It's still early innings but already we are ready to call OpenAI's 12 Days of Shipmas a hit. While yesterday's Sora launch is still (as of today) plagued with gated signups to deal with overwhelming demand, ChatGPT Canvas needs no extra GPUs and launched to all free and paid users today with no hiccup.

Canvas now effectively supercedes Code Interpreter and is also remarkably Google Docs-like, which further demonstrates the tendency of OpenAI to build Google features faster than Google can build OpenAI.

There's a theory that the jokes ending each episode are a preview of the next one. If this is true, tomorrow's ship will be a doozy.

/r/LocalLlama Recap

Theme 1. Llama 3.3-70B Finetuning: 90K Context on <41GB VRAM

• Llama 3.3 (70B) Finetuning - now with 90K context length and fits on <41GB VRAM. (Score: 360, Comments: 63): Llama 3.3 (70B) can now be fine-tuned to support 90,000 context lengths using Unsloth, which is significantly longer than the 6,900 context lengths supported by Hugging Face + FA2 on an 80GB GPU. This improvement is achieved through gradient checkpointing and Apple's Cut Cross Entropy (CCE) algorithm, and the model fits on 41GB of VRAM. Additionally, Llama 3.1 (8B) can reach 342,000 context lengths using Unsloth, vastly surpassing its native support of 128K context lengths.
  • Unsloth uses gradient checkpointing to offload activations to system RAM, saving 10 to 100GB of GPU memory, and Apple's Cut Cross Entropy (CCE) performs cross entropy loss on the GPU, reducing the need for large logits matrices, which further saves memory. This allows models to fit on 41GB of VRAM.
  • Users are curious about the rank used in the tests and the potential for multi-GPU support, which is currently unavailable but in development. There's also interest in making Unsloth compatible with Apple devices.
  • The Unsloth tool is praised for democratizing fine-tuning capabilities, making advanced techniques accessible to the general public, and potentially reducing costs by allowing the use of smaller 48GB GPUs.

• Hugging Face releases Text Generation Inference TGI v3.0 - 13x faster than vLLM on long prompts 🔥 (Score: 347, Comments: 52): Hugging Face has released Text Generation Inference (TGI) v3.0, which processes 3x more tokens and is 13x faster than vLLM on long prompts, with zero configuration needed. By optimizing memory usage, a single L4 (24GB) can handle 30k tokens on llama 3.1-8B, while vLLM manages only 10k, and the new version reduces reply times on long prompts from 27.5s to 2s. Benchmark details are available for verification.
  • TGI v3.0 Performance: Discussions highlight the significant speed improvements of TGI v3.0 over vLLM, particularly in handling long prompts due to the implementation of cached prompt processing. The library can respond almost instantly by keeping the initial conversation data, with a lookup overhead of approximately 5 microseconds.
  • Comparison and Usage Scenarios: Users expressed interest in comparisons between TGI v3 and other models like TensorRT-LLM and ExLlamaV2, as well as queries about its performance on short queries and multi-GPU setups. There is also curiosity about TGI's suitability for single versus multi-user scenarios, with some users acknowledging its optimized use for hosting models for multiple users.
  • Support and Documentation: Questions arose about the support for consumer-grade RTX cards like the 3090, as current documentation lists only enterprise Nvidia accelerators. Additionally, users are interested in the roadmap for adding features like streaming tool calls and any potential drop in output quality compared to fp16 processing.
