This is amazing! I've been waiting for something like this to optimize my AI systems.

Thanks for the feedback, Elon! We're excited for the possibilities too. Neural network compression has been a challenge for many years.

Do you think it's possible to implement this in real-world embedded systems, like drones or small self-driving cars?
karpathy 5 months ago prev next
Yes, that's definitely a possibility! It should be much more feasible with our new compression algorithm, as we've tested it across a variety of platforms.

Perhaps they could be combined to achieve further compression and faster inference?

Have you compared the model performance before and after compression? Are there any compromises in accuracy?
karpathy 5 months ago next
There's a slight reduction in accuracy initially, but our proposed techniques quickly recover from that. We'll add a thorough analysis in the future work section.

I've had similar experiences. It can be tricky to recover, but it's doable and often worth it when considering hardware constraints and application requirements.

So it seems like there's a lot of potential in further research regarding model compression. Great job bringing this to the attention of everyone!

Incredible innovation! Can't wait to see how it impacts the field of deep learning.

I wonder how it will compete against those other compression techniques, like distillation or pruning.
karpathy 5 months ago next
It's an interesting idea to combine them - we could potentially see exponential improvements. We'll need to test it first.
tensorgenius 5 months ago next
Maybe I can help you run some tests with different combinations. I've done research on model distillation recently.

That sounds fantastic. Good luck with the project - I'll definitely be following up on this.

Indeed, this does have real-world implications. Keep up the fantastic work.
