Beyond LLMs: Exploring Concept Models and JEPA Architectures

This post explores alternative AI models beyond traditional Large Language Models (LLMs), which primarily focus on next-token prediction. It introduces Large Concept Models (LCMs) that predict entire sentences represented as vectors, offering language-agnostic capabilities and planning at the idea level. The article also discusses Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPA), which aim to predict the meaning or representation of missing data rather than reconstructing raw pixels or tokens, leading to more efficient and human-like reasoning. AI

IMPACT These alternative architectures offer potential improvements in efficiency and reasoning capabilities compared to current LLMs.

    LLMs Aren’t the Only Game in Town: A Beginner’s Guide to JEPA, Concept Models and Decision Models

    <p>Last week I asked a teammate, "Is the build green?"</p> <p>He replied with four paragraphs. There was context. There was a history of the CI pipeline. There was a philosophical aside about flaky tests. Somewhere in paragraph three was the word "yes".</p> <p>That, in one office…
