PanGu-α Description
PanGu-a was developed under MindSpore, and trained on 2048 Ascend AI processors. The MindSpore Auto-parallel parallelism strategy was implemented to scale the training task efficiently to 2048 processors. This includes data parallelism as well as op-level parallelism. We pretrain PanGu-a with 1.1TB of high-quality Chinese data collected from a variety of domains in order to enhance its generalization ability. We test the generation abilities of PanGua in different scenarios, including text summarizations, question answering, dialog generation, etc. We also investigate the effects of model scaling on the few shot performances across a wide range of Chinese NLP task. The experimental results show that PanGu-a is superior in performing different tasks with zero-shot or few-shot settings.

VideoPoet
VideoPoet, a simple modeling technique, can convert any large language model or autoregressive model into a high quality video generator. It is composed of a few components. The autoregressive model learns from video, image, text, and audio modalities in order to predict the next audio or video token in the sequence. The LLM training framework introduces a mixture of multimodal generative objectives, including text to video, text to image, image-to video, video frame continuation and inpainting/outpainting, styled video, and video-to audio. Moreover, these tasks can be combined to provide additional zero-shot capabilities. This simple recipe shows how language models can edit and synthesize videos with a high level of temporal consistency.

OPT
The ability of large language models to learn in zero- and few shots, despite being trained for hundreds of thousands or even millions of days, has been remarkable. These models are expensive to replicate, due to their high computational cost. The few models that are available via APIs do not allow access to the full weights of the model, making it difficult to study. Open Pre-trained Transformers is a suite decoder-only pre-trained transforms with parameters ranging from 175B to 125M. We aim to share this fully and responsibly with interested researchers. We show that OPT-175B has a carbon footprint of 1/7th that of GPT-3. We will also release our logbook, which details the infrastructure challenges we encountered, as well as code for experimenting on all of the released model.

PanGu-Σ
The expansion of large language model has led to significant advancements in natural language processing, understanding and generation. This study introduces a new system that uses Ascend 910 AI processing units and the MindSpore framework in order to train a language with over one trillion parameters, 1.085T specifically, called PanGu-Sigma. This model, which builds on the foundation laid down by PanGu-alpha transforms the traditional dense Transformer model into a sparse model using a concept called Random Routed Experts. The model was trained efficiently on a dataset consisting of 329 billion tokens, using a technique known as Expert Computation and Storage Separation. This led to a 6.3 fold increase in training performance via heterogeneous computer. The experiments show that PanGu-Sigma is a new standard for zero-shot learning in various downstream Chinese NLP tasks.

GPT-J
GPT-J, a cutting edge language model developed by EleutherAI, is a leading-edge language model. GPT-J's performance is comparable to OpenAI's GPT-3 model on a variety of zero-shot tasks. GPT-J, in particular, has shown that it can surpass GPT-3 at tasks relating to code generation. The latest version of this language model is GPT-J-6B and is built on a linguistic data set called The Pile. This dataset is publically available and contains 825 gibibytes worth of language data organized into 22 subsets. GPT-J has some similarities with ChatGPT. However, GPTJ is not intended to be a chatbot. Its primary function is to predict texts. Databricks made a major development in March 2023 when they introduced Dolly, an Apache-licensed model that follows instructions.
