Meta's Stock Plunge 💸 // TSMC's A16 Process 🚀 // Instruction Hierarchy Boosting LLMs 📈

Meta's aggressive AI investments have caused a 13% plunge in their stock, threatening to wipe out almost $163 billion from their market value. TSMC's new A16 manufacturing process promises to outperform its predecessor, N2P, by a significant margin, with an up to 10% higher clock rate at the same voltage and a 15% - 20% lower power consumption at the same frequency and complexity. The Instruction Hierarchy proposes a data generation method to demonstrate hierarchical instruction following behavior, which drastically increases robustness for LLMs against attacks. SPLATE is a lightweight adaptation of the ColBERTv2 model that improves the efficiency of late interaction retrieval, particularly for running ColBERT on CPU environments.
