Reflex Open Sources XY: A Rust-Backed Super-Fast Python Charting Library That Keeps 100 Million Point Charts Interactive

Reflex AI has released XY, an Apache-2.0 Python charting library for interactive 2D visualization. Most Python charting stacks create one drawable object per row, so past a few hundred thousand points, render, hover, and zoom degrade. XY moves the work into a native Rust core, sends the browser typed binary buffers instead of JSON, and […]

How to Secure AI Agents, MCP Servers, and LLM Apps in Production

Agents, MCP integrations, and LLM-powered applications are entering codebases faster than most security programs can track them. Mend.io’s new practitioner guide, ‘Securing AI agents, MCP servers & LLM apps: A practical framework’, targets that gap. It is organized around three moves: see what matters, fix what matters faster, protect AI in production and ships seven

How to Build Memory-Efficient Transformers with xFormers Using Packed Sequences, GQA, ALiBi, SwiGLU, and Causal Attention

In this tutorial, we implement xFormers: a practical toolkit for building fast, memory-efficient Transformer models on GPUs. We begin by validating memory-efficient attention against a standard attention implementation, then compare their speed and memory consumption across different sequence lengths. We then examine causal masking, packed variable-length sequences, grouped-query attention, and custom ALiBi positional biases. Finally,

A Coding Implementation on MONAI for End-to-End 3D Spleen Segmentation Using UNet on Medical CT Volumes

In this tutorial, we build an end-to-end 3D medical image segmentation pipeline using MONAI to segment the spleen on the Medical Segmentation Decathlon Task09 dataset. We work with volumetric CT scans, apply medical imaging transformations such as orientation alignment, voxel-spacing normalization, intensity windowing, foreground cropping, and patch-based sampling, and then train a 3D UNet model

Aviva deploys AI to stop £230M in sophisticated insurance fraud

Aviva has uncovered a record £230 million in insurance fraud claims and is using AI tools to counter the growing problem. The battleground has changed, and the culprits are also coming armed with a new generation of tools. We’re now in an environment where AI is being used not just to defend against fraud, but

How to Speed Up Transformer Training Using NVIDIA Apex (FusedAdam, FusedLayerNorm) and Native torch.amp

In this tutorial, we work through an implementation of NVIDIA Apex, focusing on the components that still matter in modern GPU training workflows. Instead of treating Apex as a general mixed-precision library, we separate the older parts from the still-useful ones and test them directly. We begin by checking the CUDA runtime, building Apex with

China’s AI just mapped its entire renewable energy grid. Here’s why the rest of the world should pay attention

Every major economy is staring at the same problem right now. Artificial intelligence is consuming electricity at a pace that grids were never designed to handle. In the US, capacity market prices in PJM, the country’s largest grid operator, have risen more than tenfold in two years, with data-centre growth identified as a primary driver.

Nous Research Proposes Lighthouse Attention: A Training-Only Selection-Based Hierarchical Attention That Delivers 1.4–1.7× Pretraining Speedup at Long Context

Training large language models on long sequences has a well-known problem: attention is expensive. The scaled dot-product attention (SDPA) at the core of every transformer scales quadratically Θ(N²) in both compute and memory with sequence length N. FlashAttention addressed this through IO-aware tiling that avoids materializing the full N×N attention matrix in high-bandwidth memory, reducing
