### How WebAssembly is accelerating new web functionality

**0:28** · Next we can head over to Chrome to talk about all the exciting ways WebAssembly is accelerating the web.

### Scaling vision transformers to 22 billion parameters

**0:55** · If you're building AI vision models, then you'll be excited to learn about how to scale vision transformers to 22 billion parameters.

**1:01** · LLMs, or Large Language Models like PaLM or GPT-3 show that scaling parameters improves performance but also unlocks emergent abilities.

**1:10** · But the largest dense models have only reached around 4 billion parameters.

**1:15** · Thanks to VIT-22B, we can incorporate ideas from scaling models like PaLM to a new modified architecture to scale to 5.5 times larger.

**1:24** · To learn more about this new technique, check out the Google Research blog.

**1:28** · Finally, we can talk about the March 2023 release for JetPack Compose.
