🎌 Two months in, https://github.com/takara-ai/go-attention has passed 429 stars on GitHub.

We built this library at takara.ai to bring attention mechanisms and transformer layers to Go — in a form that's lightweight, clean, and dependency-free.

We’re proud to say that every part of this project reflects what we set out to do.

- Pure Go — no external dependencies, built entirely on the Go standard library
- Core support for DotProductAttention and MultiHeadAttention
- Full transformer layers with LayerNorm, feed-forward networks, and residual connections
- Designed for edge, embedded, and real-time environments where simplicity and performance matter

Thank you to everyone who has supported this so far — the stars, forks, and feedback mean a lot.

# Video Tokenization — for efficient AI video processing

Meet 𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐓𝐨𝐤, a new open-source video tokenization technique developed by Microsoft Research to address the computational challenges of processing large volumes of video data. The core problem VidTok tackles is the inefficiency caused by redundant information in raw video pixels.

VidTok converts complex video footage into compact, structured units called tokens, making it easier and more efficient for AI systems to analyze, understand, and generate video content.

The best researchers from Yale, Stanford, Google DeepMind, and Microsoft laid out all we know about Agents in a 264-page paper [book],

Here are some of their key findings:

They build a mapping of different agent components, such as perception, memory, and world modelling, to different regions of the human brain and compare them:

- brain is much more energy-efficient
- no genuine experience in agents
- brain learns continuously, agent is static

An agent is broken down to:
- Perception: the agent's input mechanism. can be improved with multi-modality, feedback mechanisms (e.g., human corrections), etc.
- Cognition: learning, reasoning, planning, memory. LLMs are key in this part.
- Action: agent's output and tool use.

Agentic memory is represented as:
- Sensory memory or short-term holding of inputs which is not emphasized much in agents.
- Short-term memory which is the LLM context window
- Long-term memory which is the external storage such as RAG or knowledge graphs.

The memory in agents can be improved and researched in terms of:
- increasing the amount of stored information
- how to retrieve the most relevant info
- combining context-window memory with external memory
- deciding what to forget or update in memory

The agent must simulate or predict the future states of the environment for planning and decision-making.

ai world models are much simpler than the humans' with their causal reasoning (cause-and-effect) or physical intuition.

LLM world models are mostly implicit and embedded.

EMOTIONS are a deep aspect of humans, helping them with social interactions, decision-making, or learning.

Agents must understand emotions to better interact with us.

But rather than encoding the feeling of emotions, they have a surface-level modelling of emotions.

Perception is the process by which an agent receives and interprets raw data from its surroundings.

What, How, Where, and How Well? This paper reviews test-time scaling methods and all you need to know about them:
> parallel, sequential, hybrid, internal scaling
> how to scale (SFT, RL, search, verification)
> metrics and evals of test-time scaling

🔗paper: What, How, Where, and How Well? A Survey on Test-Time Scaling in Large Language Models (2503.24235)

If you want to learn what inference-time compute scaling is @rasbt has a great blog post on that:

What inspired the Transformer architecture in the "Attention Is All You Need" paper? And how were various ideas combined to create this groundbreaking model?

In this lengthy article, I explore the story and the origins of some of the ideas introduced in the paper. We'll explore everything from the fundamental attention mechanism that lies at its heart to the surprisingly simple explanation for its name, Transformer.

💡 Examples of ideas explored in the article:

✅ What was the inspiration for the attention mechanism?
✅ How did we go from attention to self-attention?
✅ Did the team have any other names in mind for the model?

and more...

I aim to tell the story of Transformers as I would have wanted to read it, and hopefully, one that appeals to others interested in the details of this fascinating idea. This narrative draws from video interviews, lectures, articles, tweets/Xs, and some digging into the literature. I have done my best to be accurate, but errors are possible. If you find inaccuracies or have any additions, please do reach out, and I will gladly make the necessary updates.

Takara takes 3rd place in the {tech:munich} AI hackathon with Fudeno!

A little over 2 weeks ago @aldigobbler and I set out to create the largest MultiModal SVG dataset ever created, we succeeded in this and when I was in Munich, Germany I took it one step further and made an entire app with it!

We fine-tuned Mistral Small, made a Next.JS application and blew some minds, taking 3rd place out of over 100 hackers. So cool!

If you want to see the dataset, please see below.

I’ve just released logfire-callback on PyPI, designed to facilitate monitoring of Hugging Face Transformer training loops using Pydantic Logfire 🤗

The callback will automatically log training start with configuration parameters, periodic metrics and training completion ⏱️

Install the package using pip:
pip install logfire-callback

First, ensure you have a Logfire API token and set it as an environment variable:
export LOGFIRE_TOKEN=your_logfire_token

Then use the callback in your training code:
from transformers import Trainer, TrainingArguments
from logfire_callback import LogfireCallback

# Initialize your model, dataset, etc.

training_args = TrainingArguments(
    output_dir="./results",
    num_train_epochs=3,
    # ... other training arguments
)

trainer = Trainer(
    model=model,
    args=training_args,
    train_dataset=train_dataset,
    callbacks=[LogfireCallback()]  # Add the Logfire callback here
)

trainer.train()

If you have any feedback, please reach out at @louisbrulenaudet
