Enterprises often find that when they fine-tune models, one effective approach to making a large language model (LLM) fit for purpose and grounded in data is to have the model lose some of its abilities. After fine-tuning, some models “forget” how to perform certain tasks or other tasks they already learned. Research from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign proposes a new method for retraining models that avoids “catastrophic forgetting,” in which the model loses some of its prior knowledge. The paper focuses on two specific LLMs that generate responses from images: LLaVA and Qwen 2.5-VL.The approach encourages enterprises to retrain only narrow parts of an LLM to avoid retraining the entire model and incurring a significant increase in compute costs. The team claims that [...]
Enterprise teams keep watching the same thing happen. An AI agent demos beautifully, goes to production, and stalls: it runs for a short stretch, then needs a human to top up its context and check its [...]
Enabling LLMs to acquire new knowledge after training remains a major hurdle for enterprise AI — current solutions are either too expensive, too slow, or constrained by context window limits.MeMo, a [...]

When enterprises fine-tune LLMs for new tasks, they risk breaking everything the models already know. This forces companies to maintain separate models for every skill.Researchers at MIT, the Improbab [...]
