#2121: it may well do. @bmk would be the person to ask about that. I'm not 100% how we're going to distribute processing yet since we've had several people reach out Sid#2121: can i put your name on the doc? Ruby#6688: Sure Sid#2121: ❤️ we're very grateful. thanks for the offer. wobbithobbit#2197: > Hi @wobbithobbit @MarcAK ! Welcome to the OpenAI of OpenAI!

Daj#7482: Our current bottlenecks are mostly CPUs for data processing and people willing to brave Tensorflow Mesh/TPU coding Daj#7482: Applies to everyone ofc heh Commutative Conjecture#6969: Where can I find more details? Are there people with new projects? CPU as in money? What's required wrt coding? Commutative Conjecture#6969: I'd like to check out https://github.com/ConnorJL/GPTNeo Daj#7482: > Where can I find more details? > Are there people with new projects? > CPU as in money? > What's required wrt coding? @Commutative Conjecture Channel topic/gdoc, various channels, @Daj @bmk @Sid , roughly in that order It's mostly the three of us pushing for what needs to get done for GPT3+, but we've had some ideas for spin off projects when we find the time Or just someone with access to a lot of cores to run the scripts on Best to ask @Sid @bmk about the exact status, depends on what your skills are! If you can do TPU/TFM type stuff or are a quick learner, that'd probably be the most useful Daj#7482: > I'd like to check out https://github.com/ConnorJL/GPTNeo @Commutative Conjecture Send me your github username and I'll invite you! zphang#7252: could I get an invite as well? same username Commutative Conjecture#6969: I worked on many exotic models of computation, so I wouldn't mind starting TPU stuff Daj#7482: > could I get an invite as well? same username
@zphang I see several zphangs? Commutative Conjecture#6969: Also, sorry, I didn't notice that the channel topic was collapsed and I missed most of it Daj#7482: All good we're delighted to help any willing contributors onboard :) georgejrjrjr#0817: Joined the server. shawwn#3694: Just make the repo open Daj#7482: Yea at this point it might make sense shawwn#3694: @georgejrjrjr welcome to the place to be Sid#2121: eh idk Sid#2121: not yet Daj#7482: We'll have a PoC soon Sid#2121: it's really not done, i'm embarassed by the code Commutative Conjecture#6969: Is there any estimate of funding needs? Sid#2121: B I G shawwn#3694: The more the better Sid#2121: nah idk Sid#2121: most of the money would be going into cpu time Sid#2121: and we've had a lot of people reach out and offer us cpu today Sid#2121: our TPUs are part of TFRC Sid#2121: so we're getting them free shawwn#3694: Hmm. It’s surprising to hear someone turn down funding. Interesting tactic...
Daj#7482: Money can make things complicated too Daj#7482: We're not sayig no, but it is extra overhead Sid#2121: @shawwn please don't take that as me turning down funding lol Sid#2121: wasn't what i meant Sid#2121: I just don't think anyone is that sure of how much we'll need right now Commutative Conjecture#6969: @Sid Thx for the answer Sid#2121: but, yes, the more the better bmk#1476: how much funding do we need? ***the more the better*** bmk#1476: we have an everything shortage rn dvs#3865: Joined the server. clem#3783: keep up the great work everyone, if we can help with hugging face at any point, let us know! shawwn#3694: Got about tree fiddy? (More seriously, a server would be nice) Don#5000: Joined the server. Sid#2121: @clem are you from huggingface? apologies, hard to keep track of everyone at this point Daj#7482: We'll be in contact hopefully @clem ! We've said what we're short on (which is many things, but mostly cores and TPU talent) Sid#2121: Hey @dvs ! great to have you here Daj#7482: Hello @dvs and @Don !

Daj#7482: Yep Daj#7482: We currently run on v3-512s aegis#2320: do you have the weight distribution technique working or are you still training in memory?

GptForMe#9886: Joined the server. GptForMe#9886: @Daj Cores? As in CPU OR gpu? Daj#7482: CPU atm Daj#7482: We don't use GPUs Daj#7482: We need CPU to process the dataset, we train on TPUs aegis#2320: do you have an idea of what hardware you'll need for inference yet? GptForMe#9886: @Daj Your own or in the cloud? Are the cloud platforms offering TPU's now? aegis#2320: based on openai's estimated price I think they have a way to stream computation without having enough gpu/tpu memory for the weights Daj#7482: We're not currently spending much time thinking about inference, that's long off aegis#2320: your arch might affect that though Daj#7482: There are several ways to do it like L2L Daj#7482: @GPTForMe We have a bunch of TPUs from the TFRC Program Daj#7482: for free Daj#7482: > your arch might affect that though @aegis Unlikely, sampling is really not that hard of a problem compared to training eigenjoy#5649: Joined the server. Daj#7482: Sampling _fast_ is a totally different story, but again a story for anothe rday hah aegis#2320: yeah that's what I meant 😛 GptForMe#9886: @Daj Nice! Well done. Ok, still can't find a use for my 64-core (CPU) box. No TPU's. 🙂 aegis#2320: sure you can sample on cpu with an nvme ssd if you want to wait
aegis#2320: do you have a lot of internet bandwidth gptforme? Daj#7482: Hey @eigenjoy ! Welcome to the Freerange Tensor Farm! Please see the channel topic for info and don't hesitate to ask questions! Daj#7482: > @Daj Nice! Well done. Ok, still can't find a use for my 64-core (CPU) box. No TPU's. 🙂 @GptForMe We can definitely put those cores to use for crunching the training data! We're trying to filter 30PB of Common Crawl data down to ~10TB Skylion#0368: FastText is good and more than sufficinet for language detection GptForMe#9886: Does anyone have any approximate heuristics for how susceptible the GPT transformer architecture to "forgetting existing training" when subjected to subsequent training, compared to the pre-Deep-Learning architectures? Is not a problem due to the huge number of parameters? Or is it something you still really have to struggle with? aegis#2320: you are talking about catastrophic forgetting? Daj#7482: There's a lot of people experimenting with GPT finetuning aegis#2320: the whitepaper said they basically only saw every input sequence once Daj#7482: You should be able to find plenty info with some googling I think aegis#2320: so I don't think it's a huge issue Daj#7482: In general, GPT remembers _really_ well Daj#7482: As aegis said GptForMe#9886: Yes, where it at least smears badly existing associations. GptForMe#9886: Thanks Daj, good to know. bmk#1476: all cpus are appreciated bmk#1476: we need 40000 core-days of compute all in total to process CCTC bmk#1476: obviously we dont need all of it for GPT3 or 1T itself but we're producing data useful for other researchers too aegis#2320: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/733405139582582924/Screen_Shot_2020-07-16_at_12.30.05_PM.png bmk#1476: so we need 100 cores to finish this in a year
bmk#1476: what we're doing is collecting way more than we need for future use basically shawwn#3694: I would recommend doing the math on how much of this data you're going to be able to train on shawwn#3694: yes shawwn#3694: by "way more" you mean "far, far more than the model could feasibly be trained on" bmk#1476: we already did aegis#2320: how are you estimating 40k core-days? shawwn#3694: ah. I retract that then bmk#1476: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/733405463105896458/unknown.png aegis#2320: I saw python in the-pile? at this scale isn't optimizing the filter (e.g. native code) reasonable bmk#1476: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/733405510061260950/unknown.png bmk#1476: we dont have the developer time to do that lol Daj#7482: If someone has the skills for that @aegis yes probably bmk#1476: if you're a C++/Rust/Go/Haskell dev your skills would be greatly appreciated aegis#2320: some of everything yes bmk#1476: generic CCTC info above aegis#2320: have you at least tried pypy? I do most of my corpus filtering with that out of laziness lol Sid#2121: > Sampling _fast_ is a totally different story, but again a story for anothe rday hah @Daj tfmesh should actually help us optimize sampling, too aegis#2320: it's a fair bit faster than cpython for the filtering I've done Daj#7482: Yea PyPy or Cython would be interesting to test
aegis#2320: I use it for my openwebtext work Daj#7482: We're just really at/beyond the limit of our available dev time lol aegis#2320: it's way faster than cpython at the basic stuff I've been doing Daj#7482: We're pouring every free minute we have into this and need more people! aegis#2320: you can literally just run pypy in place of cpython if you manage to install the same packages (python3 script -> pypy3 script) bmk#1476: look right now we're stretched unimaginably thin Daj#7482: I haven't looked into it, we will add it to the list bmk#1476: if you think you can do it better ***please do it for us, we can use the help*** Daj#7482: Any and all help appreciated, we have plenty of tasks in all levels of difficulty and obscurity bmk#1476: I'm taking a break rn bmk#1476: i'm fried Daj#7482: Sounds good, you deserve it haha!

Daj#7482: We don't really have any funding or figured out how we wanna handle money, but definitely interesting @aegis Daj#7482: We'll see how everything develops shawwn#3694: the dataset might become more valuable than the project, depending on how the training goes Daj#7482: Yea I think that's a likely outcome shawwn#3694: it'd be worth securing a spot for it. It's hard to store TB's of data for extended periods shawwn#3694: I don't have any ideas yet, but it's in the back of my mind. aegis#2320: if we need to store 10tb of data I can mirror it but can't serve it up very often Daj#7482: Yea same, back of the mind atm Daj#7482: Torrents? lol Daj#7482: We'll figure something out, maybe bug Google about it bmk#1476: Same here bmk#1476: I'm willing to host 10-20 TB of data at home and seed the torrent Daj#7482: It feels appropriate for our data to be on a torrent lol bmk#1476: My upload bandwidth is somewhat limited though Daj#7482: But yeah, bridge to cross when we come to it bmk#1476: It would take me a month and a half to upload 10TB bmk#1476: So I can't be the *only* seeder Daj#7482: We'll figure something out Daj#7482: I could imagine Google/TFRC lending a hand Daj#7482: Lets just get the dataset done first hah
shawwn#3694: fwiw, torrents almost always die, except for super popular datasets like imagenet Zach Dwiel#0475: you might also check out dat shawwn#3694: did dat ever go anywhere? shawwn#3694: I briefly heard about it like, two years ago shawwn#3694: is it really suitable for storing TB's of data? Zach Dwiel#0475: They have made quite a bit of progress, but the command line tool has lagged a bit Zach Dwiel#0475: I'm pretty sure it was designed with at least TB's of data in mind, but i am not 100% sure Daj#7482: Lets put it on 𝓣𝓗𝓔 𝓑𝓛𝓞𝓒𝓚𝓒𝓗𝓐𝓘𝓝 shawwn#3694: translation error; message not received Daj#7482: Really?

Daj#7482: Oh Sid#2121: yeah in settings Sid#2121: thought you knew @Daj Daj#7482: Yea the account needs to be 5 min old Sid#2121: is this an awful thing? lol Daj#7482: Sorry should I turn that off I forgot I turned it on? shawwn#3694: *shrug* Daj#7482: It seemed very reasonable Sid#2121: seems fair to me Sid#2121: have a read around first shawwn#3694: I guess if people from OpenAI and HF are joining and staying, it can't be too bad.
Daj#7482: It definitely was a nuisance today, I'll turn it down for now, thanks for alerting us @Deleted User ! Daj#7482: Yea it seemed to not cause too much trouble, we'll see what a lower setting does _shrug_ shawwn#3694: one thing that keeps me from lurking on this server more is that there's no real place to show off one's own work shawwn#3694: but I lurk often enough. Daj#7482: Well, _technically_ #the-faraday-cage-archive is show off, but yea this is a very project focused discord shawwn#3694: and that's not really the point of this server anyway. shawwn#3694: yeah. Deleted User#0000: No worries. Guess it stops proper spammers, doubt it would stop people genuinely interested - how hard is it to find 5mins of things to do on the internet. More likely to get distracted than to intentionally leave Daj#7482: If you want a channel for your project we can set that up Daj#7482: True Jelly, appreciate the patience :D shawwn#3694: ehh, I don't really have a project. It's mostly things like the current BigGAN run https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729741769738158194/733418748991766598/individualImage.png shawwn#3694: "behold the blobs" Daj#7482: Put it in #the-faraday-cage-archive or #art ! shawwn#3694: works Daj#7482: I love them haha shawwn#3694: I didn't realize TFC was for anything other than !scp es#4913: Joined the server. Daj#7482: Yea we recently repurposed it and didn't really advertise it shawwn#3694: @es welcome to the server where you can't talk for 60 seconds, nyah-nyah. Daj#7482: Hey @es ! Welcome to the A~~u~~rtistic AI Containment Zone! Please see the channel topic for info and don't hesitate to ask questions!
Daj#7482: Haha I turned the wait time off for now shawwn Daj#7482: I'mma be heading to bed (read: Continue checking Discord until I fall asleep like a degenerate). Crazy day today, thanks for everyone being so awesome and can't wait to see where this project goes next 👍 Sid#2121: man, you have a better sleep schedule than i do Sid#2121: night! Sid#2121: and, echoing that statement superguy#8832: Joined the server. kevinw#4330: Joined the server. Sid#2121: Hey @superguy , @kevinw ! Welcome to LLMA (Large Language Modelholic's Anonymous ™️ ). Check the channel description for an overview of our project, please ask if you have any questions! shawwn#3694: gpt-3 when? bmk#1476: 1T when? shawwn#3694: got a tensorboard link yet? Sid#2121: @shawwn we're still waiting for our data to encode also idk how to set up a public tensorboard shawwn#3694: hmm, those two statements seem unrelated. is a tensorboard running? kevinw#4330: thanks will do Sid#2121: yeah, tensorboard works fine now Sid#2121: but also, there's no point looking at it bc it's not really properly training yet bmk#1476: I believe he means we need the data to start training shawwn#3694: it's nice to have; makes things feel more real. But yeah, not much point I suppose bmk#1476: Are you just looking for memory consumption info? shawwn#3694: I set up DNS to specific server IP addresses; e.g. my current biggan run is at http://goku.shawwn.com:1088/#images
