Free Guide: How to Train LLMs from Scratch

The best teams building the large language models transforming our world train those models on Weights & Biases. In this whitepaper, we’ll share what we’ve learned from an insider’s perspective. You’ll read about:

  • How much data you need to train a competitive LLM
  • Balancing memory and compute efficiency
  • Different techniques for parallelization
  • Tokenization strategies and their tradeoffs
  • Model evaluation
  • How to mitigate bias and toxicity in your modeling
  • And a whole lot more

W&B enables the collaboration required to produce these complex, expensive models and push them to production. We’re happy to showcase a few things we’ve learned along the way. The whitepaper is free and will be emailed to you via the form on the right.

“For us, Weights and Biases was a game-changer. No other MLOps tool available allows for rapid iteration of AI experiments with the same ease of sharing results, annotating interesting behavior, and long-term storage of logging data.”

“W&B lets us examine all of our candidate models at once. This is vital for understanding which model will work best for each customer. Reports have [also] been great for us. They allow us to seamlessly communicate nuanced technical information in a way that’s digestible for non-technical teams.”
