The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 7 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 2 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Bachman: StarCoder-3B converted to Power Retention matches baseline loss in two hours
“After just 10,000 steps of training, which this training one took about two hours, this orange curve, you see that it fully matches the original loss.”
Bachman: Manifest AI is releasing Power Retention architecture with fixed-size memory
“Power retention is the specific variant that we're about to release.
And it basically works by instead of the memory constantly growing, this constantly
Growing KVCache.
You have a memory that is a fixed size and each new token simply gets compressed into this…”
Bachman: PowerCoder-3B reaches 35% HumanEval accuracy versus StarCoder's 30%
“In the end, this converges to, I believe, about 35% accuracy on human eval, whereas the star coder baseline was about 30%.”
Bachman: Manifest Switched Power Retention from Triton to Custom CUDA
“Actually, our initial version of power retention was written in Triton, but we realized quickly that it just didn't offer the flexibility to really squeeze the performance that we wanted out of the GPU. So we took a step back and dove into CUDA.”
Bachman: Manifest AI will open-source all tools for transformer metamorphosis
“We're going to be completely open sourcing all of the pieces that you need to do this metamorphosis yourself”
Bachman: Manifest AI built Manifesto to repair repositories using PowerCoder-3B
“We made a tool called Manifesto, where basically you can point it at any repo, including a very large repo, and it will basically fix any in that repo, or do its best to, of course. It's only a three billion parameter model, so, you know, it has its limitation…”
