Loss Functions in PyTorch Models

The loss metric is very important for neural networks. As all machine learning models are one optimization problem or another, the loss is the objective function to minimize. In neural networks, the optimization is done with gradient descent and backpropagation. But what are loss functions, and how are they affecting your neural networks? In this …

How should AI systems behave, and who should decide?

We’re clarifying how ChatGPT’s behavior is shaped and our plans for improving that behavior, allowing more user customization, and getting more public input into our decision-making in these areas. OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI)[1] benefits all of humanity. We therefore think a lot about the behavior of AI systems we …

Scaling Large Language Model (LLM) training with Amazon EC2 Trn1 UltraClusters

Modern model pre-training often calls for larger cluster deployment to reduce time and cost. At the server level, such training workloads demand faster compute and increased memory allocation. As models grow to hundreds of billions of parameters, they require a distributed training mechanism that spans multiple nodes (instances). In October 2022, we launched Amazon EC2 …

8 ways to cut costs and drive profits using data and AI

We are increasingly seeing one question arise in virtually every customer conversation: How can the organization save costs and drive new revenue streams?  Everyone would love a crystal ball, but what you may not realize is that you already have one. It’s in your data. By leveraging Data Cloud and AI solutions, you can put …

UK’s Conservation AI Makes Huge Leap Detecting Threats to Endangered Species Across the Globe

The video above represents one of the first times that a pangolin, one of the world’s most critically endangered species, was detected in real time using artificial intelligence. A U.K.-based nonprofit called Conservation AI made this possible with the help of NVIDIA technology. Such use of AI can help track even the rarest, most reclusive …

What Stories Drive the Most Successful Digital Marketing Campaigns?

Have you ever made a purchase that you had to rationalize? Maybe it was very expensive. Or you didn’t really need it. Or it was reasonably priced and you needed it, but you had more urgent expenses. Whether the item was a new car, or a new phone, or a new pair of shoes, it’s …
