Terence Tao's SAIR foundation is doing some really cool work on enabling AI4Maths to be open and collaborative

I'm heaps excited that we now get to work together on bringing projects like their Mathematics Distillation Challenge to the HF ecosystem. Let's go 🚀!

Thanks to @AI21Labs for tracking down a silent uint32 overflow in vLLM's Mamba-1 CUDA kernel and contributing the fix.
Root cause: `uint32_t` stride × cache_index overflows silently at scale. Fix merged in #35275. The debugging story is worth a read.

Dogs stolen from their owners in China walk 17km along a highway led by a corgi to get back home.

The dogs escaped a dog meat truck and walked along a highway in Changchun, Jilin before returning to their village.

@RNR_0 When you guys go on international vacations you will unfortunately be so much poorer than the people in your plane from Switzerland or US, or even working in London.

@chaotichermes Is this bravery or safety?

https://t.co/CAYpP1iK3i

And yes, Ultra is coming!

[Rabeeh Karimi @KarimiRabeeh]

Excited to share that Nemotron 3 Super is now released! 🚀

A 120B hybrid MoE model (12B active, 1M context) built for complex agentic systems and long-context reasoning.

Key innovations:
• LatentMoE + Hybrid MoE
• Multi-Token Prediction (MTP)
• NVFP4 pretraining

@0xSeco Unrealised shouldn't be taxed at all, that's an idiocy of a liquidity crisis waiting to happen. The rate itself should be consistent with whatever prevents opening BVs. Ideally NL should draw inspiration from Switzerland, lower taxes but better infrastructure

In today's episode of "Would You Please Just Look at the Data?"

Eric finds that in MMLU-Pro chemistry and physics subsets, blindly picking the answer that has a leading space is correct pretty often!

[Syeda Nahida Akter @__SyedaAkter]

Most LLMs learn to think only after pretraining—via SFT or RL. But what if they could learn to think during it? 🤔

Introducing RLP: Reinforcement Learning Pre-training—a verifier-free objective that teaches models to “think before predicting.”

🔥 Result: Massive reasoning boosts & gains that COMPOUND after post-training!

Produced by @welchlabs, this is the first in a small series of 3b1b this summer. I enjoyed providing editorial feedback throughout the last several months, and couldn't be happier with the result.

Official results are in - Gemini achieved gold-medal level in the International Mathematical Olympiad! 🏆 An advanced version was able to solve 5 out of 6 problems. Incredible progress - huge congrats to @lmthang and the team! https://t.co/pp9bXF7rVj

The French overseas territory St. Pierre et Miquelon (population 5,800) now has the highest tariff rates in the world at 99%

Their exports are valued at just $3.5 million dollars a year. My guess as to what happened here is that they likely export a tiny amount (like $100 k worth of lobsters) to America without importing anything in return. So the insane White House algorithm (trade deficit/imports) would have produced this insane 99% tariff figure.

So unbelievably stupid, incompetent and insane

[Jeff Dean @JeffDean]

We're using a ReLU to set tariffs?

AI models are *not* solving problems the way we think

using Docent, we find that Claude solves *broken* eval tasks - memorizing answers & hallucinating them!

we really need to look at our data harder, and it's time to rethink how we do evals...
