Analysis
This project is incredibly exciting! The development of SpicaLM, a Transformer-based SLM, from the ground up using C++17 and CUDA is a testament to the power of hands-on learning and innovation. By eschewing existing AI frameworks, the team is diving deep into the inner workings of LLMs, which is a fantastic step forward.
Key Takeaways
- •SpicaLM is a Transformer-based Small Language Model (SLM) built entirely in C++17 and CUDA.
- •The project emphasizes building everything from scratch, avoiding reliance on existing AI frameworks.
- •SpicaLM supports a full pipeline: data preprocessing, tokenization, training, and inference.
