How Local and Global Attention Share a Memory Budget

An end-to-end explanation of the model’s attention cache: separate histories for each layer, recent-window storage in local layers, full-history storage in global layers, and shared key-value heads.

Allocating Quantization Precision Under a Memory Budget

How static allocations, Greedy-KL, and EvoPress distribute weight precision to fit an edge deployment budget, and how calibration and downstream evaluation check the resulting quality tradeoff.

Synthetic Digital-Life Environments for Agent Training

Real users and tool histories are costly and sensitive to collect; this pipeline creates coherent simulated digital lives and filters their task trajectories for grounded, privacy-aware, and safe agent practice.

Teacher-Guided Distillation for a Compact Agent Model

A compact agent must learn broad capabilities and recover from its own imperfect generation paths; Muse Glimmer uses teacher-provided token distributions first during pre-training and then on student-generated rollouts before reinforcement learning.
