What if we trained a smaller KV cache for our documents offline? Using a test-time training recipe we call self-study, we find that this can reduce cache memory on avg 39x (enabling 26x higher tok/s and lower TTFT) while maintaining quality. These smaller KV caches, which we call cartridges, can be trained once and reused for different user requests!

Amazing work, Aaron! What an impact! Can't wait to see what you do next....

From what i understand, the FTC reviewed the Instagram acquisition twice before giving their blessing. I wish we all had this kind of power to remake decisions depending on how they turn out. Would be pretty awesome.

Raise Less Money 6 years ago

@ Aaron - Thanks, as always, for the thoughtful note but I disagree with you on this. Yes, there is risk of over-dilution if you raise boatloads too much out of the gate (including the very real and potentially fatal risk of being undisciplined on spending). But at the end of the day, if a founder figures out the business in that first 12 month window and is still sitting on another 12-24 months of cash, she has so much more power than if she is 4 months to cash out. She can take capital now but exactly on her terms. She can decide to keep pushing and raise in 12-18 months when the business will be in even better shape (and valuations higher, etc). Time becomes her friend, not her enemy. In my opinion, one would be crazy not to take more capital when it's this insanely cheap (valuations for 2 people with a powerpoint have never been higher). As we've seen with so many great companies, p/m often takes more than 8 months. Take more than you need and buy time. It will come out in the wash. I know this may sound self serving given my VC Cloak but having raised my first venture round as a founder in 1998, it comes from a place of experience (and pain). Thanks for listening.

you don't need to give consent for publicly available information. if we are friends FB and you like a song on spotify and share that on fb publicly, why shouldn't I be able to see that when i'm on FB or Spotify? It makes my experience better on both. That's what instant personalization was. Again, the times failed to talk about that.

Vetted | www.vettedpetcare.com | LA | Full Time

Fast growing, post product/market fit, Venture-backed (Amplify LA, Foundation Capital) consumer marketplace startup looking for a Head of Product. Incredible ground-floor opportunity for the right leader. Must have strong consumer chops and want to build something enduring and impactful. Please contact jobs@vettedpetcare.com

Just another reminder to never ever build your company for Wall street. In 2004, Netflix went from 40 to 2 in 6 months. Amazon from 89 to 5. There are entirely zero competitors to Linkedin right now (FB is nowwhere in the space). And while i agree the product has stagnated a bit - this in my view is another example of Wall Street's insanity. (and no, i don't own any shares :)

You should turn this into a daily digest email. be great to get this in my email box.

Perhaps but most of the mega banks are actually trying to invest in these kinds of companies and/or provide liquidity on the lending side. Lending Club, Ondeck and others are now at a scale that it would be harder for selective, interest group driven regulation. But point taken.

Umm. Really? - the arab spring - a father sharing his son's first steps with the world - learning of the death of an old, lost friend - telling the world you are ok after your hotel has been bombed in Mumbai - watching your nephew learn to ride a horse. - learning about steve job's death and feeling the entire world grieve - discovering a new book to read - trash talking your friends about just how bad the Montreal Canadians really are

Staying connected to the things that matter. Remembering your life.
