Language Models Are Super Mario: Absorbing Abilities from Homologous Models
Summary: Researchers have developed a method called DARE that allows language models to acquire new capabilities by assimilating parameters from homologous models without retraining or GPUs. DARE sparsifies delta parameters of multiple supervised fine-tuning models, mitigating parameter interference and merging them into a single model. Experiments show that DARE can merge task-specific LMs into one with diverse capabilities, enhancing performance and ranking first among models with 7 billion parameters on the Open LLM Leaderboard.

System/360 – CHM Revolution
Summary: In 1964, IBM introduced the System/360, a family of mainframe computers designed by Gene Amdahl. The System/360 was compatible across a range of speeds and peripherals and became IBM's most profitable product. It featured advanced hardware, including Solid Logic Technology (SLT) and large main memories, and used microprogramming for complex instructions. The OS/360 operating system was designed to run on all models, but faced challenges in development.
