    Amazing new format!!!!

    “If you can make god bleed he ceases to be a god” – Leonidas, or something

  • @CarletonTorpin says:

    13:43 – Ai Explained’s thumbnails are so succinct and useful that they even appear within the narrative Ai Explained’s own ai explainer videos.

  • @gordonfreeman4357 says:

    MLA doesn’t aim to reduce the weights, the bulk of these is in the MLP anyways – rather, it seeks to compress the KV cache thus requiring less memory at a later stage, during inference.

  • @Ofer_Davidi says:

    I have said and I’ll repeat, thanks for Derpseek for breaking the AI winter 😂

  • @gregory5320 says:

    Wow, this video was amazing. 34 minuts and I feel like maybe 3 passed. I was so into it.

  • @martiddy says:

    This type of format reminds me of ColdFusion videos. I like it

  • @scriptod91 says:

    Oh you actually released this here, I loved it on patreon!

  • @Konic_and_Snuckles says:

    My dude, this mini-documentary was abso—and I cannot stress this next part enough—fuckinglutely incredible. Equal parts sobering and inspiring. More, please.

  • @elliottneal2285 says:

    really like this format – don’t listen to those like jake who can’t make it past a 10 minute video. Very insightful, can really see the effort tou’ve put into this one

  • @cebauerindy says:

    Incredible!! This must have taken a lot of work to put together. I really appreciate this format. While I watch your other videos regularly, it was a delightful surprise to see this pop up in my feed. Just finished the video and would love to see more content like this in the future. Keep doing what you’re doing. You continue to be my number one source for AI news and insights. Thanks for all your hard work! 🙂🙏

  • @pigeon_official says:

    I used to be subscribed to a ton of AI channels on YT, but then I realized they all just cover the same stuff and stuff I already know about, since I myself obsess over AI, so I already know everything before these YTers can make a video on it. So I’ve since unsubbed from them all because they bring no value I don’t already get from my own personal searchings, except you. This is seriously an amazing documentary; please continue to post these high-quality videos here eventually, and don’t force a Patreon. I think everyone should see this stuff.

  • @reza2kn says:

    MAGNIFICENT WORK! Smashing! 🔥🙏👏❤
    Missed the “Have a *wonderful* day” at the end though 😅

  • @avinashsuresh5221 says:

    Sending hugs to Liang. He just wanted to help open source and do meaningful research on superintelligence, but now has to hide from undesired attention.

    He is my idol now. The only sensible businessman (who is not after profits) I have come across. Also, I am learning RL from a Chinese professor’s English lectures on YouTube. So, my respect for Chinese has greatly increased.

  • @cariyaputta says:

    Can’t wait for DeepSeek R2

  • @haukauntrie says:

    Really insightful and well made, would like to see more documentaries like that from you.

  • @Da_Peach says:

    you love to see it – high quality pieces produced by journalists with integrity

  • @BartholomewdeGracie says:

    Love this format. The production value was excellent.

    Looking forward to the “What’s Next”

  • @fiorisony says:

    This was really great. Love the format.

  • @andrecarvalho9637 says:

    I run DeepSeek R1 in our company and it was a game changer
