  • Decentralized LLM Agent Coordination via Stigmergy


    Coordinating local LLM agents without a manager: stigmergy from ant coloniesTraditional multi-agent systems often rely on a central manager to delegate tasks, which can become a bottleneck as more agents are added. By drawing inspiration from ant colonies, a novel approach allows agents to operate without direct communication, instead responding to "pressure" signals from a shared environment. This method enables agents to propose changes to reduce local pressure, with coordination emerging naturally from the environment rather than through direct orchestration. Initial experiments using this approach show promising scalability, with linear performance improvements until input/output bottlenecks are reached, and no inter-agent communication required. This matters because it offers a scalable and efficient alternative to traditional multi-agent systems, potentially improving performance in complex tasks without centralized control.

  • End-to-End Test-Time Training for Long Context


    [R] End-to-End Test-Time Training for Long ContextLong-context language modeling is approached as a continual learning problem, utilizing a standard Transformer architecture with sliding-window attention. The model continues to learn during test time by predicting the next token based on the given context, effectively compressing the context into its weights. By employing meta-learning during training, the model's initialization is enhanced for learning at test time. This End-to-End Test-Time Training (TTT-E2E) method demonstrates scalability similar to full attention Transformers while maintaining constant inference latency, offering a significant speed advantage. This development is crucial as it provides a more efficient approach to handling long-context language tasks, improving both performance and speed.

  • S2ID: Scale Invariant Image Diffuser


    [P] S2ID: Scale Invariant Image Diffuser - trained on standard MNIST, generates 1024x1024 digits and at arbitrary aspect ratios with almost no artifacts at 6.1M parameters (Drastic code change and architectural improvement)The Scale Invariant Image Diffuser (S2ID) presents a novel approach to image generation that overcomes limitations of traditional diffusion architectures like UNet and DiT models, which struggle with artifacts when scaling image resolutions. S2ID leverages a unique method of treating image data as a continuous function rather than discrete pixels, allowing for the generation of clean, high-resolution images without the usual artifacts. This is achieved by using a coordinate jitter technique that generalizes the model's understanding of images, enabling it to adapt to various resolutions and aspect ratios. The model, trained on standard MNIST data, demonstrates impressive scalability and efficiency with only 6.1 million parameters, suggesting significant potential for applications in image processing and computer vision. This matters because it represents a step forward in creating more versatile and efficient image generation models that can adapt to different sizes and shapes without losing quality.
