๐ PawMatchAI: Making Breed Selection More Intuitive! ๐ Excited to share the latest update to this AI-powered companion for finding your perfect furry friend! I've made significant architectural improvements to enhance breed recognition accuracy and feature detection.
โจ What's New? Enhanced breed recognition through advanced morphological feature analysis: - Implemented a sophisticated feature extraction system that analyzes specific characteristics like body proportions, head features, tail structure, fur texture, and color patterns - Added an intelligent attention mechanism that dynamically focuses on the most relevant features for each image - Improved multi-dog detection capabilities through enhanced spatial feature analysis - Achieved better precision in distinguishing subtle breed characteristics
๐ฏ Key Features: Smart breed recognition powered by advanced AI architecture Visual matching scores with intuitive color indicators Detailed breed comparisons with interactive tooltips Lifestyle-based recommendations tailored to your needs
๐ญ Project Vision Combining my passion for AI and pets, this project represents another step toward creating meaningful AI applications. Each update aims to make the breed selection process more accessible while improving the underlying technology.
๐ฐ๏ธ Llama-3.1-405B took 39 million GPU-hours to train, i.e. about 4.5 thousand years.
๐ด๐ป If they had needed all this time, we would have GPU stories from the time of Pharaoh ๐: "Alas, Lord of Two Lands, the shipment of counting-stones arriving from Cathay was lost to pirates, this shall delay the building of your computing temple by many moons "
๐ ๏ธ But instead, they just parallelized the training on 24k H100s, which made it take just a few months. This required parallelizing across 4 dimensions: data, tensor, context, pipeline. And it is infamously hard to do, making for bloated code repos that hold together only by magic.

A team has built Nanotron, already widely used in industry. And now a team releases Picotron, a radical approach to code 4D Parallelism in just a few hundred lines of code, a real engineering prowess, making it much easier to understand what's actually happening!

(Caution: the team is leading further benchmarks to verify this)
