In this riveting episode of Aladdin Persson's channel, we witness the relentless pursuit of streaming perfection. The team grapples with the limitations of their trusty MacBook when attempting to stream in glorious 4k resolution, only to face the dreaded lag. Despite the lack of concrete streaming plans, they boldly dive into the world of visual language models, particularly the groundbreaking Cog VM with a staggering 17 billion parameters. A comparison with the underwhelming Lava model sets the stage for an epic showdown of performance and prowess.
As the team delves into the intricate architecture of Cog VM, combining image and text features with vit MLP adapter and a pre-trained language model, the sheer complexity of this cutting-edge technology unfolds before their eyes. Drawing insights from the Lava paper, they uncover the model's innovative use of symbolic representations for image decoding, shedding light on the inner workings of these formidable language models. With plans to test Cog VM's mettle in tasks ranging from detail description to visual question answering, the team prepares to push the boundaries of AI capabilities.
Amidst the technical challenges of setting up Cog VM on a virtual machine and navigating the installation of NVIDIA drivers on Ubuntu, the team's determination shines through. Contemplating the potential of Big AGI for chat customization and pondering the benefits of renting workstations for model experimentation, they stand at the precipice of AI innovation. Through their relentless pursuit of excellence and unwavering curiosity, Aladdin Persson's team embodies the spirit of exploration and discovery in the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.
