Rapidly scaling online storage to serve over 1 billion ChatGPT users

Publisher preview

How we adapted our application storage platform, Habitat, in Python to manage unprecedented growth.By Jon Lee, Chaomin Yu, and Ben Ries, Members of Technical Staff Every OpenAI product depends on fast, reliable access to data, whether someone is logging in, checking their Codex settings, or starting a new conversation in ChatGPT. Each of those actions may require many separate data lookups before the product can respond. If those requests are slow, the product feels slow. If those requests fail, the product stops working entirely. Habitat is the online storage platform…

How a researcher uses Codex and ChatGPT to search for new antimicrobial molecules

Publisher preview

César de la Fuente and his lab probe the genomes of living and extinct organisms for molecules that could help fight drug-resistant infections. Drug-resistant microbes including bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses are a growing global threat. About five million deaths in 2021 were associated⁠ with bacterial antimicrobial resistance—an annual toll projected to roughly double by 2050. It can take years to find molecules with the potential to become antimicrobials. Researchers are using AI to accelerate this early stage of discovery. “Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest existential threats to…

Async GRPO with LoRA across HF Jobs: a bucket, a proxy, and no NCCL

Publisher preview

LoRA support recently landed in TRL's AsyncGRPOTrainer with PR #7017, and ships with TRL v1.14. The asynchronous trainer can now train an adapter instead of the full model, and it syncs only the LoRA adapter to vLLM. This post covers a real-world project built on top of it, where training and inference no longer share a machine. LoRA training is particularly suited for RL, as shown in Thinking Machines's blog LoRA Without Regret. They show that LoRA can match full fine-tuning for policy-gradient RL, even with rank 1. This stems…
