(More likely though, each block refines the information over time in the Transformer forward pass, enriching it with the information gathered from previous tokens during Attention.)

Residual Stream Projections and Information Preservation in Neural Networks

–
Of course it has access, the projections from each block into the residual stream can be learned to be zero and so preserve any information that is needed.

Modern AI Capabilities Compared to Early Computing Hardware Specs

Difficult to not feel like it is the equivalent of something along the lines of "CPU with a clock rate of more than 10^7 Hz and 20MiB RAM".

Clarifying Graph Vector Communication: Misleading vs Wrong Description
By
–
Ok I wouldn't say it was "wrong", just "misleading" :). The idea of having a vector stored at each node in the graph, and the vectors communicating via weighted sums over directed edges I think is all well and sound all by itself, at this level of description. It's misleading

Brain Computing Power Compared to NVIDIA A100 GPU
By
–
The naive napkin math would go something like 1 brain ~= 1e11 neurons * 1e4 synapses * 1e1 fires/s = 1e16 FLOPS (i.e. 10 petaflops) NVIDIA A100 = 312e12 peak FLOPS, in-practice achievable utilization may be let’s say 50%, i.e. 156e12. Dividing you get 1 brain ~= 1e16 / 156e12 =

OpenAI releases multimodal model with text audio vision capabilities
By
–
They are releasing a combined text-audio-vision model that processes all three modalities in one single neural network, which can then do real-time voice translation as a special case afterthought, if you ask it to.

Learning CUDA: Resources Gap Between Theory and Practice
By
–
I read this book and then I was surprised that I still understood so little of the kernels that started to appear as llm.c contributions, beating mine. It's a pretty good 101 intro. Learning CUDA is like that horse meme, all the learning resources you can find on the left, then
