DeepSeek's newly proposed Engram architecture introduces a fundamental shift in Large Language Models by decoupling static factual knowledge retrieval from dynamic reasoning. In this post, we explore how separating memory from compute could reshape the future memory hierarchy of LLMs.
In this article, VISTA Lab Researcher Ülkü Tuncer Küçüktaş analyzes the infrastructure implications of this architectural leap, highlighting how it elevates host DRAM and NVMe storage from mere system overhead to first-class contributors in future HPC clusters and AI training pipelines.
