Predicting Rewards Alongside Tokens: Non-disruptive Parameter Insertion for Efficient Inference Intervention in Large Language Model

Just finished reading this super intriguing paper on a method called Otter for better and faster AI! ???

Here are five interesting nuggets from the paper:

1?? **Einstein-level Efficiency**: Otter achieves state-of-the-art performance while saving up to 86.5% extra space and 98.5% extra time compared to traditional models. ????

2?? **Seamless Integration**: Only a single line of code change is needed to integrate Otter into existing inference engines. It's as simple as it sounds! ?????

3?? **Double Bonus**: It not only improves efficiency but also ensures the original model's output remains intact, avoiding any performance degradation. ??????

4?? **Wide Application**: Otter is versatile and useful across multiple tasks, including text detoxification and inference speed-up, making it a Swiss Army knife for AI development. ????

5?? **Smart Initialization**: The researchers discovered that parameter copying during initialization boosts Otter’s training efficiency and generalization capability. Talk about starting off on the right foot! ????
