Speculative Decoding for Faster Inference with Mixtral-8x7B and Gemma – Towards Data Science

7 min read Larger language models typically deliver superior performance but at the cost of reduced inference speed. For example, Llama 2 70B significantly outperforms Llama 2 7B in downstream tasks, but its inference speed is approximately 10 times slower. Many techniques and adjustments of decoding hyperparameters can speed up inference for very large LLMs

Use Rust’s Speed to Install Python Libraries Up to 100 Times Faster – Towards Data Science

6 min read For data scientists and Python programmers, pip needs no introduction. As a package manager, it is either the go-to solution or the starting point in our search for the best solution out there. Trivia alert : While pip doesnt require an introduction, I have only just learned that it actually stands for Pip Installs Packages or Preferred Installer Program

How to Generate Instruction Datasets from Any Documents for LLM Fine-Tuning – Towards Data Science

Generate high-quality synthetic datasets economically using lightweight libraries Large Language Models (LLMs) are capable and general-purpose tools, but often they lack domain-specific knowledge, which is frequently stored in enterprise repositories. Fine-tuning a custom LLM with your own data can bridge this gap, and data preparation is the first step in this process. It is also a crucial step that can significantly influence your fine-tuned models performance.
