'Western Qwen': IBM wows with Granite 4 LLM launch and hybrid Mamba/Transformer architecture

The Qwen family from Alibaba remains a dense, decoder-only Transformer architecture, with no Mamba or SSM layers in its mainline models. However, experimental offshoots like Vamba-Qwen2-VL-7B show ...

Convergence to Zero of Quadratic Lyapunov Functions for Multiagent Systems in Time-Varying Directed Networks

Abstract: The quadratic Lyapunov function-based method for consensus analysis of discrete-time single-integrator multiagent systems (MASs) in general time-varying directed networks is not well ...
