VLLM v0.25.0, released July 11, deletes the original PagedAttention implementation and makes Model Runner V2 the default execution backend for all dense models, delivering a 56% throughput improvement on Qwen3-0.6B. The …
Researchers from Google DeepMind and the University of Toronto have developed GenCeption, a method that repurposes a pre-trained video generative model into a single unified, feed-forward vision model capable of solving …
NVIDIA released the Nemotron 3 Embed collection of open embedding models, led by an 8B model that ranks #1 on the RTEB leaderboard with a score of 78.5%, alongside efficient 1B variants for production-scale retrieval. Th…
NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 Embed 1B embedding model took first place on every recall task in Zep's benchmark of 5,954 production queries, outperforming a 4B competitor with a third of the parameters and surpassing Zep's product…
A developer built Lexi-9-Omega, an AI engineering assistant that translates a sci-fi-inspired interface into practical software. The system operates in two layers—a narrative layer for identity and a technical layer for …
Dave Treadwell, a 27-year Microsoft veteran who helped build Windows, is now leading AWS's Compute and Machine Learning Services team at a moment when scaling AI compute is one of the most significant challenges in techn…
A developer published a guide on training a generative AI kick drum model using a diffusion-based approach on a Linux desktop with only 6GB VRAM, demonstrating that high-end hardware is not required for audio AI experime…
Neurologists at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in New York reported in a study published today in Nature Medicine that a man with quadriplegia, Keith Thomas, can now feed himself and drink from a cup using…
The machine translation industry is seeing convergence as translation AI companies launch their own TMS platforms, while TMSes add AI features. DeepL launched Translation Flow to connect enterprise apps like Google Drive…
A new Arduino library, OV7725_CPUfree_Camera, captures images from the OV7725 camera without using any CPU on the RP2350 microcontroller, achieving fixed 90 FPS streaming. By leveraging DMA and PIO automation, both CPU c…
AI agents are autonomously altering marketing budgets and audience targets in real-time, redefining how marketing teams operate by executing strategies that would take humans days. The convergence of machine learning and…
AT&T's AI-driven incident management system prevented 3.1 million unnecessary field dispatches and reduced customer downtime by 12 million hours in 2024, the company announced. The system, known as EEIM, evolved from tra…
AT&T built an end-to-end incident management system (EEIM) that reduced customer downtime by more than 12 million hours. The system, developed starting in 2017 using technologies from MongoDB and Snowflake, combines trad…
A developer forked the archived Kùzu graph database, adding vector search, LLM embeddings, and a full Graph Data Science suite to create Gorgonzola, aiming to make it the central engine for healthcare AI. The project int…
Pasteur Labs released Tesseract Core, a universal component framework for differentiable scientific computing that packages scientific software into self-contained, portable components capable of running across local mac…
