Ling 2.6 Flash990 words
Alright — let's break this down step by step. Step 1: Understanding what “training GPT-3” means in FLOPs terms Training a large language model involves: Forward passes through the transformer layers. Computing loss. Backward passes to compute gradients. Updating weights (optimizer step).
