Foundation models are central to AI’s influence on the economy and society. Transparency is crucial for accountability, competition, and understanding, particularly regarding the data used in these models. Governments are enacting regulations like the EU AI Act and the US AI Foundation Model Transparency Act to enhance transparency. The Foundation Model Transparency Index (FMTI) introduced…
People who work with large language models often need a quick and efficient way to interact with these powerful tools. However, many existing methods require switching between applications or dealing with slow, cumbersome interfaces. Some solutions are available, but they come with their own set of limitations. Web-based interfaces are common but can be slow…
The memory footprint of the key-value (KV) cache can be a bottleneck when serving large language models (LLMs), as it scales proportionally with both sequence length and batch size. This overhead limits batch sizes for long sequences and necessitates costly techniques like offloading when on-device memory is scarce. Furthermore, the ability to persistently store and…
