RL for continuous learning is slow and can lead to catastrophic forgetting; OPSD does not work reliably. At Ramp Labs we’ve been taking an alternative bet to continuous learning, one that involves efficient accumulated memory in the KV cache over changing parametric knowledge.
This blog is the start of a multi part series on techniques my coworker Jeff and I have been exploring over the last few months to bring these techniques to the frontier. Watch this space 👀
