Physics of AI: Unlocking the Laws Behind Next-Token Prediction

Welcome to another episode of the SHIFTERLABS Podcast, where we transform cutting-edge research into accessible insights using Google Notebook LM. This time, we explore the fascinating intersection of physics and AI through the groundbreaking paper Physics in Next-Token Prediction.

 

What if intelligence in auto-regressive models like ChatGPT was simply a transfer of information governed by physical laws? Discover the First and Second Laws of Information Capacity, which reveal how data compression, entropy, and energy consumption shape the emergence of intelligence. We’ll also dive into the practical implications of these laws, from optimizing AI training to understanding the limits of energy efficiency in computing.

 

Join us as we demystify the principles that connect physics and AI, bringing clarity to the science behind next-token prediction. Get ready for a thought-provoking journey into the mechanics of intelligence itself!
