Sim-to-real transfer: How robots learn in simulation and then work in the real world
Sim-to-real transfer trains a robot's software in a simulator, then runs it on real hardware. Domain randomization is…
Mixture of experts: How a huge model uses only a small part of itself per token
A mixture-of-experts model stores many parallel sub-networks and uses only a few for each token. That is how…
KV cache compression: How LLMs shrink the memory that long prompts demand
The KV cache is the working memory a language model builds as it reads a prompt. Compressing it…
Looped language models: How reusing layers lets a small model think longer
