Zyphra ZYFA: FP8 FlashAttention for AMD MI355X, Up to 1.76x Faster

Zyphra has released ZYFA (Zyphra FlashAttention on AMD), a set of FP8 and BF16 prefill attention kernels for AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs. ZYFA is Zyphra’s FP8 attention engine for long-context prefill, and the code is open source under Apache 2.0. On real model activations, its FP8 kernels run 1.16-1.76x faster than AITER, AMD’s default kernel

Google AI Research Releases Agile Deliberation Framework for Gray-Area Image Classifiers

Google Research has released Agile Deliberation, a human-in-the-loop framework for building image classifiers around subjective concepts. Think ‘healthy food’, ‘inspiring artwork’ or clickbait in content moderation. Most tooling assumes users already know the concept boundary. Agile Deliberation assumes they do not, and helps them find it. TL;DR Framework: It prompts Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini

Anthropic Releases FlashProve: Cryptographic Proofs That a Reply Came From Committed Weights

Anthropic’s Frontier Red Team has released FlashProve, an open-source research prototype for provable inference. FlashProve is a zkSNARK system from Anthropic that proves a reply came from a committed model. The proof reveals nothing about the model weights. On Llama 4 Maverick, a 400B mixture-of-experts model, it proves about 110 tokens/second on 1 H100. For

Zyphra AI Introduces Zyphra Hierarchical Attention (ZHA): A Path to True Subquadratic Attention

Zyphra has released Zyphra Hierarchical Attention (ZHA), a sparse attention method built around a tree-structured indexer. ZHA targets a known gap in sparse attention: the indexer that picks tokens still scans the whole context. Zyphra’s technical paper shows ZHA can be distilled into frozen pretrained models with about 4B tokens. On Qwen3.6-35B-A3B it stays close

NVIDIA Releases Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe: An Open 30B MoE Model for 40-Language Transcription with ~4B Active Parameters

NVIDIA has released Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe, an open-weights speech LLM built for transcription. One model handles 40 languages and recordings up to 1 hour. A text instruction picks the output style for each request. Options include verbatim, written form, speaker-attributed, contextual and translated output. For developers, it can replace separate ASR, diarization and alignment tools.

Polymathic AI and Princeton Researchers Release FlashMap, a Flow Map Drafter for 6.14x Faster LLM Decoding

Researchers from Polymathic AI, Princeton University, USC ISI, NYU and the Flatiron Institute have released FlashMap. FlashMap speculative decoding replaces the discrete diffusion drafter with a continuous flow map. It drafts a full 16-token block in 1 forward pass. Tokens in that block stay consistent with each other. On Qwen3-8B, the research team reports up

Meet LEANN: An Open-Source Vector Index that Shrinks a 60M-Chunk RAG Index from 201 GB to 6 GB

UC Berkeley’s Sky Computing Lab built LEANN, an open-source vector index that stores almost no embeddings. The LEANN vector index recomputes embeddings at query time instead of saving them to disk. The repo benchmark shows a 60 million chunk Wikipedia index dropping from 201 GB to 6 GB. The research paper won the Best Research

Nanbeige Releases Nanbeige4.3-33B, a 33B Open Agentic Coding Model

Nanbeige LLM Lab has released Nanbeige4.3-33B on Hugging Face under the Apache 2.0 license. Nanbeige4.3-33B is a 33B dense language model built for agentic coding and office-style ‘cowork’ tasks. The lab sits inside the recruitment platform BOSS Zhipin. It also published Nanbeige4.3-33B-Base for custom post-training. The model supports a 524,288-token context window. In the lab’s

Researchers from Stanford and UC Berkeley Introduce TokenGate: Token-Gated Attention Makes Long-Context Prefill Up to 11.3x Faster

Stanford and UC Berkeley researchers released TokenGate, a module for long-context prefill. TokenGate learned token pruning lets an existing LLM skim its input. Only the tokens that matter get full processing. The research team reports 1.4x to 11.3x faster time-to-first-token (TTFT) with no accuracy loss. Peak prefill memory drops 1.5x to 3.4x. Code and checkpoints

NVIDIA Releases Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B 4GB: An Open Small Language Model for Local Voice Agents, Game Characters and Robots

NVIDIA has just released Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B 4GB, an open small language model for fast conversational agents. It targets voice assistants, game NPCs and robot interfaces running locally on RTX, Jetson and Spark hardware. The model is post-trained from Google’s Gemma 4 E4B using reinforcement learning only. For developers, this is agent behavior in
