Machine Learning Research
Imagine you are typing a sentence. But instead of a keyboard, joystick, or eye tracker, a device surrounding your head reads your intentions and generates that sentence on screen.
Machine Learning Research
DeepSeek built a speculative decoding module that speeds up its production models’ text generation by more than 50 percent without sacrificing accuracy, then made its technique open source.
Machine Learning Research
Google built a low-cost, high-throughput pipeline for developers working with media, combining Gemini’s fastest image model yet with a similarly speedy multimodal model that can turn images into video with synchronized sound.
