SpikingBrain: Revolutionizing AI Efficiency with Brain-Inspired Computing The Problem with Traditional AI Models Imagine trying to run a marathon while carrying a backpack that doubles in weight every mile. That’s essentially what happens with today’s large language models (LLMs) when processing long text sequences. Quadratic Scaling: Training costs explode as text length increases Memory Hog: Storing all historical data during inference becomes impractical Hardware Lock-In: Most models only work efficiently on expensive NVIDIA GPUs Enter SpikingBrain – a breakthrough architecture that draws inspiration from the human brain to solve these fundamental limitations. Brain-Inspired Architecture: How It Works 1. Hybrid Attention …
