753B model 'thinks', 4B model writes: latent-space handoff claimed to be 20x faster

A widely shared post describes a novel large/small model collaboration scheme: a 753B model 'thinks' about the answer while a 4B model writes it out, with communication happening in latent space rather than via tokens. The claim: performance nearly matching the big model at roughly 20x the speed. davidad quips that Transformers used to be called 'decoder-only', hinting at the architectural ideas circling back. Third-party report; details unverified.
