Tool use, in which an LLM is given functions it can request to call for gathering information, taking action, or manipulating data, is a key design pattern of AI agentic workflows. You may be familiar with LLM-based systems that can perform a web search or execute code. Some of

Activation Trade-offs: Current vs Future Token Optimization
By
–
I guess there is a tradeoff between how each activation is used, whether it is doing something that's optimal for a current or future token. i'm using information and store both pretty loosely. 🙂

Adaptive RAG Implementation with Cohere Command-R+
By
–
Adaptive RAG w/ Cohere's new Command-R+ Adaptive-RAG (
@SoyeongJeong97 et al) is a recent paper that combines (1) query analysis and (2) iterative answer construction to seamlessly handle queries of differing complexity. We took at stab at implementing these ideas from scratch -
Transformers Token Processing: Information Storage Nuances
By
–
yes! there is a lot of nuance. My preferred way to put it is "transformers don't pre-store information for future tokens at the expense of the current token" (very much)
