Can artificial intelligence (AI) create its own algorithms to speed up matrix multiplication, one of machine learning’s most fundamental tasks? Today, in a paper published in Nature, DeepMind ...

Matrix multiplication is at the heart of many machine learning breakthroughs, and it just got faster—twice. Last week, DeepMind announced it discovered a more efficient way to perform matrix ...

(But this new record still lags behind the 91 steps that would be required to beat Strassen’s algorithm using 5-by-5 matrices.) The new high-profile result created a lot of excitement, with some ...
