> extra bits per channel Page 18 of the paper: > As shown in Table 1, our approach outperforms other methods for both Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct and Ministral-7B-Instruct, achieving sig…

Some corrections: the vectors are un-rotated in practice for future query vectors. This could be removed with a slightly different LLM arch. PolarQuant does live on in TurboQuant's…

Here's my attempt at a undergrad-level summary (corrections welcome!): The core idea is to quantize KV cache, but do so in a way that destroys minimal information. In this case, it…

Looking to the Chinese market is insightful, IMO. There's one platform for a luxury sedan, and it gets ~200mi on EV mode (~100MPGe) and then ~400mi on gas. It works out to about 70…

Yes true; good point. I think this is changing (e.g. regen braking for aux. power on passenger trains maybe eventually capacitors for traction drives in the future), but currently …

>Oh, an EREV is fancy way to say "hybrid" ok Kind of. EREVs are what locomotives have been doing for a century (and to a lesser extent barges), which is called diesel-electric in t…

That is correct[0], as known from the iPad M4 analysis. I will say SVT-AV1 has had some significant ARM64 performance improvements lately (~300% YoY, with bitrate savings at a give…

I've been doing that with a Minisforum bd790i -- a Ryzen 7945HX which is a monster of a CPU (16 zen4 cores, with very high single threaded and multi threaded benchmarks[1]) with a …

https://www.llamaindex.ai/ is much better IMO, but it's definitely a case of boilerplate-y, well-supported incumbent vs smaller, better, less supported (e.g. Java vs Python in the …
