Creating a Llama or GPT Model for Next-Token Prediction
This article is divided into three parts; they are: • Understanding the Architecture of Llama or GPT Model • Creating a Llama or GPT Model for Pretraining • Variations in the Architecture The architecture of a Llama or GPT model is simply a stack of transformer blocks.

Apple Researchers Release CLaRa: A Continuous Latent Reasoning Framework for Compression‑Native RAG with 16x–128x Semantic Document Compression
How do you keep RAG systems accurate and efficient when every query tries to stuff thousands of tokens into the context window and the retriever and generator are still optimized as 2 separate, disconnected systems? A team of researchers from Apple and University of Edinburgh released CLaRa, Continuous Latent Reasoning, (CLaRa-7B-Base, CLaRa-7B-Instruct and CLaRa-7B-E2E) a retrieval augmented generation framework that compresses documents into continuous memory tokens and then performs both retrieval and generation in that shared latent space. […]
The Machine Learning “Advent Calendar” Day 12: Logistic Regression in Excel
In this article, we rebuild Logistic Regression step by step directly in Excel. Starting from a binary dataset, we explore why linear regression struggles as a classifier, how the logistic function fixes these issues, and how log-loss naturally appears from the likelihood. With a transparent gradient-descent table, you can watch the model learn at each iteration—making the whole process intuitive, visual, and surprisingly satisfying. The post The Machine Learning “Advent Calendar” Day 12: Logistic Regression in Excel appeared […]

As AI Grows More Complex, Model Builders Rely on NVIDIA
Unveiling what it describes as the most capable model series yet for professional knowledge work, OpenAI launched GPT-5.2 today. The model was trained and deployed on NVIDIA infrastructure, including NVIDIA Hopper and GB200 NVL72 systems. It’s the latest example of how leading AI builders train and deploy at scale on NVIDIA’s full-stack AI infrastructure. Pretraining: The Bedrock of Intelligence AI models are getting more capable thanks to three scaling laws: pretraining, post-training and test-time scaling. Reasoning models, which […]
