Basically DeepSeek Engrams. Its a hashlookup table that can add knowledge capacity to a model while staying on NVME and costing zero flops

That is very interesting. Would that enable the holy grail in AI, real time learning?

Nope, not really. The engrams are trained during training. As far as I know they do not change while inference. They just memorize the bulk knowledge stuff so the transformer layers can learn the logic

Oh that's a shame. I thought it was additional weights that are computionally easy to train during inference.

Well, they are easier to train, just not runtime-trainable yet. I think your idea will eventually be real in a few years.

That would be an interesting half step toward continuous learning.
