What is a "kernel" in this context? It doesn't seem to be related to the OS kernel but some kind of graphics kernel? Whatever that is...
In the context of machine learning, usually a list of numbers that is arranged in a certain way, and is used for mathematical operation. You can think of it as a transfer/transform "function" that takes data as input, and spits out the representation of said data in some other way (that we usually don't know until the training is finished and we analyze the result)
The weights for the neural network or the embeddings?
Awesome use of LLMs. I wonder they didn’t use FP8 quantization though, especially since their target hardware was an L40s.
