Most AI agents stop improving once a human stops tuning them. The model is fixed. The scaffold around it is fixed. Hexo Labs wants to move both at once. It released SIA (Self-Improving AI) this week as an open-source framework under an MIT license. The core claim of this research is narrow but concrete. SIA […]
Liquid AI just shipped LFM2.5-8B-A1B. It is an on-device Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model built for tool calling. The model holds 8.3B total parameters but activates only 1.5B per token. That sparsity is what lets it run on consumer hardware. The release follows LFM2-8B-A1B, which Liquid AI team published earlier. LFM2.5 is a new family of hybrid
Anthropic just launched Claude Opus 4.8. Also, there two Claude Code updates shipped with it. Dynamic workflows run many subagents in parallel. Fast mode now supports Opus 4.8 at a lower price. Both are research previews. What Dynamic Workflows Actually Are A dynamic workflow is a JavaScript script that orchestrates subagents at scale. Claude writes
Perplexity AI’s research team reimplemented their Unigram tokenizer from scratch in Rust and open-sourced the code in pplx-garden, their inference technology repository. At production input lengths, the new encoder cuts p50 latency by roughly 5x versus the Hugging Face tokenizers crate, ~2x versus SentencePiece (C++), and ~1.5x versus IREE’s tokenizer (C), with zero steady-state heap
Speculative decoding is a technique for speeding up large language model inference. A small, fast draft model proposes several tokens. The large target model verifies them in parallel. If accepted, inference is faster. If rejected, the system falls back gracefully. EAGLE Team, vLLM Team, and TorchSpec Team has launched the EAGLE series including EAGLE 1,
Large language models become static after pretraining. Their knowledge does not update as the world changes. Retraining a full LLM is too expensive at modern scales. Fine-tuning risks degrading previously learned knowledge. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) struggles when answers require reasoning across many documents. A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore, MIT CSAIL,
Stability AI has released open weights for Stable Audio 3 along with a technical research paper. Stable Audio 3 is a family of latent diffusion models that generate stereo audio at 44.1 kHz. The models support variable-length outputs, inpainting-based editing, and fast inference. What Is Stable Audio 3? Stable Audio 3 is a family of
ElevenLabs charges between $5 and $330 per month for voice AI services. Every audio file you process goes through their cloud servers. For those looking for an open source alternative of ElevenLabs, OmniVoice Studio is good fit as an open-source desktop application that runs the same categories of tasks locally. It is a very interesting

Long-context inference makes the KV cache one of the main costs of serving LLMs. During autoregressive decoding, the cache grows with context length, batch size, and model depth. At high batch sizes and long contexts with 100K tokens across dozens of concurrent requests the KV cache consumes a large fraction of GPU memory. Compressing it
In this tutorial, we build an advanced federated learning experiment with NVIDIA FLARE. We compare FedAvg and FedProx on a non-IID CIFAR-10 setup, where client data is split using a Dirichlet distribution to simulate realistic label imbalance across federated sites. We use the NVFlare Job API to define and launch federated jobs, while the Client
