New non-transformer language model built from scratch in Rust
Original: PSSA: A non-transformer language model written from scratch in Rust
A developer has released PSSA, an experimental language model that does not use the transformer architecture dominating modern AI, implemented entirely from scratch in Rust. The project, shared on GitHub, is drawing interest from programmers and AI enthusiasts curious about alternatives to transformer-based designs and about Rust as a language for machine learning work.
Why now: Interest in alternatives to transformer architectures is growing as researchers and hobbyists question whether transformers are the only viable approach to language modelling.
