πŸ—πŸš’πŸš€ Reasoning in Continuous Latent Space


​

Hey, AIM community!

​

Next Wednesday, join us as we dive into Cursor: An AI Engineer’s Guide! We'll show you how to set up a dev environment that aligns with what some of the best AI Engineers use in the daily workflows to build, ship, and share LLM applications. We'll even introduce you to the future: 🎸 Vibe Coding - a.k.a. coding in mostly natural language!

​


Last week, we explored Reasoning in Continuous Latent Space, including COCONUT and a deeper, even more recent, "Recurrent Depth" approach. This is a continuation of our Large Reasoning Models series! We explored both of these novel approaches to training LLMs for reasoning and broke them down, from concepts to code.

πŸ’‘ Big Idea: We don’t need to use tokens directly for reasoning!

COCONUT shows us that we can do it. Recurrent depth hypothesizes that we might be able to do it even more efficiently in latent space than in token space!

PydanticAI: From Data Validation to Agents

Meet PydanticAI, from the team that brough you Pydantic! This is one of the latest agent frameworks that everyone is talking about! Dr. Greg and The Wiz will demo how to learn, build, ship, and share agentic and multi-agent apps with this new orchestration library. Join us live to get your questions answered!

Optimization of LLMs: A Series Introduction

PPO, DPO, GRPO. What do they have in common? O = Optimization. We're kicking off a brand new series that will trace the origins and history of LLMs, from gradient descent through to today's state-of-the-art. It's gonna be a journey through ML, DL, CV, NLP, and up to The LLM Edge today. Join us.

RAG: The 2025 Best Practice Stack

Hey, AIM community! Tomorrow, we'll cover Enterprise Agents with OpenAI! What does the agents SDK look like from OpenAI? How does it build on previous work they've done? Are they officially in the end-to-end platform game competing with orchestration frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, and others? Join us live to find out! Last week, we discussed RAG: The 2025 Best-Practice Stack This is the year of Practical RAG, and we kicked it off by unpacking the Minimum Viable...

DeepSeek Week

Hey, AIM community! On Wednesday, we'll cover the infra stack that we recommend for RAG in 2025. Then, we'll build, ship, and share a best-practice RAG app. We'll also discuss important production tradeoffs and implications that you should consider before and after deployment when going from zero to production RAG! Last week, we discussed the latest open-source repo drops from DeepSeek Week, and we covered how they're being used as a new best-practice way to do inference on MoE models via...

Optimization of LLMs

Hey, AIM community! Next Wednesday, we begin a new series on Optimization of LLMs! We'll tackle an important topic from first principles: building and optimizing LLMs before they make it to production. What are the essential concepts and code that underlie the technology, from loss functions and gradient descent to LSTMs, RLHF, and GRPO? Join us to kick off our new series - which we will continue monthly - about Optimization of LLMs. Last week, we put PydanticAI to the test! πŸš€ The team behind...
