Commencement season has come around again — and this year, at least a couple speakers have discovered that it’s tough to get graduating students excited about a future shaped by artificial intelligence. Last week, Gloria Caulfield, an executive at real estate firm Tavistock Development Company, gave a speech at the University of Central Florida acknowledging…

Training large language models on long sequences has a well-known problem: attention is expensive. The scaled dot-product attention (SDPA) at the core of every transformer scales quadratically Θ(N²) in both compute and memory with sequence length N. FlashAttention addressed this through IO-aware tiling that avoids materializing the full N×N attention matrix in high-bandwidth memory, reducing…

ArXiv, a widely used open repository for preprint research, is doing more to crack down on the careless use of large language models in scientific papers. Although papers are posted to the site before they are peer-reviewed, arXiv (pronounced “archive”) has become one of the main ways that research circulates in fields like computer science…
