“Python’s Kiss” collects a baker’s dozen stories, nine of which previously have been published in the New Yorker and elsewhere (each is illustrated with a drawing by the author’s daughter, Aza Erdrich ...

The compression algorithm works by shrinking the data stored by large language models, with Google’s research finding that it can reduce memory usage by at least six times “with zero accuracy loss.” ...

If Google’s AI researchers had a sense of humor, they would have called TurboQuant, the new, ultra-efficient AI memory compression algorithm announced Tuesday, “Pied Piper” — or, at least that’s what ...

Even if you don’t know much about the inner workings of generative AI models, you probably know they need a lot of memory. Hence, it is currently almost impossible to buy a measly stick of RAM without ...

As Large Language Models (LLMs) expand their context windows to process massive documents and intricate conversations, they encounter a brutal hardware reality known as the "Key-Value (KV) cache ...

In my Boston Globe review of Louise Erdrich’s 2016 novel “LaRose,” I described her as “an artist of the liminal.” “Python’s Kiss,” Erdrich’s new collection of stories written over 20 years, testifies ...

Google's new TurboQuant algorithm drastically cuts AI model memory needs, impacting memory chip stocks like SK Hynix and Kioxia. This innovation targets the AI's 'memory' cache, compressing it ...
