Will ChatGPT be bitten by Mamba as it beats AI language models?
Written by FM 100 on January 24, 2024
The machine learning discussion forums are undergoing change due to a recent algorithmic breakthrough in the form of Mamba language model being promoted as an improvement on the Transformer model, which is the foundation of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Transformers, such as Gemini, Claude, and others, are the de facto models utilised by the majority of generative AI chatbots, according to Interesting Engineering.
The two scholars that added the cutting-edge research paper to Arxiv are one from Carnegie Mellon and the other from Princeton. Since its December 2023 publication, it has garnered a lot of attention.
According to the researchers, Mamba works better on actual data with sequences of up to a million tokens than Transformers, and it is five times faster than Transformers.
The research states that Mamba performs as well as Transformers twice its size in both training and testing and is an excellent general model for sequences in a variety of tasks, including language, audio, and genomics.
Like Large Language Models (LLMs), Mamba is a Structured State Model (SSM) that can conduct language modelling.
In essence, language modelling is how chatbots, such as ChatGPT, comprehend and produce text that seems human.
Large-scale neural networks and attention mechanisms are the means by which LLMs, such as ChatGPT, comprehend and produce text. They pay attention to many sentence components and digest information more continuously.
