“I work in robotics and artificial intelligence. We build robots that will help the world.” As introductions – or elevator spaces – go, it is particularly strong. This is how Nia Jetter, senior main technologist for Amazon, answers technology robotics, the question: What do you do? Jetter is an engineer who has been recognized throughout … Read more
Today’s major machine learning models-as generative language models or vision-language models, are so great that the process of educating them is typically divided across thousands or even tens of thousands of GPUs. Even with all that parallelism, training still often takes months. With such a massive implementation of resources, hardware and software errors are common … Read more
Recent Basic Models-As Large Language Models-Has achieved advanced performance by learning how to restructure randomly masked text or images. Without any human supervision, these models can learn powerful representations from Large Corpora of unmarked data by simple “filling in the gaps”.

Knowledgeillation (KD) is one of the most effective ways to insert large language models around how low latency is important. KD involves the transfer of knowledge contained in large models (“teachers”) to smaller models (“students”). Sorry about their size, student models are typically more effective than teacher models, but they are often less powerful. In … Read more
