Description
Large language models, often requiring extensive computational resources for training over long periods, have demonstrated impressive proficiency in zero- and few-shot learning tasks. Due to the high investment needed for their development, replicating these models poses a significant challenge for many researchers. Furthermore, access to the few models available via API is limited, as users cannot obtain the complete model weights, complicating academic exploration. In response to this, we introduce Open Pre-trained Transformers (OPT), a collection of decoder-only pre-trained transformers ranging from 125 million to 175 billion parameters, which we intend to share comprehensively and responsibly with interested scholars. Our findings indicate that OPT-175B exhibits performance on par with GPT-3, yet it is developed with only one-seventh of the carbon emissions required for GPT-3's training. Additionally, we will provide a detailed logbook that outlines the infrastructure hurdles we encountered throughout the project, as well as code to facilitate experimentation with all released models, ensuring that researchers have the tools they need to explore this technology further.
Description
Recent breakthroughs in natural language processing, comprehension, and generation have been greatly influenced by the development of large language models. This research presents a system that employs Ascend 910 AI processors and the MindSpore framework to train a language model exceeding one trillion parameters, specifically 1.085 trillion, referred to as PanGu-{\Sigma}. This model enhances the groundwork established by PanGu-{\alpha} by converting the conventional dense Transformer model into a sparse format through a method known as Random Routed Experts (RRE). Utilizing a substantial dataset of 329 billion tokens, the model was effectively trained using a strategy called Expert Computation and Storage Separation (ECSS), which resulted in a remarkable 6.3-fold improvement in training throughput through the use of heterogeneous computing. Through various experiments, it was found that PanGu-{\Sigma} achieves a new benchmark in zero-shot learning across multiple downstream tasks in Chinese NLP, showcasing its potential in advancing the field. This advancement signifies a major leap forward in the capabilities of language models, illustrating the impact of innovative training techniques and architectural modifications.
