};💡 I don't just scale parameters — I reimagine how models think, remember, and align with human cognition.
# Current LLMs: Sequential 🐌
for token in sequence:
output.append(generate(token))
# My Vision: Parallel & Continuous 🚀
thoughts = parallel_reasoning(context)
output = diffuse_and_refine(thoughts)Inspired by: Soft Token Reasoning Goal: Models that think before they speak |
@ KakaoBank: 200B+ Parameter LLMs 🎯 Key Innovations:

Building PREMem → Next-Gen Memory Systems graph LR
A[Experience] --> B[Consolidate]
B --> C[Structured Memory]
C --> D[Contextualize]
D --> E[Reasoning Loop]
E --> F[Decision]
Research: Episodic memory that learns to forget |
🎯 Core Principles:
Vision: AI that reasons with ethics, not just logic |
