PanGu-Σ

PanGu-α is developed under the MindSpore and trained on a cluster of 2048 Ascend 910 AI processors. The training parallelism strategy is implemented based on MindSpore Auto-parallel, which composes five parallelism dimensions to scale the training task to 2048 processors efficiently, including data parallelism, op-level model parallelism, pipeline model parallelism, optimizer model parallelism and rematerialization. To enhance the generalization ability of PanGu-α, we collect 1.1TB high-quality Chinese data from a wide range of domains to pretrain the model. We empirically test the generation ability of PanGu-α in various scenarios including text summarization, question answering, dialogue generation, etc. Moreover, we investigate the effect of model scales on the few-shot performances across a broad range of Chinese NLP tasks. The experimental results demonstrate the superior capabilities of PanGu-α in performing various tasks under few-shot or zero-shot settings.

Magic’s LTM-1 enables 50x larger context windows than transformers. Magic's trained a Large Language Model (LLM) that’s able to take in the gigantic amounts of context when generating suggestions. For our coding assistant, this means Magic can now see your entire repository of code. Larger context windows can allow AI models to reference more explicit, factual information and their own action history. We hope to be able to utilize this research to improve reliability and coherence.
