The sleep framework: A new way for LLMs to retain knowledge in continual learning
Modern LLMs achieve impressive performance via pre-training and in-context learning (ICL). However, once deployed, they remain largely static, operating with a fixed knowledge cutoff date that leaves them unable to acquire long-term capabilities or adapt to new information.While updating models with new data seems like the obvious solution, continual parameter updates often trigger catastrophic forgetting, a fundamental issue where learning new tasks severely degrades performance on previously l...
