Transformers have revolutionized natural language processing as the foundation of large language models (LLMs), excelling in modeling long-range dependencies through self-attention mechanisms. However, as these models grow deeper and more complex, training stability presents a significant challenge that directly impacts performance. Researchers face a troublesome trade-off between two primary normalization strategies: Pre-Layer Normalization (Pre-Norm) and… Read more

Large language models (LLMs) models primarily depend on their internal knowledge, which can be inadequate when handling real-time or knowledge-intensive questions. This limitation often leads to inaccurate responses or hallucinations, making it essential to enhance LLMs with external search capabilities. By leveraging reinforcement learning, researchers are actively working on methods to improve these models’ ability… Read more

In this tutorial, we implement a Bilingual Chat Assistant powered by Arcee’s Meraj-Mini model, which is deployed seamlessly on Google Colab using T4 GPU. This tutorial showcases the capabilities of open-source language models while providing a practical, hands-on experience in deploying state-of-the-art AI solutions within the constraints of free cloud resources.
