Mistral Local - déploiement d'un modèle de langage hors-ligne

Un modèle de langage (LM) est un modèle mathématique permettant à une machine d'analyser statistiquement les composants d'un texte. Un modèle de langage vise fondamentalement à prédire le le symbole (lettre, syllabe, mot...) suivant une séquence, ce qui s'étend à la génération de texte humain. Il existe plusieurs types de modèles de langage qui fonctionnent sur différents principes, tels que les modèles n-grams, les réseaux de neurones récurrents (RNN) et plus récemment, les grands modèles de langage (LLM)[1].

Une bonne introduction pratique est Brilliant: how LLMs work (nécessite un compte).

Alors qu'il est populaire d'interagir avec des LLM come ChatGPT via une interface web qui se connecte sur les serveurs d'OpenAI, ou par des API distantes, des alternatives existent.

Entre autres, l'approche de faire tourner un modèle en local (sur son ordinateur ou sur un VPS par exemple) présente certains avantages.

  1. Fonctionnement hors-ligne, aucune connexion à Internet n'est nécessaire.
  2. Accès à divers modèles (Llama 2, Vicuna, Mistral, OpenOrca, etc) potentiellement via une interface unifiée.
  3. Respect de la vie privée : aucune information ou métadonnée n'est transmise à un serveur distant.
  4. Expérimentation: le contrôle de paramètres locaux offre une exploration en profondeur les modèles open-source.
  5. Coût : les modèles open-source sont gratuits et certains d'entre eux peuvent être utilisés commercialement sans restrictions.

Quelques solutions de traitements locaux de modèles de langage :

  • Ollama - Application open source permettant d'interagir localement avec des LLM
  • Jan - Alternative open-source et auto-hébergée à ChatGPT
  • LM Studio - Application propriétaire de Element Labs permettant d'intergir localement avec des LLM
  • oobabooga - Une interface web locale pour les LLM

À noter que ces clients utilisent llama.cpp, une librairie créée par Georgi Gerganov.

Quelques modèles à expérimenter :

Aleph: from Earth to Sky

In our world surrounded by chaos and disorder, randomness drives evolution. But is everything random? No, according to the Jewish tradition. For instance, the shapes of Hebraic letters aren’t random. Quite the opposite actually: letters have been carefully designed.

Fantômatique chouette d'or

La chouette d'or est un jeu de piste transformé en une chasse au trésor, né en 1993.

La Chouette d'Or

Un jeu initialement légitime devenu victime du succès, un auteur submergé par une vague paréidolique victime de l'hubris, résultat le jeu de piste s'est probablement métamorphosé en canular (ou troll comme on dirait aujourd'hui).

C'est vers cette piste que mène le rasoir d'Ockham.

5 philosophical short stories for xmas

Time for a humble present, here are five philosophical short stories.

Isaac Asimov's The Last Question describes the world as a computer, or does it.

Daniel Dennett's Where am I takes Putnam's brain in a vat thought experiment to the next level.

Ursulas Le Guin's The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas is a tale of a city and its inhabitants.

Jorge Luis Borges' Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius is a literary labyrinth with broken paths.

Howard P. Lovecraft's Ex Oblivione is a mellow experience.

The possibility of a hyperstition

According to Nick Land, hyperstition is a positive feedback circuit including culture as a component. It can be defined as the experimental (techno-)science of self-fulfilling prophecies. Superstitions are merely false beliefs, but hyperstitions – by their very existence as ideas – function causally to bring about their own reality.

The possibility of an extitution

The point is, not to resist the flow. You go up when you are supposed to go up. And down when you’re supposed to go down. When you’re supposed to go up find the highest tower and climb to the top. When your are supposed to go down find the deepest well and go down to the bottom. Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (1997)

In Feÿ Castle (Burgundy, France) there is a well, a deep well. One of the kind which makes you realize: it would be a great idea to bury a time capsule at the very bottom.

Fey::well

Gravity law is hard, but it is the law.

Living for a few days with the Feÿtopian tribe in the Feÿ Castle is akin to an immersion inside a a strange mix between a digital Kibbutz, Abbaye de Thélème, and Rusty Lake.

Just to illustrate this, the utopian Thelemite motto in Rabelais’ Gargantua Faÿ ce que vouldras (do what you’ll wish) leads to a fringe and tempting theory: the name Feÿ is simply a disguised version of Faÿ, and this very naming is a purposeful indication that it was always in the mind of the founders that this noble castle should at a later stage become a phalanstery.

Fey::rusty

Mr Crow and Mr Deer from Rusty Lake.

Living in the Feÿ community brings a number of interrogations, as people do their best to be kind one to eachother.

Great public benefits arise from private virtues but isn’t it true that greater public benefits arise from private vices, as Mandeville described in the Fable of the Bees? Probably this is a question of dimension, of critical size.

On the Feÿ domain stands a beautiful forest. Sometimes the color tone can transition from spring green to viridian. Sometimes it is also easy to get stranded or floored there, however with lysergic power comes lysergic responsibility and collective nurturing helps prevent such fate to happen. Sometimes in the forest the infamous Codex Serafinianus helps to remind why Nature imitates Art. Sometimes in the forest you can see the music of the spheres.

Now it becomes a bit clearer. Individual oscillate in life, and one of the purpose of communities is to enter a collective mode of vibration. In other words, resonance. This is also what religion has been trying to achieve. Religion, seen as a collective hallucination or as a collective realization or as a collective construction (whatever the difference between the three might be).

Did I say “opium”? Sorry I meant “acid”. --Karl Marx

And here comes the Elephant in the forest.

A group of blind men heard that a strange animal, called an elephant, had been brought to the town, but none of them were aware of its shape and form. Out of curiosity, they said: "We must inspect and know it by touch, of which we are capable". So, they sought it out, and when they found it they groped about it. The first person, whose hand landed on the trunk, said, "This being is like a thick snake". For another one whose hand reached its ear, it seemed like a kind of fan. As for another person, whose hand was upon its leg, said, the elephant is a pillar like a tree-trunk. The blind man who placed his hand upon its side said the elephant, "is a wall". Another who felt its tail, described it as a rope. The last felt its tusk, stating the elephant is that which is hard, smooth and like a spear.

Now it becomes clearer: the concept of extitution is here to enhance the perceptual set of social groups and communities, and therefore to act on them.

If tokens can be considered as bottom-up, extitutional currencies, is a related point to consider.

A challenge of adulthood is: how to move oneself gracefully in the fluid of life? In “The possibility of an Island”, the author quotes Arthur Schopenhauer: "human existence resembles a theatre performance which, begun by living actors, is ended by automatons dressed in the same costumes."

So it might be the case that extitutions offer to transform into life magicians.

Fey::truckin

Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. And here’s Tom with the weather. --Bill Hicks

In conclusion, after spending a few days in the Feÿ Castle for an extitutional workshop, and acknowledging its spiritual gravity, one can ask: is it an autotelic journey, or is it for higher purposes?

But of course, one can ask the same question for their life: is life autotelic or for higher purposes?

Qu'as-tu, mer


Qu'as-tu, mer, pour t'enfuir, Jourdain, pour retourner en arrière ?

Qu'avez-vous, montagnes, pour sauter comme des béliers, et vous, collines, comme des agneaux ?

Tremble devant le Seigneur, ô terre ! Devant le Dieu de Jacob,

Qui change le rocher en étang, le roc en source d'eaux.

Galois theory

Today, the best thing to do is probably to (re-)study Galois theory.

Here is a great online Galois theory course by Richard E. Borcherds (Fields medal).
