Amazon Go

Amazon stores with no lines or checkout 🛍

Visit amazon.comAlternativestop 1% of December 2016

In plain words

Amazon Go is a grocery store concept that eliminates traditional checkout lines by using artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technology to automatically detect and charge customers for items they take. Shoppers enter with an Amazon account, grab products from shelves, and leave without stopping at a register. The system tracks purchases in real-time and bills customers directly, making the shopping experience faster and more convenient for those seeking quick grocery trips.

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15).

We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
