Why do some large AI models suddenly collapse during training—and how can geometry prevent it?

In this episode of Artificial Intelligence: Papers and Concepts, we break down DeepSeek AI's Manifold-Constrained Hyperconnections (mHC), a new architectural approach that fixes training instability in large language models. We explore why traditional hyperconnections caused catastrophic signal explosions, and how constraining them to a geometric structure—doubly stochastic matrices on the Birkhoff polytope—restores stability at scale.

You'll learn how mHC reduces signal amplification from 3,000× to ~1.6×, enables reliable training of 27B-parameter models, and even improves reasoning performance—all with minimal overhead. A must-listen for anyone building or scaling deep neural networks.
