Good one! Intermediate Layer Distillation is another technique that I’ve read about. Instead of only matching the teacher’s final output distribution, you also align intermediate hidden states, attention patterns, or feature maps across corresponding layers. The intuition

How do you train a trillion-parameter AI model while dramatically improving efficiency? http://
YuanLab.ai @YuanAI_Lab presents Yuan3.0 Ultra to tackle exactly that. They introduced Layer-Adaptive Expert Pruning (LAEP) for pre-training — a system that monitors how much -
New Research Improves LLM Speculative Decoding Efficiency
By
–
“Speculative Speculative Decoding” Even though speculative decoding speed up LLM inference, it still has a hidden “stop-and-wait” step, where the draft model can’t start the next guess until the big model finishes verifying the last one. This paper fixes that by making drafting

Yes: https://
unaligned.io That one is human done with @IrenaCronin but we are playing with doing an automated one separately from that, which is sort of what generated this Notebook LM script. -
LightRetriever promises LLM-level search with 1000x faster queries
By

Retrieval Method Trumps Memory Writing in AI Agents
By

most people building AI agents obsess over how they WRITE memories
turns out that's basically irrelevant new research analyzed 9 different memory systems across 1,540 questions the finding?
retrieval method drives 20-point accuracy swings
write strategy? 3–8 points max raw
