reward = compute_reward(result)
if reward > self.last_reward -> new_interpreter

would likely converge on fitting a sequence using attention

scary stuff

a homoiconic transformer in the form of

understanding = torch.matmul(interpreter, sequence.transpose(-2, -1))

new_interpreter = torch.matmul(understanding.softmax(-1), interpreter)

result = torch.matmul(new_interpreter, sequence.transpose(-2, -1))

so an engineering problem, what if science delivers a few more incremental breakthroughs in addition.

We are now confident we know how to build AGI as we have traditionally understood it.

[xAI Colossus] "Across all three tiers of the network fabric, the system has experienced zero application latency degradation or packet loss due to flow collisions".

0 flow collisions across all fabrier tiers seems improbable for RoCE.

latent non-language domain-specific spaces probably abound - wavelet coefficients, eigenspaces, but this is bytes only.
7/ BLT has direct access to bytes but at its core still has a Transformer that operates over patches - the best of both worlds. But it’s just the beginning! We are releasing the training and inference code at github.com/facebookrese...

LLM formal specifications

in training or not: in-context specifications and operational semantics!

Virtualization strikes new ground in this paper by software-virtualizing QEC logical qubits by software-based detecting and correcting errors to abstract noisy physical qubits.
