DIFFERENTIAL TRANSFORMER

Transformers tend to over-allocate attention to irrelevant context. This work introduces Diff Transformer, which amplifies attention to the relevant context while canceling noise. Specifically, the differential attention mechanism calculates attention scores as the difference between two separate softmax attention maps. The subtraction cancels noise, promoting the emergence of sparse attention patterns

TIKTOK PARENT COMPANY BYTEDANCE HAS A TOOL THAT'S SCRAPING THE WEB 25 TIMES FASTER THAN OPENAI

ByteDance is aggressively using its web crawler, Bytespider, to amass data, potentially for developing its own LLM. Bytespider's data consumption rate is significantly higher than its competitors, including OpenAI and Anthropic. The purpose of the collected data remains unclear, but TikTok has been integrating AI-powered features like AI-generated ads and avatars.

SONAIR TAKES A CUE FROM DOLPHINS TO BUILD AUTONOMOUS 3D VISION WITHOUT LIDAR

Sonair has developed an ultrasound-based 3D computer vision technology for autonomous hardware. Aiming to replace lidar by offering a cost-effective and low-energy alternative, the system uses AI for object recognition and provides a 180-degree field of view. Sonair is initially targeting autonomous mobile robots. It recently raised $6.8 million to support technology aimed at enhancing robot perception.
