  • Patent number: 12769937
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for reducing computer power consumption and speeding system response times by dynamically generating and deploying one or more small language models (SLMs) to facilitate automated interactions with users. A context is derived for a chat session based on an utterance submitted by the user and other contextual information associated with the chat session. A SLM is generated specifically for the chat session based on the context. The SLM can be generated by extracting one or more portions of an internal structure of a large language model (LLM), or by merging two or more pre-generated SLMs. The SLM is deployed to generate content for the chat session. When it is detected that the context has changed, the SLM can be updated by incorporating additional parameters from the LLM to continue facilitating automated interactions with the user during the chat session.

  • Patent number: 12743683
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a framework for facilitating token sharing with contract issuers based on processing of smart contract transactions. The framework provides a mechanism for allowing one or more computer nodes within a blockchain network to opt-in to a token sharing agreement with a contract issuer and a mechanism for an opted-in computer node to share tokens with the contract issuer in a decentralized manner. When a computer node has opted-in to the token sharing agreement, the computer node, by executing a smart contract, performs a set of computer procedures that is non-productive to the processing of the smart contract transaction. The execution of the set of non-productive computer procedures provides an additional amount of processing fee based on the processing of the smart contract transaction. The computer node then transfers a portion of the additional amount of processing fee to an account of the contract issuer as part of the processing of the smart contract.
