Research

Papers, benchmarks and the techniques behind what eventually ships.

  • Quantisation

    Storing and computing model weights at lower numerical precision to cut memory and bandwidth.

  • Calibration

    Whether a model’s stated confidence matches how often it is actually right.

  • Hallucination

    A model stating something false with confidence: a predictable consequence of how models are trained and graded.

  • Chain of thought

    Working through intermediate steps before answering, which measurably improves accuracy on multi-step problems.

  • Test-time compute

    Spending more computation at the moment a question is asked, rather than only during training.

  • Attention

    The mechanism letting each token weigh how much every other token matters to it.

  • Mixture of experts

    An architecture where only a fraction of the network activates for any given token.

  • Transformer

    The neural network architecture underneath essentially every modern AI model, introduced in 2017.

  • Tokenisation

    Splitting text into tokens using a vocabulary learned from a training corpus.

  • Embedding

    A list of numbers representing a piece of text, positioned so that similar meanings land near each other.
