How different are world models from LLMs? I'm not in the AI space but follow it here. I always assumed they belonged to the same "family" of tech and were more similar than different. But are they sufficiently different that

Yep, I think these two things can be true at the same time: 1. Admitting a certain amount of students based on legacy status is not necessarily a bad thing 2. A University should not be eligible for taxpayer funds if they have admissions li

Interesting. If IBM was trying to solve for memory consumption, why do you think they picked Swift over alternatives that might also have achieved lower memory consumption?
