Pathway challenges transformer dominance with Dragon Hatchling architecture

Pathway is developing Dragon Hatchling, a new language model architecture designed to overcome fundamental limitations of transformer-based systems. CEO Zuzanna Stamirowska explains how current large language models appear to retain information without truly internalizing learning, and how language-based reasoning creates inherent constraints. The startup's approach aims to provide AI with native memory, continual learning capabilities, and more abstract reasoning methods to address hallucinations, interpretability challenges, and computational demands.
