We have 8 RSVPs right now. More are welcome :-)
Last time we had about 12 people - hope we can get similar numbers for this one :-) - Max
Isn't GPT3 already almost at the theoretical limit of the scaling law from the paper? This is what is argued by nostalgebraist in his blog and colab notebook. You also get this result if you just compare the 3.14E23 FLOP (i.e. 3.6k PFLOPS-days) cost of training GPT3 from the lambdalabs estimate to the ~10k PFLOPS-days limit from the paper.
(Of course, this doesn't imply that the post is wrong. I'm sure it's possible to train a radically larger GPT right now. It's just that the relevant bound is the availability of data, not of compute power.)
Hope to see you all there! We normally get 12-15 attendees and always spirited discussion :-)
