SUMMARY:TILOS-HDSI Seminar: Neuromorphic LLMs
DESCRIPTION:Jason Eshraghian\, UC Santa Cruz \nAbstract: This talk will show you what neuromorphic computing can do when an academic lab accidentally pulls $2-million of GPU-hours. We will showcase a series of frontier reasoning LLMs developed out of an academic lab\, from data curation and pre-training to post-training and alignment. These models surpass leading LLMs from Meta\, Google\, and other heavily-resourced labs in the ~10-billion parameter regime\, despite being 5x smaller. \nWe have deployed several models on neuromorphic hardware at just 2 watts\, bringing state-of-the-art reasoning from the datacenter to the edge. Along the way\, we dispel a series of widely-held assumptions about large-scale neuromorphic computation\, revealing how it fundamentally differs from conventional deep learning\, and why that difference matters. \n\nJason Eshraghian is an Assistant Professor and Fulbright Scholar in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. He is the developer of snnTorch\, a Python library with over 500\,000 downloads for training spiking neural networks. He is a dual-appointed IEEE CAS and EMBS Distinguished Lecturer\, an Associate Editor of APL Machine Learning\, the Chair of the IEEE Neural Systems and Applications Technical Committee\, has been the recipient of seven IEEE Best Paper Awards\, a Scientific Advisory Board Member of BrainChip and leads the Neuromorphic Agents Team at Conscium.
