Very proud to see Transformers Interpret hit 1k stars today with over 200,000 downloads. Maintaining a library has been one of the hardest and most rewarding things I've done. Looking forward to adding some very cool new explainers **cough** Seq2Seq LLM's models very soon 👀

I've been learning about agent memory for the past few weeks. This new blog summarizes everything I've learned so far: • What is agent memory, and why do you need it • What are the types of memory (and what categorization approaches are there?) • How do you manage memory in

I am SUPER EXCITED to publish the 130th episode of the Weaviate Podcast featuring Xiaoqiang Lin (@xiaoqiang_98), the lead author of REFRAG from Meta Superintelligence Labs! 🎙️🎉 Traditional RAG systems use vectors to retrieve relevant context, but then throw away the vectors,

As a quick TLDR, there are two key aspects to understanding how REFRAG works: 1. The particular way REFRAG represents context tokens and injects them into LLM decoding, as well as how this speeds up LLM inference. ⚡️ 2. The training algorithm used to align the encoder,
REFRAG from Meta Superintelligence Labs is a SUPER EXCITING breakthrough that may spark the second summer of Vector Databases! ☀️🏖️ REFRAG illustrates how Database Systems are becoming even more integral to LLM inference 🧬 By making clever use of how context vectors are

Ever watched a loading spinner for 10+ seconds waiting for your LLM to respond? 😅 Your users have too - and they're probably not happy about it. Even the most powerful AI applications can feel sluggish when users have to wait for complete responses to be generated. But what if

One of my favorite things about the Transformation Agent we just launched at @weaviate_io is that I don't know everything it can be used for - and I think that's where its strength lies because there's so many use cases it can enable. I love this example from @CShorten30
