Semidynamics AI SemiWiki

AI has changed a lot in the last ten years. In 2012, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were the state of the art for computer vision. Then around 2020 vison transformers (ViTs) redefined machine learning. Now, Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are changing the game again—blending image and text understanding to power everything… Read More
