🤖 AI MODELS
🎯 Inference speed optimization • Hardware performance comparisons • Model quality and robustness
💬 "a faster speculator (also known as the draft model) proposes multiple tokens ahead, and the target model verifies them in parallel in a single forward passTIL"
• "a 4x speed-up, Together will give us at least 2x lower price for top-end models"

"Parallel scaling has emerged as a powerful paradigm to enhance reasoning
capabilities in large language models (LLMs) by generating multiple
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) traces simultaneously. However, this approach introduces
significant computational inefficiency due to inter-trace redundancy -- our

🤖 AI MODELS
"TL;DR: The ChatGPT UI isn’t less “smart” than the API — but the UI has a hidden system prompt that tells the model: “be concise, safe, and friendly.” That cuts both the *reasoning tokens* and the *length* of the answer. The API doesn’t add that layer, so with your own system prompt you get longer, m..."
🎯 OpenAI API Usage • Model Prompt Tuning • Accessing Model Internals
💬 "Just ask the AI for python code, and you can run it in your terminal or command window"

"Large Language Models (LLMs) have gained popularity in recent years, driving
up the demand for inference. LLM inference is composed of two phases with
distinct characteristics: a compute-bound prefill phase followed by a
memory-bound decode phase. To efficiently serve LLMs, prior work proposes
prefi..."

"Hi everyone,
I've been exploring how discrete diffusion models can be applied to text generation and put together a single annotated Jupyter Notebook that implements a character-level discrete diffusion GPT.
It's based on Andrej Karpathy’s baby GPT from his [nanoGPT](

"I am looking for a few people to test TraceML, an open-source tool that shows GPU/CPU/memory usage live during training. It is for spotting CUDA OOMs and inefficiency.
It works for single-GPU fine-tuning and tracks activation + gradient peaks, per-layer memory, and step timings (forward/backward/o..."

"Benchmarks are central to measuring the capabilities of large language models
and guiding model development, yet widespread data leakage from pretraining
corpora undermines their validity. Models can match memorized content rather
than demonstrate true generalization, which inflates scores, distorts..."

"Scenario: Assuming I have the Phi 4 14b model hosted on a A100 40GB machine, and I can run it for a single data. If i have 1 million legal text documents, what is the best way to scale the inference such that I can process the 1 million text (4000 million words) and extract information out of it?"
🎯 Optimizing LLM Inference • Parallelizing Requests • Leveraging Vector Databases
💬 "tune the context length of vllm in line with the requests you're making to maximize KV storage"
• "vLLM pre allocates a certain number of slots to hold KV cache based on the configured content length"
🎓 EDUCATION
🎯 Prompt engineering • Model interpretability • LLM limitations

"Vision language models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed as controllers with
access to external tools for complex reasoning and decision-making, yet their
effectiveness remains limited by the scarcity of high-quality multimodal
trajectories and the cost of manual annotation. We address this challenge..."
🏥 HEALTHCARE
