Older Chip Fabs Economics and Potential Applications
By
–
Sometimes I consider the question of what could benefit if older generation chip fabs somehow get dramatically cheaper. It is hard to make a case for any logic or memory use on several generations old process even if it was free, due to power and capabilities. One possible use

Adam-atan2: Removing Epsilon Hyperparameter from Adam Optimizer
By
–
Adam-atan2 is a neat one line code change to remove the epsilon hyperparamter from Adam by changing the divide to an atan2(). This feels like a generally useful trick for many places you might be worried about divide by zero and numeric precision issues.

Mobile API Complexity and Efficient Model Execution Challenges
By

That would be a much more complicated and less flexible API to sort out, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they wind up going that way, years later than they could have just offered camera access. Efficient model execution on mobile is a real challenge, regardless of whether it is

I sometimes worry that I am not paying enough attention to all the exciting things going on with LLM development, but I always conclude that there are plenty of smart people already working on them, and other things are still deserving of effort.
