DESCRIPTION:Professor Jason Eshraghian - UCSC Neuromorphic Computing Grou
 p\nThis talk explores the collision between neuromorphic computing and lar
 ge language models. I will walk through our lab's journey building frontie
 r reasoning LLMs\, from software to neuromorphic hardware\, covering the w
 ins\, the losses\, and everything in between. The path runs through spikin
 g LLMs (SpikeGPT)\, MatMul-free LLMs on Loihi 2\, and culminates in our la
 tent reasoning model\, Ouro\, trained end-to-end on a full production pipe
 line spanning data curation\, pre-training\, post-training\, and alignment
 . At roughly 2 billion parameters\, Ouro outperforms every leading model f
 rom Meta\, Google\, and the rest of the over-resourced crowd in the ~10B r
 egime\, punching about 5x above its weight. We've deployed several of thes
 e models on neuromorphic hardware at 2 watts\, bringing state-of-the-art r
 easoning from the datacenter to the edge. \n\nhttps://epfl.zoom.us/j/6594
