The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

I'd have to think of some mechanics there.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

Yeah, so image diffusion models work in an entirely different way than the next token predicting GPT models.

The Neuron: AI Explained

So we've invited Stefano today because he's taken that same technology and applied it to LLMs.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And it has the potential to transform how AI is used in all types of settings from agents to complex enterprise workflows.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

Whoa.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

That is so much cooler than the typewriter effect of the AI.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

Yeah, that's awesome.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

It's really cool, too, when you do this, like when you build a game in HTML5, like how quickly it can make you something like Pong or any kind of 2D game.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

It's amazing.

Well, before we get to this interview, please take a quick second to like and subscribe to the channel so we can keep bringing you the most interesting people in tech and AI.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And how is it that they're actually reasoning over the original version that they create?

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

How do they know that the first version isn't good?

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

Are they kind of similar in size?

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

Should we be thinking about them the same way?

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

How do we compare them to a traditional language model?

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

It's kind of funny.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

Basically, what you're talking about is instead of scaling the amount of GPUs widely, it's like, let's scale the amount of tokens that we're actually dealing with at a certain time.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

And then you can do less on a GPU.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

That's awesome.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Diffusion for Text: Why Mercury Could Make LLMs 10x Faster

So why wouldn't all the big labs like immediately switch to this?
