🎯 Text diffusion principles • Generating coherent text • Improving text diffusion models
💬 "One of my stumbling blocks with text diffusers is that ideally you wouldn't treat the tokens as discrete"
• "It feels like it would make more sense to allow the model to do Levenshtein-like edits instead of just masking and filling in"

Alibaba Cloud GPU pooling system reduces Nvidia use
2x SOURCES 🌐📅 2025-10-20
⚡ Score: 8.4
+++ Alibaba Cloud's multi-model serving system supposedly cuts H20 requirements by 82 percent, suggesting either remarkable efficiency gains or that we've been catastrophically wasteful with our AI infrastructure. +++
🎯 China's technological innovation • Resource efficiency in AI inference • Alternatives to NVIDIA GPUs
💬 "The overall outcome for us all may be increase efficiency as a result of this forced innovation"
• "17.7 per cent of GPUs allocated to serve only 1.35 per cent of requests in Alibaba Cloud's marketplace"
💬 "The big LLM-based rerankers are what you always wanted your cross-encoder to be"
• "We found users had very poor queries, so we initially had the LLM generate synthetic queries"
🎯 Vision-text compression • OCR accuracy and granularity • Improving OCR with LLMs
💬 "Our work represents an initial exploration into the boundaries of vision-text compression"
• "Why does this work, is it that text tokens are still too granular /repetitive and don't come close to the ideal entropy coding?"
🎯 Using AI for software testing • Comparing AI-based testing approaches • Concerns about using AI services for testing
💬 "I have created a simple .sh command to do the testing using browser-use"
• "MCPs are deterministic, SKILLS.md isn't. Also run.js can run arbitrarily generated Node.js code."
"With a little help of Claude Code, I shipped an implementation of Stanford's "Agentic Context Engineering" paper: agents that improve by learning from their own execution.

🎯 Token usage • Compute cost • Reasoning ability
💬 "estimated number of generated tokens is Nmcmc * max seq len squared"
• "it's not the same as reasoning, it's a different method of spending compute"
+++ Anthropic quietly shipped Claude Code to web and iOS, letting Pro/Max subscribers watch an AI write code in real time. The research preview is either a productivity leap or expensive autocomplete, depending on your debugging skills. +++
🎯 Debt financing for AI companies • Relationship-based banking strategies • Bankruptcy and recovery rates
💬 "Banks don't think about their relationship with a multi-billion-dollar company in terms of the ROI on a single revolving credit."
• "Debt is senior to equity."

"Large language models (LLMs) for code rely on subword tokenizers, such as
byte-pair encoding (BPE), learned from mixed natural language text and
programming language code but driven by statistics rather than grammar. As a
result, semantically identical code snippets can be tokenized differently
