JPMorgan Chase is piloting a new monitoring system for its junior investment bankers, aiming to bring greater visibility into working hours and tackle concerns around excessive workloads. Under the initiative, the bank will compare hours logged by employees on their timesheets with activity data cap
Post-training Large Language Models (LLMs) for long-horizon agentic tasks—such as software engineering, web browsing, and complex tool use—presents a persistent trade-off between computational efficiency and model generalization. While Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) is computationally inexpensive, it
The scaling of Large Language Models (LLMs) is increasingly constrained by memory communication overhead between High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and SRAM. Specifically, the Key-Value (KV) cache size scales with both model dimensions and context length, creating a significant bottleneck for long-context
