An Implementation Guide to Running NVIDIA Transformer Engine with Mixed Precision, FP8 Checks, Benchmarking, and Fallback Execution

In this tutorial, we implement an advanced, practical implementation of the NVIDIA Transformer Engine in Python, focusing on how mixed-precision acceleration can be explored in a realistic deep learning workflow. We set up the environment, verify GPU and CUDA readiness, attempt to install the required Transformer Engine components, and handle compatibility issues gracefully so that […]

Meta AI Releases EUPE: A Compact Vision Encoder Family Under 100M Parameters That Rivals Specialist Models Across Image Understanding, Dense Prediction, and VLM Tasks

Running powerful AI on your smartphone isn’t just a hardware problem — it’s a model architecture problem. Most state-of-the-art vision encoders are enormous, and when you trim them down to fit on an edge device, they lose the capabilities that made them useful in the first place. Worse, specialized models tend to excel at one […]

AI is changing how small online sellers decide what to make

For years Mike McClary sold the Guardian LTE Flashlight, a heavy-duty black model, online through his small outdoor brand. The product, designed for brightness and durability, became one of his most popular items ever. Even after he stopped offering it around 2017, customers kept sending him emails asking where they could buy it.  When McClary…

RightNow AI Releases AutoKernel: An Open-Source Framework that Applies an Autonomous Agent Loop to GPU Kernel Optimization for Arbitrary PyTorch Models

Writing fast GPU code is one of the most grueling specializations in machine learning engineering. Researchers from RightNow AI want to automate it entirely. The RightNow AI research team has released AutoKernel, an open-source framework that applies an autonomous LLM agent loop to GPU kernel optimization for arbitrary PyTorch models. The approach is straightforward: give […]

Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins wants data centers in space

Today, I’m talking with Chuck Robbins, CEO of Cisco. Cisco is one of those big companies that everyone has heard of but that most of us don’t have to interact with very much; it’s not really a consumer brand. But all of us are in some way using Cisco’s products and services every day because […]

Iran threatens OpenAI’s Stargate data center in Abu Dhabi

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has published a video threatening OpenAI’s planned Abu Dhabi data center if the US follows through on threats to attack the country’s power plants, as reported earlier by Tom’s Hardware. The video, which was published to an Iranian state-backed news outlet’s X account on April 3rd, says the IRGC […]

How to Build a Netflix VOID Video Object Removal and Inpainting Pipeline with CogVideoX, Custom Prompting, and End-to-End Sample Inference

In this tutorial, we build and run an advanced pipeline for Netflix’s VOID model. We set up the environment, install all required dependencies, clone the repository, download the official base model and VOID checkpoint, and prepare the sample inputs needed for video object removal. We also make the workflow more practical by allowing secure terminal-style […]

Meet MaxToki: The AI That Predicts How Your Cells Age — and What to Do About It

Most foundation models in biology have a fundamental blind spot: they see cells as frozen snapshots. Give a model a single-cell transcriptome — a readout of which genes are active in a cell at a given moment — and it can tell you a lot about what that cell is doing right now. What it […]

Inside the Creative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stack: Where Human Vision and Artificial Intelligence Meet to Design Future Fashion

Fashion has always been about anticipation, determining what one would prefer to wear before they know it themselves. It’s meant in terms of intuition, presentation, experience, and the “good eye”. Today, it can be conveyed through algorithms, neural networks, and machine learning. Artificial Intelligence is no longer at the dregs, but very much at the […]

Meet ‘AutoAgent’: The Open-Source Library That Lets an AI Engineer and Optimize Its Own Agent Harness Overnight

There’s a particular kind of tedium that every AI engineer knows intimately: the prompt-tuning loop. You write a system prompt, run your agent against a benchmark, read the failure traces, tweak the prompt, add a tool, rerun. Repeat this a few dozen times and you might move the needle. It’s grunt work dressed up in […]
