Cerebras Developer Community Meeting 10: Guest Presentation from Argonne's Arvind Ramanathan

Argonne National Laboratory’s Arvind Ramanathan joins us to share research on genome-scale language modelling using the Cerebras Wafer-Scale Cluster. This research won the 2022 ACM Gordon Bell Special Prize for HPC-Based COVID-19 Research.
Arvind describes the challenges with identifying variants of concerns with SARS-CoV-2, how they adapted large language models to these genomes, how they leveraged Cerebras systems to conduct their research, and their findings.
We also discussed our recently-announced, cloud-based, fine-tuning service. If you're interested in fine-tuning your large language models on our systems, learn more about the Cerebras AI Model Studio and sign up for a free trial here: www.cerebras.net/product-cloud/

that is pretty astonishing. great job, should get way more attention

Thanks, Michael, I completely agree!
