Developer trains local VLA model with minimal attention vision encoder

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A machine learning enthusiast has developed a locally trained VLA (Very Large Array) model that utilizes a minimal attention-based vision encoder. The model maintains a large 768x768 matrix with per-cell LSTM-like gates, totaling over 25 million parameters. While initially intended for language modeling, the project transitioned to VLA tasks, with the model now processing vision through learned, state-directed attention on raw pixel values. AI

IMPACT This project showcases a novel approach to VLA model architecture, potentially influencing future research in localized AI development.
