  • Publication number: 20240311405
    Abstract: Implementations disclose selecting, in response to receiving a request and from among multiple candidate generative models (e.g., multiple candidate large language models (LLMs)) with differing computational efficiencies, a particular generative model to utilize in generating a response to the request. Those implementations reduce latency and/or conserve computational resource(s) through selection, for various requests, of a more computationally efficient generative model for utilization in lieu of a less computationally efficient generative model. Further, those implementations seek to achieve such benefits, through utilization of more computationally efficient generative models, while also still selectively utilizing less computationally efficient generative models for certain requests to mitigate occurrences of a generated response being inaccurate and/or under-specified.

  • Patent number: 12001509
    Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure is directed to systems and methods that perform adaptive optimization with improved convergence properties. The adaptive optimization techniques described herein are useful in various optimization scenarios, including, for example, training a machine-learned model such as, for example, a neural network. In particular, according to one aspect of the present disclosure, a system implementing the adaptive optimization technique can, over a plurality of iterations, employ an adaptive per coordinate clipping threshold to clip a current first moment of the coordinate to obtain a current update value that enables faster convergence for the machine-learned model when the noise in the stochastic gradients is heavy tailed.
