From Heads to Factors: A Deep Dive into Tensor Product Attention and the T6 Transformer
A Transformer layer must preserve every key–value pair for every head, layer, and past token—a memory bill that rises linearly with context length.

The Hidden Danger of AI Oversight: Why Model Similarity Might Undermine Reliability
Artificial Intelligence, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Llama, and Gemini, has witnessed extraordinary progress. These powerful models can effortlessly handle tasks from writing articles to solving complex reasoning problems. Yet, as these models become smarter, ensuring they’re behaving as intended is becoming harder for humans alone.

The Semiclassical Death of Warp Bubbles
Introduction: From Sci-Fi to Semi-Classical Reality
The dream of faster-than-light travel has long danced on the edge of science and imagination. Since Miguel Alcubierre first proposed a warp drive metric in 1994—a solution to Einstein’s field equations that allows a spaceship to “surf” through spacetime by contracting space in front of it and expanding it behind—scientists have speculated whether such a phenomenon could ever be physically realized.

How AlexNet Lit the Spark and ResNet Fanned the Flames
In the ever-evolving landscape of deep learning, certain architectures have defined turning points in how neural networks are designed, trained, and understood. Among these, AlexNet and ResNet stand out as monumental contributions that shifted the paradigm of computer vision and image classification. Though separated by just three years, these two architectures reflect fundamentally different eras of deep learning—AlexNet laid the groundwork for deep convolutional networks, while ResNet solved the pressing problems that deeper architectures introduced.

Black Hole Meets Neutron Star. Nothing Happens. Everything Changes
Introduction: When Gravity Speaks and Light Doesn’t
Astronomy entered a new era in 2017 when scientists witnessed the first ever multi-messenger event: GW170817. It was a neutron star collision that didn’t just ripple space-time but also burst forth in light—gamma rays, optical waves, X-rays, and more. Since then, the race has been on to catch more of these cosmic spectacles. But what happens when nature offers only silence?
