Foundation Transformers

Abstract: A big convergence of model architectures across language, vision, speech, and multimodal is emerging. However, under the same name "Transformers", the above areas use different implementations for better performance, e.g., Post-LayerNorm for BERT, and Pre-LayerNorm for GPT and vision Transformers. We call for the development of Foundation Transformer for true general-purpose modeling, which serves as a go-to architecture for various tasks and modalities with guaranteed training stability. In this work, we intr… Show more

“…However, the novel aspect of GPT scaling [18][19] suggests that the current generators do not need preparation for such challenges. They perform as zero-shot [20] or few-shot [21] models that generate meaningful answers from prompts without specialization or fine-tuning cycles.…”
