AI models are becoming smarter and more sophisticated and we’re increasingly using them to do everything, from making medical diagnoses easier to accurately predicting violent solar flares. And as teams work on building models that can so more, the volume and complexity of data require large AI models. <\/span>Training AI<\/span><\/a> models is not a one-size-fits-all process. Large models require billions, even trillions of training parameters and enormous datasets for accuracy. This primer on large scale model training provides insights into the training process and some of the challenges teams can expect.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is large AI model training?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Large model training involves training large and complex AI models with very high volumes of data. There’s no clearly defined benchmark of what a large model is and with the rapid pace of AI evolution, models are growing ever larger and more complex with each iteration. Back in 2018, GPT-1 was considered a large-scale model with 117 million parameters. However, by 2023, GPT-4 boasted 1.7 million parameters.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Training models at this scale requires spreading the workload across different high-performance computing systems, a process known as distributed computing. This horizontal scaling increases the capacity of training hardware so it can handle massive datasets.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Teams also employ a technique known as parallelism which is designed to accelerate data processing by performing multiple tasks on the dataset at the same time.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
