DeepSeek-V2
DeepSeek-V2 is a state-of-the-art Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model introduced by DeepSeek-AI, characterized by its economical training and efficient inference capabilities. With a total of 236 billion parameters, of which only 21 billion are active per token, it supports a context length of up to 128K tokens. DeepSeek-V2 employs innovative architectures like Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) for efficient inference by compressing the Key-Value (KV) cache and DeepSeekMoE for cost-effective training through sparse computation. This model significantly outperforms its predecessor, DeepSeek 67B, by saving 42.5% in training costs, reducing the KV cache by 93.3%, and enhancing generation throughput by 5.76 times. Pretrained on an 8.1 trillion token corpus, DeepSeek-V2 excels in language understanding, coding, and reasoning tasks, making it a top-tier performer among open-source models.

BERT
BERT is a large language model and a method of pre-training language representations. Pre-training refers to how BERT is first trained on a large source of text, such as Wikipedia. You can then apply the training results to other Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, such as question answering and sentiment analysis. With BERT and AI Platform Training, you can train a variety of NLP models in about 30 minutes.

LLaVA
LLaVA (Large Language-and-Vision Assistant) is an innovative multimodal model that integrates a vision encoder with the Vicuna language model to facilitate comprehensive visual and language understanding. Through end-to-end training, LLaVA exhibits impressive chat capabilities, emulating the multimodal functionalities of models like GPT-4. Notably, LLaVA-1.5 has achieved state-of-the-art performance across 11 benchmarks, utilizing publicly available data and completing training in approximately one day on a single 8-A100 node, surpassing methods that rely on billion-scale datasets. The development of LLaVA involved the creation of a multimodal instruction-following dataset, generated using language-only GPT-4. This dataset comprises 158,000 unique language-image instruction-following samples, including conversations, detailed descriptions, and complex reasoning tasks. This data has been instrumental in training LLaVA to perform a wide array of visual and language tasks effectively.
