LONG AWAITED RWKV PAPER

Transformers displaced recurrent neural networks as the primary tool for most text based tasks. However, these Transformers are expensive and limited in context due to the architecture. RWKV is an attention variant (vaguely reminiscent of linear attention) that claims to have the best of both Transformers and recurrent models. The Discord is quite active, but there hasn't been a formal write up of this hyped model. This paper is the first to explain the model in depth.

AN UPDATE ON TOKENIZED SECURITIES

Tokenized securities, digital versions of traditional assets like T-bills, ETFs, or stocks, are gaining traction with a market cap of over $220 million, facilitated largely by platforms like Ondo and Matrixdock. They offer a way to invest in low-risk traditional financial instruments using crypto assets like USDC, attracting on-chain treasury capital. Most tokenized assets are issued on Ethereum due to its large capital base. While the process of investing in these assets is not as efficient as the TradFi system yet, it’s easy to envision infrastructure being developed that will make it orders of magnitude more efficient in the future.
