One of the big things here is they've actually taken the, so the initial like 1 trillion parameter model and they shrunk it down to about like 325 gigs. Previously it would have been 605 gigs at full precision. So they've done this w...”

Training Data
Memory and Continual Learning: Engram's Dan Biderman and Jessy Lin
“Does this approach work on the frontier models or the closed frontier models?”
