Nvidia AI has developed a new type of transformer architecture called the Normalized Transformer (nGPT) that uses hypersphere-based normalization.
This innovation significantly speeds up the training process for large language models (LLMs) by 4 to 20 times while also improving stability. The nGPT addresses the challenges of vanishing gradients and unstable training dynamics present in traditional transformer models.
By restricting activations to a hypersphere, it creates a more stable training landscape, leading to faster convergence and better performance.
This breakthrough has the potential to accelerate LLM training and reduce computational costs.
