AI2050 Project

Current large language models (LLMs) rely on computationally expensive deep learning architectures and algorithms which can limit the scope of their applications, hinder access, and contribute to their carbon footprint. This project develops new AI architectures that can reduce computational costs by using more efficient algorithms to process information. These architectures are expected to enable new applications such as long-context processing and on-device deployment, while lowering the energy and resource costs required for training and deploying LLMs.
