Going ‘AI-first’ appears to be backfiring on Klarna and Duolingo
MAY 12, 2025
Artificial intelligence might be the future of the workplace, but companies that are trying to get a head start on that future are running into all sorts of problems. Klarna and Duloingo have been some of the poster children for the “AI-first” workplace. Two years ago, Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski announced he wanted his company to be the “favorite guinea pig” of OpenAI, instituting a hiring freeze and replacing as many workers as possible with AI systems.

Research: The gold standard for GenAI evaluation
Dataconomy
MAY 12, 2025
How do we evaluate systems that evolve faster than our tools to measure them? Traditional machine learning evaluations, rooted in train-test splits, static datasets, and reproducible benchmarks, are no longer adequate for the open-ended, high-stakes capabilities of modern GenAI models. The core proposal of this position paper is bold but grounded: AI competitions, long used to crowdsource innovation, should be elevated to the default method for empirical evaluation in GenAI.

TransMLA: Multi-head latent attention is all you need
Hacker News
MAY 12, 2025
Modern large language models (LLMs) often encounter communication bottlenecks on current hardware, rather than purely computational constraints. Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) tackles this challenge by using low-rank matrices in the key-value (KV) layers, thereby allowing compressed latent KV states to be cached. This approach significantly reduces the KV cache size relative to traditional multi-head attention, leading to faster inference.
