Google’s new AI breakthrough, Mixture-of-Depths (MoD), makes transformer models faster and more efficient by skipping unnecessary computations, focusing only on important words in a sequence.
This innovation reduces processing costs while maintaining or even improving AI performance, allowing models to train longer or scale bigger within the same budget.
By combining MoD with Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), Google has created an even smarter system that optimizes computing power, leading to faster AI language processing and significant improvements in machine learning efficiency.
