Researchers at the Tokyo-based startup Sakana AI have developed a new technique that enables language models to use memory more efficiently, helping enterprises cut the costs of building applications on top of large language models (LLMs) and other Transformer-based models.

The responses of Transformer models, the backbone of LLMs, depend on the content …
