lucidrains··on Anthropic sets up a bio research lab for physical experiments
trying to bring verification to bio? it is going to be tough, there's just an unbelievable amount of noise in wet lab work
lucidrains··on Kusama Yayoi has died
there is a 2018 documentary on her life titled Kusama: Infinity. it appears you can watch it online for free now.
lucidrains··on There Will Come Soft Rains (1950) [pdf]
Reminiscent of his other short stories from the Martian Chronicles, also rife with apocalyptic themes
lucidrains··on Ping-pong robot beats top-level human players
quite surprised to see SAC, considering the deepmind ping pong paper resorted to evolutionary strategies, iirc
lucidrains··on The Waymo Ojai Will Soon Offer Autonomous Rides Around the U.S.
They need to have a service that allows for pets. It is the only reason I still use Ubers!
lucidrains··on BERT is just a single text diffusion step
there has been some movement on that front, in the form of adding expand / delete tokens! https://hkunlp.github.io/blog/2025/dreamon/
lucidrains··on From multi-head to latent attention: The evolution of attention mechanisms
It is a reference to the beatles song, mainly because Noam Shazeer is a music lover
lucidrains··on TREAD: Token Routing for Efficient Architecture-Agnostic Diffusion Training
very nice, will have to try it out! this is the same research group from which Robin Rombach (of stable diffusion fame) originated from
lucidrains··on Hand: open-source Robot Hand

lucidrains··on Schizophrenia is the price we pay for minds poised near the edge of a cliff
I am sorry to hear that.
lucidrains··on Schizophrenia is the price we pay for minds poised near the edge of a cliff
indeed, it just becomes less likely

if you are a man and make it past age of 29 without starting to hear voices, you can breathe a sigh of relief (I did)
lucidrains··on Launch HN: Vassar Robotics (YC X25) – $219 robot arm that learns new skills
Love to know as well!
lucidrains··on Surprisingly fast AI-generated kernels we didn't mean to publish yet
oh wow, I was looking for use of islands or map-elites that I missed this.. thought it was the blandest mimetic evolution possible
lucidrains··on Differential Transformer
does this not mean we should explore usage of talking heads (Shazeer et al) a bit more? https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.02436
lucidrains··on Psilocybin desynchronizes the human brain
Indeed, the best setting is in nature on a beautiful day
lucidrains··on GPUs Go Brrr
amazing work! thank you!
lucidrains··on GPUs Go Brrr
would be interested to see thunderkittens (great name!) tackle the flash attention backwards pass, which is an order of magnitude harder than the forward
lucidrains··on xLSTM: Extended Long Short-Term Memory
https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.08819
lucidrains··on Better and Faster Large Language Models via Multi-Token Prediction
wow, so prophet net does work! i spent so much time experimenting with it back in the day, but just lacked the scale to see a positive result.
lucidrains··on Self-reasoning tokens: teaching models to think ahead
indeed, simsiam is a great example of the effectiveness of using stop gradient
lucidrains··on Self-reasoning tokens: teaching models to think ahead
could even try it with a fraction of the attention heads, instead of introducing new tokens
lucidrains··on Self-reasoning tokens: teaching models to think ahead
yes, it is a stop gradient mask on the attention matrix, iiuc. worth trying
lucidrains··on But what is a GPT? Visual intro to Transformers [video]
I can't think of anyone better to teach attention mechanism to the masses. This is a dream come true
lucidrains··on Arraymancer – Deep learning Nim library
I've never worked with a project with more than 7 dimensions, yet
lucidrains··on Chronos: Learning the Language of Time Series
oh interesting, Jeff Hawkin's HTM?
lucidrains··on Ikigai: What We Got Wrong and How to Find Meaning in Life
"There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it." - Oscar Wilde

actually got some government shill who can't even spell to respond. touch a nerve?
lucidrains··on Ex-Google engineer charged with stealing trade secrets
exactly, this guy understands how business in China works.
lucidrains··on Stable Diffusion 3
would be nice if it were just more attention. there could be something else though
