SilverTorch: Index as Model — A New Retrieval Paradigm for Recommendation Systems
We’re introducing SilverTorch, a reimagining of recommendation systems that unifies all retrieval components for user generated content under a unified architecture. SilverTorch shows up to 23.7x higher throughput compared to the state-of-the-art approaches. It’s also showing 20.9x more compute cost efficiency compared to a CPU-based solution while also improving accuracy. Our research paper, “SilverTorch: A [...
