Engram embeddings load overlapped with GPU compute, so fetch time costs nothing
bookwormengr · x · 2026-09-10
The author explains that Engram embeddings can be loaded overlapped with ongoing GPU compute: the embedding is fetched while computation happens, so retrieval adds no latency, illustrated with a schematic. They point to the original paper published in January 2026 for the exact mechanism, with the TL;DR being that no time is lost fetching Engram embeddings. The question of why Engram embeddings work is left for a follow-up post.
