Barry Levinson was one of the most successful directors in America around 1990, when he made Avalon, an immigrant Thanksgiving movie trying to sum up the transformation of the American family in the 20th century. Continue Reading…
Google will compete with Meta with its own line of AI-powered smart glasses.
In this article, I discuss the main problems of standard LLMs (OpenAI and the likes), and how the new generation of LLMs addresses these issues. The focus is on Enterprise LLMs. LLMs with Billions of Parameters Most of the LLMs still fall in that category. The first ones (ChatGPT) appeared around 2022, though Bert is an early precursor. Most recent books discussing LLMs still define them as transformer architecture with deep neural networks (DNNs), costly training, and reliance […]
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. […]
Tune out external criticism, focus on process over outcomes, and embrace reflection and routine.
Coding with large language models (LLMs) holds huge promise, but it also exposes some long-standing flaws in software: code that’s messy, hard to change safely, and often opaque about what’s really happening under the hood. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are charting a more “modular” path ahead. Their new approach breaks systems into “concepts,” separate pieces of a system, each designed to do one job well, and “synchronizations,” explicit rules that describe exactly […]
New York’s future does not lie in further centralization or state control. Its vitality has always derived from individual freedom, entrepreneurial energy, and the rule of law. The Big Apple became great because it allowed people to build, innovate, and prosper—not because government directed them.
