Tricks to Fine Tuning // MLOps Podcast #318 with Prithviraj Ammanabrolu, Research Scientist at Databricks.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinIn Get the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter // AbstractPrithviraj Ammanabrolu drops by to break down Tao fine-tuning—a clever way to train models without labeled data. Using reinforcement learning and synthetic data, Tao teaches models to evaluate and improve themselves. Raj explains how this works, where it shines (think small models punching above their weight), and why it could be a game-changer for efficient deployment.// BioRaj is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, San Diego, leading the PEARLS Lab in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). He is also a Research Scientist at Mosaic AI, Databricks, where his team is actively recruiting research scientists and engineers with expertise in reinforcement learning and distributed systems.Previously, he was part of the Mosaic team at the Allen Institute for AI.

This week on the Farm Companion, we're locking in the plan for our next trip back to Illinois—fine-tuning every inch of the farm as spring gives way to summer. It's all about putting in the work now that pays off when it counts. We're getting switchgrass in the ground, planting beans, and spraying to stay ahead of the curve before it's time to drop brassicas this fall. Every move we make is with the hunt in mind—thinking ahead, setting the table, and building a farm that hunts better every year. This is the grind that separates a decent sit from a season you remember. Thanks for riding along on this week's Farm Companion. Fall starts now—sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL HERE:https://www.youtube.com/c/HUNTRTUBEBuy some merch on our website:https://wearehuntr.com/HUNTR Podcast is presented by:Hoyt Archery: https://hoyt.com (USE CODE HUNTR FOR 20% OFF APPAREL)DeerGro: https://www.deergro.com (USE CODE HUNTR FOR 15% OFF)Beast Broadheads: https://beastbroadheads.com/(USE CODE HUNTR FOR 10% OFF)RackHub: https://www.rack-hub.com/huntr (USE CODE HUNTR FOR 10% OFF)Pure Wildlife Blends: https://www.purewildlifeblends.com (USE CODE HUNTR10 FOR 10% OFF)Lone Wolf Custom Gear: https://www.lonewolfcustomgear.com/(USE CODE HUNTR FOR 7% OFF)Better Backstrap: https://betterbackstrap.com/(USE CODE HUNTR15 FOR 15% OFF)Spartan Forge: https://spartanforge.ai/(USE CODE HUNTR20 FOR 20% OFF)

In dieser Folge geht's um die Frage: Macht Größe von Large Language Models (LLMs) bei Predictive Analytics wirklich einen Unterschied? Wir vergleichen Open-Source-Modelle mit bis zu 70 Milliarden Parametern – und siehe da, das 8B-Modell schlägt das große Schwergewicht. Außerdem berichten wir vom Finetuning auf einer AWS-Maschine mit 8 A100-GPUs und den Herausforderungen in Bezug auf die Reproduzierbarkeit. Auch das viel diskutierte DeepSeek-Modell haben wir im Autopreis-Benchmark antreten lassen. Und wie immer fragen wir uns: Was ist praktisch und was ist overkill?   **Zusammenfassung** Modellgröße ≠ bessere Prognosen: Das Llama-3.1-8B übertraf das größere 70B-Modell bei der Fahrzeugpreisprognose DeepSeek im Benchmark: Das chinesische Modell zeigt bei größeren Trainingsmengen eine ähnlich gute Performance wie das Llama-3.1-8B, ist bei kleinen Datensätzen aber schwächer Finetuning mit Multi-GPU auf AWS: Für das 70B-Modell war ein Setup mit 8 A100-GPUs nötig Reproduzierbarkeit bleibt schwierig: Trotz Seed erzeugen wiederholte Finetuning-Runs unterschiedliche Ergebnisse Modellselektion empfohlen: Um zuverlässige Prognosen zu erhalten, sollte aus mehreren Finetuning-Durchläufen das beste Modell ausgewählt werden CPU-Inferenz möglich, aber langsam: Im Vergleich zur GPU war die Vorhersage auf der CPU ca. 30-mal langsamer, Quantisierung könnte künftig Abhilfe schaffen Ausblick auf TabPFN & Quantisierung: Kommende Beiträge widmen sich Erfahrungen mit TabPFN und der praktischen Umsetzung von quantisierten LLMs auf kleineren Maschinen **Links** [Begleitender Blogartikel] Predictive LLMs: Skalierung, Reproduzierbarkeit & DeepSeek https://www.inwt-statistics.de/blog/predictive-llms-skalierung-reproduzierbarkeit-und-deepseek #50: Predictive Analytics mit LLMs: ist GPT3.5 besser als XGBoost? https://inwt.podbean.com/e/50-predictive-analytics-mit-llms-ist-gpt35-besser-als-xgboost/ #64: Predictive LLMs: Übertreffen Open-Source-Modelle jetzt OpenAI und XGBoost bei Preisprognosen https://inwt.podbean.com/e/64-predictive-llms-ubertreffen-open-source-modelle-jetzt-openai-und-xgboost-bei-preisprognosen/ vLLM Framework für schnelle Inferenz: https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm?tab=readme-ov-file torchtune Finetuning-Framework von PyTorch: https://github.com/pytorch/torchtune PyTorch Reproducibility: https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/randomness.html Paper zur Reproduzierbarkeit von QLoRA-Finetuning: S.

Philosopher Phillip Goff explores the nature of consciousness, reality, and the complexities of the human experience. He dives deep into pan-psychism and its surprising intersection with mystic religions. Drawing from his decades of research, he speaks on our finely-tuned universe, meaning/ purpose of life, quantum mechanics, and the Many World's Theory. The discussion culminates in a call to move beyond polarization and dogma in the pursuit of truth.Andrés Book Recs: https://www.knowthyself.one/books___________0:00 Intro2:07 Where the Great Thinkers of the Past Went Wrong5:53 Does the Brain Produce Consciousness?9:50 The Problem with the Verification Principle12:20 Do Our Senses Mislead Us?15:26 Panpsychism & The Hard Problem of Consciousness22:56 Complexity of Human Consciousness 26:26 Can Mathematics Ever Explain Consciousness? 30:47 How the Brain Correlates to Conscious Experience 34:46 Why It's So Hard to Solve This (Science is Asking the Wrong Questions) 38:33 Purpose & Meaning of Life40:26 Sentience in Objects, Plants, and Animals43:09 Where Panpsychism Meets Spirituality 46:38 An Ethical Structure to Reality49:42 Examples of How The Universe is Finely Tuned56:08 Making Sense of Life's Mystery 58:38 Teleological Laws of Nature1:02:13 Facing the Uncertainty of Reality 1:06:05 Examining Truth & Religion1:13:27 Addressing His Beliefs Around Christianity 1:25:13 The Mystical Side of Religions 1:32:53 Many World's Theory & Multiverses1:44:19 Going Beyond Quantum Physics1:50:25 Beyond Polarization & Dogma, Seeking Truth1:56:28 Conclusion ___________Episode Resources: https://philipgoffphilosophy.comhttps://amzn.eu/d/0O1FI6Ohttps://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyself.oneListen to the show:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4bZMq9lApple: https://apple.co/4iATICX

Does Science Prove the Universe Had a Beginning? Apologetics Study Part 2 (James Sinclair)

"The Cosmological argument is a family of arguments that seek to demonstrate the existence of a Sufficient Reason or First Cause of the existence of the cosmos... The kalam cosmological argument traces its roots to the efforts of early Christian theologians who, out of their commitment to the biblical teaching of creation ex nihilo, sought to rebut the Aristotelian doctrine of the eternity of the universe." The argument is extremely simple: 1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause. 2. The universe began to exist. 3. Therefore, the universe has a cause. This is part 2 of our apologetics study as we work through "The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology." James Sinclair, co-author of the chapter on the kalam cosmological argument with William Lane Craig, joins the show to discuss the scientific evidence in support of premise 2. We look at the FRW mode, astronomical evidence for the Big Bang, the Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems, the BVG theorem, quantum gravity approaches, and the exceptions to each of these approaches. Come join the conversation and bring your questions! James D. Sinclair (MS Physics Texas A&M, BS Physics Carnegie-Mellon) is a senior anti-air warfare analyst for the United States Navy with a specialty in the constructive (digital only) modeling of air-to-air combat. Some career accomplishments include analytical support for the fielding of the AIM-9X Sidewinder missile, combat utility evaluation of the F-35 Lighting II, and presentations at public symposia such as the Military Operations Research Society (MORS) and the Combat Identification Systems Conference (CISC). He began to interview cosmologists in the early 2000s on the topic of the beginnings of the universe, bringing Navy knowledge integration methods to the formulation known as the Kalam Cosmological Argument. This ultimately led to a collaboration with philosopher William Lane Craig and two co-authored articles: “The Kalam Cosmological Argument,” in The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology and “On Non-Singular Spacetimes and the Beginning of the Universe,” in Scientific Approaches to the Philosophy of Religion. He also co-authored the article "Fine-Tuning and Indications of Transcendent Intelligence" with Robert Spitzer.

In neuroscience research, very small details can make a big difference in the results and in the way they are interpreted. If research conditions aren't carefully optimized, studies can produce inconsistent or unreliable findings, and can stall research in specific fields for months, sometimes even years. By fine-tuning their research parameters, scientists can get clearer, more accurate insights into how the brain really works. In this grad student interview episode, we discuss why optimizing basic research parameters is important to understand the pathological mechanisms of stroke. Sophie Wolkoff is a recent graduate from the Centre for Neuroscience Studies at Queen's University , where she completed her master's degree. As a master's student, she studied under the supervision of Dr. David Andrew. Their research focused on "spreading depolarizations", which are a cellular phenomenon that occurs in the brain following strokes and other traumatic brain injuries. For her thesis in particular, Sophie conducted research on how temperature affects spreading depolarization, as well as how both of these factors can influence the preparation of rodent brain slices. Aside from her passion for neuroscience, she loves traveling, rock-climbing, and spending time with family and friends.

In this episode, I clarify the difference between reflecting feelings as a standalone reflective response and reflecting feelings within limit-setting (ACT model). While both serve important functions in CCPT, they operate differently—one builds emotional vocabulary, while the other provides validation and structure within a limit. I also address a common mistake: reflecting cognitions instead of emotions. Therapists often acknowledge what a child is thinking instead of what they are feeling, which can miss the deeper emotional experience. Understanding these distinctions ensures that our responses in the playroom are both accurate and effective in supporting children's emotional growth. If you've ever wondered why reflecting feelings looks different inside and outside of limit-setting, this episode breaks it down step by step.

We talk to Google DeepMind Senior Research Scientist (and incoming Assistant Professor at Harvard), Yilun Du, about his latest paper "Multiagent Finetuning: Self Improvement with Diverse Reasoning Chains." This paper introduces a multiagent finetuning framework that enhances the performance and diversity of language models by employing a society of agents with distinct roles, improving feedback mechanisms and overall output quality.The method enables autonomous self-improvement through iterative finetuning, achieving significant performance gains across various reasoning tasks. It's versatile, applicable to both open-source and proprietary LLMs, and can integrate with human-feedback-based methods like RLHF or DPO, paving the way for future advancements in language model development.Read an overview on the blogWatch the full discussionLearn more about AI observability and evaluation in our course, join the Arize AI Slack community or get the latest on LinkedIn and X.

Does the scientific evidence fall short of proving the fine-tuning of the universe? Should Christians regularly "feel God's presence"? And since there are minor differences in the Gospels, does that disprove biblical inerrancy? In this midweek podcast episode, Frank tackles three more BIG questions from our listening audience along with question like:What are the 3 levels of fine-tuning and does it only occur here on planet Earth?Can the fine-tuning argument alone actually prove Christianity is true? And can all truth be explained through science?Where exactly are Heaven and Hell?What's the true meaning of Christmas?Is loving God an emotion, a feeling, or a decision?If God chooses not to reveal Himself to us is that proof that He doesn't exist?What's a great question to ask your skeptic friends?Have a question you'd like Frank to address in a future episode?
