gollark: There was XLNet. Not sure what happened with that.
gollark: There are variations which improve this, but apparently they aren't suitable for text generation somehow.
gollark: The issue is that the required memory/compute scales *quadratically* with sequence length with transformers.
gollark: Probably this will improve when/if they make a GPT-4 with even more parameters and ideally some way to get around the context length limit.
gollark: I think it's kind of neat but also not hugely useful, inasmuch as it:- generates somewhat bad code, and without awareness of your preferred style and architecture- may not actually be faster than just writing the code yourself, since you have to specify things fairly precisely and filter its output for it to be any good
