"Currently, the technology for 4-bit training does not exists, but research looks promising and I expect the first high performance FP4 Large Language Model (LLM) with competitive predictive performance to be trained in 1-2 years time." (see: https://timdettmers.com/2023/01/16/which-gpu-for-deep-learning/)

Granted, the model must be open source for us to know, so the market will resolve based on publicly available information.

predicts NO

Exclusively in FP4? Or does partially in FP4 count. What if the model is on average 60% FP4 over the course of training?

I guess you covered this with "trained in 4-bit (to some extent)"

predicts NO

predicts NO

@NoaNabeshima This is ab post-training precision adjustments

Competitive with what? SOTA with fp16?

predicts NO

This seems important @typedfemale
Will this resolve YES if scaling laws suggest a 4-bit model would be competitive if compute-matched to a SOTA 16-bit model?

predicts NO

(but there isn't a trained SOTA 4-bit model)

@NoaNabeshima Yes, you need to be better than everything else, but be trained in 4-bit (to some extent)

@typedfemale Finetuned w 4 bit would trigger Yes? 80% of parameters in 4 bit would trigger Yes?
