Qualcomm Technologies and Meta are working to optimize the execution of Meta’s Llama 2 large language models directly on-device — without relying on the sole use of cloud services. The ability to run generative AI models like Llama 2 on devices such as smartphones, PCs, VR/AR headsets, and vehicles allows developers to save on cloud…

It’s been suggested for decades that Sanskrit might be the ideal language for knowledge representation in artificial intelligence (AI). This is because of Skaskrit’s rule-heavy and formula-based syntax, which makes it a logical and excellent choice for writing algorithms. But is this true? Let’s investigate. Origin The claims that Sanskrit is one of the best…
