A group of researchers working with MIT have come up with a solution to a baffling problem with ChatGPT and other large language models. As these models talk to users‚ they gradually start to collapse‚ eventually leading the bot's performance to drop rapidly. With this solution‚ though‚ that could be a thing of the past. The issue‚ the researchers note‚ stems from the key-value cache‚ which is essentially the bot's conversation memory. When this cache becomes full and needs to hold more‚ it often lets the first pieces of data get bumped out to make room. This move can actually cause ChatGPT and other LLM's performance to drop. As such‚ ensuring that the first few points of data remain in the memory is important to keeping the LLM moving forward without any issues‚ even if the conversation goes on for a long time. With ChatGPT usage still skyrocketing‚ adding a feature like StreamingLLM could make it perform even better. Image source: YouTube The researchers call the new method StreamingLLM‚ which allows the AI to remain efficient even when a conversation extends to more than four million words. The researchers tested it against another method‚ which helps avoid crashing and performance issues by constantly recomputing part of the past conversations. StreamingLLM actually performed more than 22 times faster‚ which would allow for performance in ChatGPT and other LLMs to remain consistent even during longer conversations‚ allowing you to get better results from ChatGPT and more. The authors of the study say that StreamingLLM would allow for the chatbot to have continual conversations throughout the entire day without requiring rebooting. Understanding the relationship that the cache plays to how the chatbot responds to human inputs is important. It helped highlight the issue for which the researchers needed to provide a resolution. They've published their findings in a new paper that appears on the arXiv preprint server. Currently‚ StreamingLLM has been incorporated into Nvidia's TensorRT-LLM‚ but it could make appearances in other chatbots‚ like ChatGPT‚ Claude‚ and more‚ if those companies see the same value that Nvidia did.

If any of you have found yourself using the Facebook mobile app this week and noticed it seeming to "chirp" at you -- multiple times‚ and incessantly -- you're not alone. I thought at first that someone at Facebook HQ seemingly decided this was a good idea‚ presumably to make it sound like the app was a bit more alive and active than normal. On Tuesday‚ though‚ Meta spokesman Andy Stone confirmed that the annoying chirping sound you're hearing is a bug and is not meant to be there as you're scrolling around the app. Stone also says a fix is coming -- though I expect many of you‚ or at least those of you still on Facebook‚ will greet this news the same way I did: With an urge to make it stop right now. Fortunately‚ that's super easy to do without needing to wait on a fix from Facebook: First‚ open the Menu by tapping the button at the bottom right of the Facebook app  Then‚ look for Settings &; privacy (you might have to scroll down just a bit). Tap it to open a drop-down menu‚ and then tap Settings. Scroll down until you see the Media button under the Preferences menu‚ and tap that. Under Sounds‚ make sure the In-App Sound toggle is switched off. And that's it. While we're on the topic‚ by the way‚ one additional note is also worth pointing out: That chirp is not the only annoying change to the Facebook app I've noticed lately. There's at least one other change that's caught my eye and which is very much not a bug -- and presumably meant to juice engagement. You may or may not have noticed‚ but when you're scrolling through your Stories at the top of the mobile app‚ you can now see tons more people in your Stories carousel who you don't follow that you're encouraged to follow. Maybe it's just me‚ but features and prompts like are just massively annoying -- because‚ think about it: The Stories carousel is there so you can see content that you've chosen to follow‚ whether from people you know or brands. What Facebook Stories is now doing (I first noticed this a few months ago) feels a little like: Suppose you're at a restaurant‚ hanging out with friends‚ and the restaurant has assembled a large group of people it thinks you might enjoy also hanging out with. And it lines them up‚ single file‚ right beside your table. No thanks‚ right? Facebook‚ I understand the need for growth hacks‚ but there's a difference between such efforts and annoying desperation‚ which is what these kinds of things come off as.
