Ex-NVIDIA engineer who built Unsloth explained RL, kernels, reasoning, quantization, and agents in 2 hours 42 minutes - better than $5000 fine-tuning bootcamps.
pick the base model -> write triton kernels for 2x faster fine-tune -> quantize to 4-bit -> run GRPO/DPO -> ship a reasoning model on your single GPU.
That loop is why Unsloth is the default way to fine-tune Llama, Qwen, Gemma, and Phi on hardware you already own.
Unsloth + Triton kernels + 4-bit quantization + GRPO/DPO + single-GPU fine-tuning - that's the stack.
Watch and save it, then fine-tune your first model tonight.
Introducing Sparse Delta Memory (SDM) - The first work of my PhD 🎓.
SDM combines the GatedDeltaNet update with Product Key sparsity, enabling a recurrent state 3000x larger at the same FLOPs and significantly improving long-context performance.
Let RNNs be sparse!
I’m glad the Bun rewrite blog post focused mostly on the methodology of the port! It’s a good post! Good work @jarredsumner.
My favorite part is the little detail about the importance of clean context agents for doing different tasks to avoid biases. I’ve found this is a good reason to not use a single long auto compacting coding session for both build and final verify.
On the cost, I think $165,000 at API pricing for Fable (didn’t verify) is an incredible deal. There’s absolutely no way an engineer with that salary would’ve been able to achieve the milestones Claude did in 11 days. No way. (Even if you break it down to N engineers paid $165K total in 11 days it doesn’t math out)
This does, however, also reconfirm my own biases which is that Fable in particular is most excellent at hard, focused tasks with clear reward functions. I’ve been tweeting about this recently.
I would absolutely use Fable for this.
Spending over a decade in the Go community and i think its one of the best examples avoiding this type of behavior. Leadership was obviously always opinionated on language and way of running a project, but very technical driven and never engaging in comparison competitions. 16 years of blog posts all about technical decisions, releases and things you actually care about as a user of the language.

I think this benefited Go in terms of driving adoption.

here are 6 habits to run Fable 5 more efficiently and cheaper
Fable 5 is the best model I've run, but it's pricey, around 2x opus.
to use it effectively, you should be routing tasks, use it for the small slice of work that needs the horsepower and run the rest on cheaper models.
and effort matters as much as the model. Fable 5 on low can match older models on high, for less.
when you do use it, these are the habits that get a lot more out of it. (referenced from Nate Herk´s video)
1. give it the why, not just the task
tell it what the work is for. it connects the request to the right context instead of guessing.
2. say what not to do
these are prediction engines, they drift. spell out the lines you don't want it crossing.
3. let it act, dont make it over-plan
long research-then-plan cycles burn time and tokens on high effort. give it enough and let it move.
4. force verification
dont ask is this done. tell it to point to the proof, only report what it can show evidence for. thats how you stop double-checking everything.
5. say less
if your context and tools are set up, short clean instructions steer it better than long rule lists. It doesn't need the essay.
6. don't ask it to explain its reasoning
this one is specific to fable 5. asking it to reveal its thinking can trip a safety check that quietly reroutes you to a weaker model.
that last one ties to a gotcha worth knowing. fable 5 runs a safety check before it answers, and on anything that reads sensitive it can silently hand the task to opus 4.8. in the app you might not notice, on the api you get a signal.
so treat the best model like a specialist. route to it for the hard 10% tasks, feed it the why, make it prove its work, and keep your prompts short
Highly-recommended read from MIT on the part of RL with verifiable rewards that everyone keeps hitting.
RLVR only optimizes what you can objectively score, so style, structure, and diversity quietly collapse and reward hacking creeps in. The fix here adds an adversarial discriminator trained on human demonstrations, which acts as a learned proxy for the human output distribution.
The generator maximizes both task accuracy and the discriminator's human-likeness signal, so verifiable rewards and imitation of humans get optimized together.
Why does it matter?
Across bug fixing, story generation, and a reward-hacking benchmark, this preserves RLVR's accuracy gains while restoring the fuzzy properties it usually destroys. Bug fixes come out with much lower edit distance, stories score higher win rates and stay diverse, and misbehavior nearly disappears.
