I put together a mega write-up on GPT-6 Astra & looped transformers. How looped transformers / recurrent depth works, cost-tradeoffs, whether it hides reasoning traces, with lots of figures and a tour of recent looped transformer research. Related

Their words
Consensus estimate is that ~15GW of AI compute produced in 2027 cannot be turned on in 2027. This is harder than just finding power, as you also need to build out all the transformers, wiring, liquid-cooling, (massive) chillers & complex networking.

Their words
Maybe Nix is like Rust: Amazing if you don't have to look at the code! I'm open to the idea that Omarchy Cinque could switch packaging system if I never have to look at nixlang, there are no ergonomic regressions, and we have full repo sovereignty.

Their words
With thousands of developed in a mono repo, it just does happen that one directory is missing one of the two files and this means that a subset of devs work with lobotomy. We fix this with automation but it’s a stupid complexity tax that shouldn’t have to be paid.

Just saw that the LLMs-from-scratch repository passed 100,000 stars on GitHub! This is super cool and motivating. I am really happy to see that this open-source repo has helped so many people. Thanks also to everyone who shared ideas and opened PRs with improvements! Of course, I plan to keep adding new material, including new attention variants and architectures (while bigger projects like RL and Reasoning From Scratch live in their separate repositories). I am also currently working on a larger applied custom “small” LLM project. It has been keeping me super busy this month, but I will shar… LLMs Related

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
