The sphere packing problem in dimension 8
Abstract
In this paper we prove that no packing of unit balls in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^8$ has density greater than that of the $E_8$-lattice packing.

- Show HN: Glq LLM quantization using E8 lattice
I have with the help of AI create an open source method of E8 LLM code book quantization library called glq. I was interested in creating Glq as a PC gamer and devops, interested in both LLMs and AI. The current high RAM prices and LLM resource usage also inspired me to write glq. A question arises could you try and squeeze more out a gaming GPU with limited VRAM size by using alternative LLM compression methods? Glq is effective compared to other LLM quantization algorithms at between 2-bits…

No no no, she is legit, no doubt here. She was a star way before the current events. She solved a long-standing open problem in fundamental maths. This is the holy grail in maths research. The main resulting paper is single-author, so there is no doubt who did the work. She got…
