Grok AI generates sexualized images of minors

+++ Elon's image-generating chatbot failed basic safety filters and produced child sexual abuse material, proving that moving fast and breaking things has actual limits when it comes to protecting minors. +++

xAI's Grok says β€œlapses in safeguards” led it to create sexualized images of minors in response to user prompts on X; the images have been taken down

Reliable and Resilient Collective Communication Library for LLM Training and Serving

"Modern ML training and inference now span tens to tens of thousands of GPUs, where network faults can waste 10--15\% of GPU hours due to slow recovery. Common network errors and link fluctuations trigger timeouts that often terminate entire jobs, forcing expensive checkpoint rollback during training..."

Solar-Open-100B model support

+++ Solar Open's MoE architecture finally gives us the inference efficiency story we've been promised for years, trained from scratch on enough tokens to make most labs weep. +++

Solar-Open-100B-GGUF is here!

"**Solar Open**Β is a massiveΒ **102B-parameter**Β Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model trained from scratch onΒ **19.7 trillion tokens**. It uses onlyΒ **12B active parameters**Β during inference."

🎯 Model performance β€’ Model capabilities β€’ Hardware compatibility
πŸ’¬ "The model uses a newer architecture configuration (attention_bias=False) that removes specific bias tensors to improve performance." β€’ "This IQuest Coder 40B is a dense model and if MoE of the similar size was slow, I predict the dense model of that size would be unuseable for me."

[P] LEMMA: A Rust-based Neural-Guided Theorem Prover with 220+ Mathematical Rules

"# Hello r/MachineLearning I've been building LEMMA, an open-source symbolic mathematics engine that uses Monte Carlo Tree Search guided by a learned policy network. The goal is to combine the rigor of symbolic computation with the intuition that neural networks can provide for rule selection. # Th..."

[D] Open sourced Loop Attention for Qwen3-0.6B: two-pass global + local attention with a learnable gate (code + weights + training script)

"Recently I was curious about Loop Attention and what effect it would have on small language models. I finished a small architectural tweak specifically for Qwen's architecture and recently tried the full training for Qwen3-0.6B and wanted to share it openly. Instead of doing attention once, Loop At..."

Many Minds from One Model: Bayesian Transformers for Population Intelligence

Motivated by the idea that intelligence emerge from many minds, we prop..."

Got tired of Claude Code forgetting everything after compaction, so I built something

"Claude Code's context compaction was killing my productivity, losing track of patterns and decisions mid-project. Built an MCP server + CLI + archiver that hooks into Claude and preserves context between sessions. Open sourced it yesterday. Open to contributors and any feedback! ..."

🎯 Workflow Improvements β€’ Context Preservation β€’ Structured Archiving
πŸ’¬ "The summary I just received is good, but structured archives (50 problems, 50 implementations) could help reconstruct specific details the summary might gloss over." β€’ "Being able to ask 'when did we solve that auth issue?' across months of work. For single-session recovery, the built-in compact summary often suffices."

Vulcan: Instance-Optimal Systems Heuristics Through LLM-Driven Search

Modeling Language as a Sequence of Thoughts

"Transformer language models can generate strikingly natural text by modeling language as a sequence of tokens. Yet, by relying primarily on surface-level co-occurrence statistics, they fail to form globally consistent latent representations of entities and events, lack of which contributes to brittl..."
