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

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Applications, Artificial Intelligence, deep learning, Editors Pick, Machine Learning, Staff, Technology, Tutorials

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

From 15 hours to one minute: How AI/ML is speeding up GM’s development

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Artificial Intelligence, Cars, General Motors, GM, Machine Learning

When we met Sterling Anderson in 2024, he was the chief product officer of Aurora, the self-driving startup he cofounded in 2016 after several years at Tesla. Just over a year ago, though, Anderson decamped from the startup world for something a little more established, taking over as chief product officer at General Motors, the

The Transformer’s attention mechanism has barely changed since 2017. Most efficiency work has tried to replace softmax attention outright. A new paper takes a different route. It keeps softmax attention and bolts on a correction branch. A team of researchers from Northwestern University, Tilde Research, and University of Washington introduce a parameterized Local Linear Attention

How the Right Infrastructure Unlocks Better AML Engine Performance

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, cloud databases, Database, Finance, Fintech, Google Cloud SQL, Machine Learning, Oracle NoSQL Database

Many anti-money laundering (AML) engines underperform or generate excessive false positives because of the scale and complexity of modern financial data. These unsatisfactory results are typically not due to flawed detection logic but rather to insufficient supporting infrastructure. A variety of infrastructure limitations, such as weak data pipelines, limited compute scalability, poorly performing databases, and

NVIDIA Introduces X-Token: Projection-Guided Cross-Tokenizer KD That Outperforms GOLD by +3.82 Average Points on Llama-3.2-1B

agentic ai, ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), AI Paper Summary, AI Shorts, Applications, Artificial Intelligence, Editors Pick, Language Model, Large Language Model, Machine Learning, Staff, Tech News, Technology

Knowledge distillation (KD) transfers “dark knowledge” from a large teacher model to a smaller student. The student learns from the teacher’s full output probability distribution over tokens, not just correct answers. This is done via per-position Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence over next-token probability distributions. This formulation requires a shared tokenizer. A practitioner committed to Llama-3.2-1B cannot
