Google's AI research lab, DeepMind, has published research on a new AI training method called JEST, which claims to accelerate training speed and energy efficiency by an order of magnitude. The method, dubbed joint example selection, trains AI models based on entire batches rather than individual data points. This results in 13 times more performance and ten times higher power efficiency compared to other methods.
