Hot French startup ZML releases free product to speed inference across lots of AI chips https://t.co/LJZeQLOTRi

[Steeve Morin @steeve]

We're releasing ZML/LLMD, our homegrown LLM server built on top of our homegrown high performance heterogeneous inference stack.

It ships with 5 architectures out of the box: NVIDIA, AMD, Metal, Intel and TPU. All transparent.

It supports DFlash, continuous batching, prefix caching, the whole deal.

Oh, and it's fast.

Made a backend for Dear ImGui for Sega Dreamcast.

I can’t believe it works.

Sadly, I don’t have a mouse/keyboard for the Dreamcast, but once I do, it’s going to make this thing even more incredible. 😂

We sat down with @ylecun for a 1h30 discussion on world models @medjawii and JB Kempf of @videolan/@FFmpeg.

It's probably the deepest technical discussion on the subject ever recorded. And we added English subtitles.

Here's my conversation all about @FFmpeg, the legendary open-source software powering most video on the Internet. In the episode, I talk with Jean-Baptiste Kempf and Kieran Kunhya. JB is lead developer of VLC and Kieran is FFmpeg contributor, codec engineer, and the person behind the now-infamous @FFmpeg account on X.

VLC (@videolan), by the way, is also a legendary piece of open-source software: it's a video player that can open basically anything & has been downloaded over 6 billion times.

I think both FFmpeg and VLC are two of the most important and impactful software systems ever created, both open source, and both created & maintained by volunteers: brilliant engineers from all walks of life.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to FFmpeg and VLC, and in general to all engineers giving their heart & soul to building systems used by millions (or billions) of people, and often doing so not for money, status, or fame, but purely for the love of building great software and doing good for the world.

Thank you to the builders! 🙏❤️

Shoutouts in this chat to @ID_AA_Carmack @karpathy @elonmusk @TimSweeneyEpic and everyone who is a contributor & fan of open source!

It's here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).

4 mois après le lancement, A La French est maintenant la 1ère émission tech francophone. Manifestement notre certaine idée de la tech est partagée par beaucoup.

Merci à vous tous qui prenez le temps de nous regarder chaque semaine❤️
