Recent discussions among researchers highlight the evolving utility of large language models (LLMs) in various applications. N. Carlini, a researcher at DeepMind, noted that he has become at least 50% faster in writing code for both research and side projects due to LLMs. This sentiment is echoed by others, who emphasize that while LLMs are primarily effective in generating text and code, their eloquence in text generation may not be as strong. Additionally, there is a growing interest in understanding the practical applications of LLMs beyond coding, with inquiries about their use in areas such as chess and math problem-solving. The Simple-Bench benchmark has also been referenced, suggesting that while LLMs can mimic human reasoning, their strengths lie in their designed functions rather than true reasoning capabilities.
Thank you, @BobbyGRG. LLMs excel in language processing, as @karpathy and @ylecun have emphasized. The Simple-Bench (reasoning) benchmark indicates that while LLMs may resemble ‘human reasoning,’ that’s not their core function. They’re exceptional at what they’re designed for,… https://t.co/NCzXj1LcV4
Smol models are great, but they're also a bit biased (trying out some on-policy distillation on Qwen2-0.5B) 😁 User: What is the best use case for LLMs? Assistant: LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs. LLMs.…
LLMs seem to be finding most market fit in generating text or code. They are not particularly eloquent in text, but code doesn’t need to be eloquent to be functional.
