The Conformer LLMs develop Large Language Models by amalgamating convolutional layers and Transformers. Originally used in automatic speech recognition, these conformer architectures are adapted for causal setups to aid in large-scale language modeling.

• Enhances the extraction of local and global dependencies over latent representations.
• Demonstrates adaptability across various applications extending beyond speech to include large-scale LLM training.
• Shows performance improvement by utilizing the strengths of both convolutional and transformer blocks.
• Explores new paradigms in AI architecture development, potentially leading to more efficient processing of natural language.

Conformer LLMs highlight the strategic benefit of combining disparate neural network components to achieve more powerful and versatile language processing tools. Explore the conformer approach.
