MEMO: Store fresh knowledge in separate memory model without retraining
By
–
Cool, your AI could learn new information without ever retraining its core brain! MIT, A*STAR, NUS, and Liquid AI researchers introduce MEMO (Memory as a Model). Instead of fine-tuning the LLM, MEMO stores fresh knowledge in a separate "memory" model. Think of it like adding a

Estimated energy and water for an LLM solving an Erdös problem
By
–
If this is true, using the best public estimates we have of LLM resource use, solving this Erdos problem took 0.6–6.3 kWh of electricity and about 3–31 liters of water. So that is less than three almonds worth of water and the electricity equivalent of 2-20 miles of EV driving.

Which AI labs will prioritize social science research?

Math is easy* because it has verifiable outputs and few messy judgement choices to make. Which AI labs have the guts to make advancing social science a priority? It may actually do more for human flourishing to unlock sociology, econ & psych reseach. * For AIs, not for humans

Excitement over AGI takeoff with caveat from multiple companies
By
–
As excited as I am that a takeoff seems to have begun and we are entering a golden age of science, one thing remains: I'm hearing more and more from all sides that AGI is within reach. This applies to Google (AGI, Physical AGI), as well as OpenAI and Anthropic. The only caveat:

FFN Architecture Patterns in Mixture-of-Experts Models

It’s interesting. I’ve seen hidden -> wider -> hidden FFNs and hidden -> narrower -> hidden FFNs.
But Command A+ seems tu use 4096 -> 4096 -> 4096 for each expert FFN, which I haven’t seen before (as far as I remember)
