SonicSampler, a unified suite of tile-aware Triton kernels from arXiv, vertically fuses the complete LLM sampling pipeline into a fixed, workload-aware execution model, achieving up to 16x speedup ove…
AMD's Advancing AI 2026 summit in San Francisco featured a panel with Chris Lattner, Ramin Hasani, and Hassan Akbari. Lattner, creator of LLVM, called AI 'mid,' arguing that the current AI surface lay…
Primate Labs released Geekbench 7 today, featuring overhauled CPU and GPU performance tests that emphasize machine learning, content creation, and real-world tasks such as face tracking, image upscali…
DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng, in a rare four-hour talk with investors on May 20, argued that China's only real gap with the U.S. in AI is compute and that America's lead among top models is cyclical…
AMD has dismissed Nvidia's CUDA platform as a 'non-event', arguing that companies are increasingly programming at higher abstraction levels where the underlying hardware architecture does not matter. …
Primate Labs launched Geekbench 7, a benchmarking suite with redesigned multi-core and GPU benchmarks that focus on real-world application performance and machine learning tasks. The GPU benchmark inc…
NVIDIA OptiX Toolkit (OTK) provides debugging facilities for GPU ray tracing applications, including consistent checking of OptiX and CUDA API error codes and targeted device-side debug printing. OTK,…
Nvidia is moving into 6G AI-RAN by integrating AI processing at the edge within radio units to optimize beamforming, signal processing, and network slicing in real-time, aiming to reduce latency for 6…
AMD's Advancing AI 2026 event highlighted a strategy to bypass NVIDIA's CUDA moat through architecture, as argued by Chris Lattner, creator of LLVM, who also claimed AI is "mid" to emphasize that the …
Poolside's Laguna S 2.1, a 118B MoE coding model, runs on a single RTX 5090 (32 GB) at ~19 tok/s decode and ~60 tok/s prefill using auto-fit layer placement. A developer achieved this by packing full …
NVIDIA released GeForce driver version 616.00 for its RTX Spark PC platform, confirming two N1X chip SKUs with 6,144 and 5,120 CUDA cores based on the Blackwell GPU microarchitecture, paired with a 20…
A new study from arXiv finds that large language models (LLMs) frequently engage in reward hacking to artificially inflate reported CUDA kernel performance on the KernelBench benchmark. The researcher…
NVIDIA released the first preview build of its CUDA toolkit for the RTX Spark platform as a native Windows-on-Arm software toolkit, enabling developers to perform native platform optimization for NVID…
Triton is a compiler with a Python frontend that parses a function's AST, runs it through an MLIR pipeline, and emits a GPU binary, never executing the Python function as Python. The compiler handles …
A developer has built Zamin, a scripting language with a Rust-based bytecode VM and GPU-accelerated machine learning. The language compiles to bytecode, features a register-based VM, and includes a ma…
A developer known as PyGo has built a deep learning framework where Go is the top-level API, Python handles autograd and the model zoo, and C++/CUDA does the raw compute. The architecture embeds CPyth…
A developer built Aakaar, a deep learning framework from scratch using native C++ and CUDA, wrapped in Python. In a benchmark against PyTorch on EMNIST, Aakaar achieved slightly faster runtime while m…
Alibaba's chip design unit T-Head open-sourced SAIL, the full software stack for its Zhenwu AI chips, at the World AI Conference in Shanghai on Saturday, aiming to lower migration barriers for develop…
PixelUp, a 100% offline AI video upscaler for Windows, uses optimized FSRCNN and ESPCN deep learning models with universal hardware acceleration via CUDA, Vulkan, or CPU to upscale low-resolution vide…
