The artificial AI researcher is not reshuffling and repackaging known ideas, like in the humanities, but identifies a new research problem, plans out an experiment, conducts the experiment, and writes up the results. It does not borrow more than human AI researchers do.

State Space Models vs Transformers: Mechanistic Evaluation of Recall
By
–
new paper! 🫡 why are state space models (SSMs) worse than Transformers at recall over their context? this is a question about the mechanisms underlying model behaviour: therefore, we propose using mechanistic evaluations to answer it!

There’s also so many layers to most to really understand what they are capturing, it’s pretty interesting. Most evals and benchmarks do not capture what you would initially assume.

Codestral Embed: New Code Embedder Model Released
By
–
Very happy to release Codestral Embed, our first code embedder. It can use up to 3072 dimensions, ordered by relevance. Using embeddings of 256 dimensions with int8 precision is already sufficient to outperform all existing models.
