Liquid AI's STAR Framework Outperforms Transformers in Efficiency

Liquid AI has introduced a new framework called STAR (Synthesis of Tailored Architectures) aimed at automating the evolution of neural network architectures. The STAR framework uses evolutionary algorithms to iteratively generate and refine populations of architectures tailored to specific tasks, metrics, and hardware requirements. The initiative seeks to balance quality and efficiency in AI model design, addressing a critical challenge in the field. STAR is part of Liquid AI's broader objective to design foundation models that maximize both quality and efficiency. Early reports suggest that STAR outperforms traditional Transformer models in terms of efficiency.
