Personal continual learning for LLMs without GPU — position paper [OC]
Summary
The author proposes two architectures, Internal KV-Sphere Architecture (IKSA) and Background Micro Fine-Tuning (BMFT), for enabling LLMs to learn continually from personal interactions without GPU requirements and without catastrophic forgetting.

When Does Continual Learning Require Learning
This paper proposes a unified framework for continual learning in LLMs, disentangling change along space (new domains) and time (data drift). It evaluates various methods including prompting, supervised learning, reinforcement learning, and context compression under realistic sequential settings.
Path Forward for LLMs
The article discusses why LLMs cannot learn from user interactions and lack a deterministic truth layer, proposing that a dynamic knowledge graph could reduce hallucinations and improve performance in high-stakes fields.
