@Ellieorange8: During a large model algorithm interview, the interviewer smiled and handed me a pen: Write down the Attention mechanism on the whiteboard. I nodded pretending to be confident, took the pen—then my mind went blank. Normally, I just call `F.softmax` in PyTorch and that's it, but when I have to hand-code the underlying operators, I remember the formula but forget all the details. Don't go into the exam unprepared anymore...
TorchCode is an open-source question bank that turns handwritten deep learning operators (such as Attention, Transformer) into LeetCode-style training. It is based on Jupyter and supports auto-grading, hints, and reference implementations, helping you prepare for large model algorithm interviews.
@seclink: There are a few obvious interview questions: 1. Can Transformer do large-model inference? It can, so why not use it, and why must we use sglang and vllm? - Essentially because Transformer's performance is too poor; the bottlenecks are memory (KV cache) and slow token-by-token decoding...
Discusses the bottlenecks of using Transformer for large-scale inference and reviews the evolution of inference optimization technologies for large models from 2023 to 2026, including KV cache quantization, speculative decoding, architectural innovation, and hardware-software co-design.
@berryxia: Small model, big wisdom? It's now real! A 7B small model now acts as the boss of top large models like GPT-5, Claude Sonnet 4, Gemini 2.5 Pro. A new paper shows an RL-trained 7B model learned to write natural language subtasks, assign them to different models, precisely...
A new paper proposes training a 7B small model via reinforcement learning as a task scheduler, automatically decomposing subtasks and assigning them to top models like GPT-5 and Claude. It surpasses individual frontier models on several hard benchmarks, demonstrating that end-to-end reward learning can effectively replace manual prompt engineering and multi-agent pipeline design.
@Xudong07452910: Let the model set its own problems, solve its own problems, and train itself — the biggest fear is learning incorrect problems along with the correct ones. This paper by the Qwen team proposes Skill Self-Play, adding a continuously updated skill library to the model's self-evolution. There are three roles in training: The Proposer generates tasks that are just challenging enough based on the skills...
The Qwen team proposes the Skill Self-Play framework, which significantly improves model capabilities on tool-calling and reasoning tasks through the collaboration of Proposer, Solver, and a dynamic skill controller in self-play.
@Xudong07452910: A classic challenge in RL training of LLM agents: after a long task fails, where should the model start learning? The final reward can usually only tell the agent 'success' or 'failure', but it's hard to pinpoint which intermediate judgments are worth keeping and which actions led the entire trajectory astray. This paper proposes SEED, using 'self-evolving online distillation...'
This paper proposes SEED, a method that internalizes post-hoc skills from trajectories into model parameters through self-evolving online distillation, solving the reward sparsity problem in long-horizon RL training, achieving significant improvements on benchmarks such as ALFWorld.
