In a new paper JetFormer: An Autoregressive Generative Model of Raw Images and Text, a Google DeepMind research team introduces JetFormer, a groundbreaking autoregressive, decoder-only Transformer ...

Techniques such as using higher precision floating-point formats and incorporating more sophisticated positional encodings have ... persist due to the inherent limitations of the decoder-only ...

At the core of these powerful models lies the decoder-only transformer ... used fixed positional embeddings based on sinusoidal functions, while more recent models have explored learnable positional ...

Since its debut in 2017, the transformer architecture has evolved and ... the transformer applies “positional encoding,” which basically means that it modifies the values of each embedding ...
