The AI Extremely limits are both 5x or 20x increased than these on AI Professional, relying on which degree…
Backpropagation dominates deep learning, yet it uses a mechanism the brain likely cannot. Specifically, the backward pass needs exact transposes of forward weight matrices. This is the weight transport problem. Sakana AI’s new paper, Diffusing Blame, confronts this constraint directly. The research team trains networks that obey Dale’s principle while avoiding weight transport entirely. What…

Most AI agents forget. They process a request, answer it, then drop the context. Google Cloud’s generative-ai repository now ships a sample that tackles this directly. It is the Always-On Memory Agent, a reference implementation that treats memory as a running process. Always-On Memory Agent Fundamentally, the project is a lightweight background agent that never…
For years, the central ethos of reMarkable has been to get you away from screens and create an experience that emulates the feeling of writing with pen and paper.
