Which was incredible, we chatted about Falcon 180B,had a great interview in the end with 3 authors of the YaRN scaling paper and LLongMa 128K context, had 3 breaking news! in the middle, MOJO🔥 has been released and Adept released a LLaMa comparable OSS model (and friend of the pod) @reach_vb showed an open ASR leaderboard on hugging face! We also covered an incredible tiny model called StarCoder 1B that was finetuned by friend of the pod (who joined the space to talk to us about it!)
