Context Self-Management, Generate to Understand, 2-Phase Quantization
AI, But Simple Issue #122
Welcome back to AI, but simple, your AI research beacon with visual explanations.
AI research is revisiting design choices kept constant prior, across context management, computer vision, and quantization.
A few developments have emerged:
Meta and MIT are training models to modify their own context
In language models, understanding helps generation, but generation may also aid understanding
Reading and writing tokens may benefit from different quantization formats
We'll unpack what’s happening behind these developments (visually) and track key movements to get a sense of where the field is heading.
