The goal? Developing a system that accurately predicts your estimated travel time from point A to point B. If you've ever ordered food online or requested a ride through an app, you've likely interacted with a version of this system developed at Google DeepMind.

Google Maps Pathfinding Beyond Navigation Prediction Algorithms
By
–
It goes beyond a simple pathfinding problem. Google Maps' predictions account for dynamically changing conditions such as weather, roadblocks, and traffic lights. Even the data, collected from phone positions, is susceptible to noise and adversarial behavior.

Xformers terminology: transformer variants and efficiency improvements
By
–
In the article, I used "xformers" referring to zillions variants of transformers that claim to improve the efficiency of transformer(
@YiTayML et al., https://
arxiv.org/abs/2009.06732). I am not aware of xformers in SD. -
LoRA, PEFT, and ChatGPT Backend Architecture Discussion
By

I am glad you enjoyed the article. I plan to write about LoRA and PEFT(parameter-efficient fine-tuning) in general in a separate article. Yeah, ChatGPT uses GPT-3.5/4 in the backend, all of which are decoder models trained to predict the next token autoregressively.
