Salesforce AI Research Proposes PerfCodeGen: A Training-Free Framework that Enhances the Performance of LLM-Generated Code with Execution Feedback
Large Language Models (LLMs) have become essential tools in software development, offering capabilities such as generating code snippets, automating unit tests, and debugging. However, these models often fall short in producing code that is not only functionally correct but also efficient in runtime. Overlooking runtime efficiency can lead to software that performs poorly, increases operational… Read more

Researchers from Meta AI and UT Austin Explored Scaling in Auto-Encoders and Introduced ViTok: A ViT-Style Auto-Encoder to Perform Exploration
Modern image and video generation methods rely heavily on tokenization to encode high-dimensional data into compact latent representations. While advancements in scaling generator models have been substantial, tokenizers—primarily based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs)—have received comparatively less attention. This raises questions about how scaling tokenizers might improve reconstruction accuracy and generative tasks. Challenges include architectural… Read more
