A Coding Implementation on Microsoft’s Phi-4-Mini for Quantized Inference Reasoning Tool Use RAG and LoRA Fine-Tuning

In this tutorial, we build a pipeline on Phi-4-mini to explore how a compact yet highly capable language model can handle a full range of modern LLM workflows within a single notebook. We begin by setting up a stable environment, loading Microsoft’s Phi-4-mini-instruct in efficient 4-bit quantization, and then move step by step through streaming

OpenAI Scales Trusted Access for Cyber Defense With GPT-5.4-Cyber: a Fine-Tuned Model Built for Verified Security Defenders

Cybersecurity has always had a dual-use problem: the same technical knowledge that helps defenders find vulnerabilities can also help attackers exploit them. For AI systems, that tension is sharper than ever. Restrictions intended to prevent harm have historically created friction for good-faith security work, and it can be genuinely difficult to tell whether any particular

Moonshot AI and Tsinghua Researchers Propose PrfaaS: A Cross-Datacenter KVCache Architecture that Rethinks How LLMs are Served at Scale

For years, the way large language models handle inference has been stuck inside a box — literally. The high-bandwidth RDMA networks that make modern LLM serving work have confined both prefill and decode to the same datacenter, sometimes even the same rack. A team of researchers at Moonshot AI and Tsinghua University is making the
