How a Google DeepMind Spin-off Hunts Hidden Drug Targets

For more than a decade, artificial intelligence has been touted as a way to dramatically accelerate drug discovery. Yet despite billions of dollars in investment, relatively few AI-designed medicines have made it to patients. That’s partially because the timelines for careful drug testing can’t be…

Timing Trick Cuts Energy Used in LLM Training by Up to 14 Percent

OpenAI’s fourth large language model (LLM), GPT-4, took an estimated 50 gigawatt-hours to train, or the equivalent of 5,000 American homes’ yearly power consumption. That was in 2023. Since then, the computational resources used to train frontier LLMs have only increased, though direct power usage…

Identifying Interactions at Scale for LLMs

<!– –> Understanding the behavior of complex machine learning systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), is a critical challenge in modern artificial intelligence. Interpretability research aims to make the decision-making process more transparent to model builders and impacted humans, a step toward safer and more…
