DeepSeek Researchers Apply a 1967 Matrix Normalization Algorithm to Fix Instability in Hyper Connections

DeepSeek researchers are trying to solve a precise issue in large language model training. Residual connections made very deep networks trainable, hyper connections widened that residual stream, and training then became unstable at scale. The new method mHC, Manifold Constrained Hyper Connections, keeps the richer topology of hyper connections but locks the mixing behavior on […]

‘Just an unbelievable amount of pollution’: how big a threat is AI to the climate?

Defenders say AI can do good to fight the climate crisis. But spiralling energy and water costs leave experts worriedDuring a golden sunset in Memphis in May, Sharon Wilson pointed a thermal imaging camera at Elon Musk’s flagship datacentre to reveal a planetary threat her eyes could not. Free from pollution controls, the gas-fired turbines

Recursive Language Models (RLMs): From MIT’s Blueprint to Prime Intellect’s RLMEnv for Long Horizon LLM Agents

Recursive Language Models aim to break the usual trade off between context length, accuracy and cost in large language models. Instead of forcing a model to read a giant prompt in one pass, RLMs treat the prompt as an external environment and let the model decide how to inspect it with code, then recursively call
