here's my wishlist: 1. Text to Speech backbone (even a nerfed version would do tbh)
2. Better + faster, multilingual Whisper (ideally without the Enc-Dec architecture)
3. GPT 3.5 If none of the above, release some arch details, let the community cook!

Understanding noaux_tc Expert Selection Method with DeepSeek
By
–
Working w/ DeepSeek to understand the `noaux_tc` method (very meta) It essentially is a group-based approach to select experts, where experts are divided into groups, and the top-k experts are selected within each group Step by step explanation via DS

ARC Grids as Token Sequences: Why VLMs Struggle with Processing
By
–
Fundamentally it's because ARC grids aren't images and thus VLMs can't make sense of them. They're 2D grids of tokens. Some people use 2D native transformers to process them, with good results (2D position embedding, or 2D attention), but a flattened sequence is actually a very

MoE Architecture Changes: Softmax to Sigmoid Gate Function
By
–
Dug a bit more in to the modelling code (v2 vs v3), here are the key changes: > MoE gate function changed from softmax (v2) → sigmoid (v3)
> New Top-k Selection method `noaux_tc`
> Added e_score_correction_bias for better expert selection or even training -
