Do transformers need three projections? Systematic study of QKV variants

https://arxiv.org/static/browse/0.3.4/images/arxiv-logo-fb.png
Researchers evaluated three projection sharing constraints in transformers, finding that sharing query, key, and value projections (Q-K=V) achieves comparable or better performance with 50% cache reduction in language modeling. This approach is complementary to head sharing, enabling up to 96.9% cache reduction for practical on-device inference.

I'm skeptical about efforts to revolutionize schooling

https://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Revolutionizing-education.jpg
The author, who wrote the book Ultralearning, is skeptical of dramatic proposals to reform schools because research consistently shows that direct instruction and practice are the most effective teaching methods. He believes that schools should focus on increasing efficiency and choosing what to learn, rather than trying to make education more like play or using technology to gamify learning.
