Super interesting talk!! Do u guys have any idea how the compilation-generated decoding kernel compares against custom kernels like Flash-Decoding or Flash-Decoding++?

But ctranslate2 as i understand still faster?

Wow! It was very educational and practical!
I liked the graphics in the presentation!
Great job by both of you!
Thanks!

One thing that was not super clear to me. Are we loading the next weight matrix (assuming there is enough SRAM), as the previous matmul+activation is being computed?

Wow, this presentation was excellent. Straight to the point. No over-complicating, no over-simplifying, no trying to sound smart by obscuring simple things. Thank you Horace!

I didn't understand one of the points made. In a couple of occasions Horace mentions that we are loading all the weights (into the registers I assume) with every token – that's also what the diagram shows at https://youtu.be/18YupYsH5vY?t=1972 . Is that what's happening? Can the registers load all the model weights at once? If that were the case why do you need to load them every time instead of leaving them untouched. I hope that's a not too stupid of a question.

How does PPL look at int4 quants? Also, given GPTQ, how high is the tps with gpt-fast?

Your questions about why fast-gpt is faster than the cuda version: kernel fusion, merging kernels into one is faster than multiple hand written ones

speculative decoding is major thing, right? If so, not very fair comparison…

Horace He joined us to walk us through what can one do with native PyTorch when it comes to accelerating inference!
