- Change in perspective is necessary because some abilities only emerge at a certain scale. Some conclusions from the past are invalidated and we need to constantly unlearn intuitions built on top of such ideas.
- From first-principles, scaling up the Transformer amounts to efficiently doing matrix multiplications with many, many machines.
- Further scaling (think 10000x GPT-4 scale). It entails finding the inductive bias that is the bottleneck in further scaling.

Q-Former (Querying Transformer)
: A transformer model that consists of two submodules that share the same self-attention layers: an image transformer that interacts with a frozen image encoder for visual feature extraction, and a text transformer that can function as both a text encoder and a text decoder.- Q-Former is a lightweight transformer which employs a set of learnable query vectors to extract visual features from the frozen image encoder. It acts as an information bottleneck between the frozen image encoder and the frozen LLM.

- Diffusion Models vs. GANs vs. VAEs: Comparison of Deep Generative Models [12 May 2023]
Model | Description | Strengths | Weaknesses |
---|---|---|---|
GANs | Two neural networks, a generator and a discriminator, work together. The generator creates synthetic samples, and the discriminator distinguishes between real and generated samples. | Unsupervised learning, able to mimic data distributions without labeled data, and are versatile in applications like image synthesis, super-resolution, and style transfer | Known for potentially unstable training and less diversity in generation. |
VAEs | Consists of an encoder and a decoder. The encoder maps input data into a low-dimensional representation, and the decoder reconstructs the original input data from this representation. e.g, DALLE |
Efficient at learning latent representations and can be used for tasks like data denoising and anomaly detection, in addition to data generation. | Dependent on an approximate loss function. |
Diffusion Models | Consists of forward and reverse diffusion processes. Forward diffusion adds noise to input data until white noise is obtained. The reverse diffusion process removes the noise to recover the original data. e.g, Stable Diffusion |
Capable of producing high-quality, step-by-step samples. | Multi-step (often 1000) generation process. |
