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,
In this tutorial, we use zeroentropy/zerank-2-reranker, a 4B Qwen3-based cross-encoder reranker, to improve retrieval quality. We start by setting up the runtime, loading the reranker, and understanding how it scores query-document pairs. Then, we move from simple pairwise scoring to a practical two-stage retrieve-and-rerank pipeline, where a fast bi-encoder first retrieves candidates and zerank-2 reranks

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

The country is positioning itself as Latin America’s next technology hub, but communities are pushing backThe Andes mountains frame what was once a wetland – now a stretch of dry, yellowed grass. Rodrigo Vallejos, a final-year law student, noticed the change five years ago while observing the Quilicura wetland, on the northern outskirts of Santiago.

The content creators behind channels like Chloe VS History are using AI tools to ‘bring history to life in a really visceral way’“I have just arrived in Tudor London, 1536,” a young woman in a green puffer jacket tells the camera. “I’m going to check in at my room in the inn, get into the
Recent college grads are not very fond of commencement speakers hyping up a technology they see as a threat to their career prospectsWhen Jacob Pagel graduated from Middle Tennessee State University this spring, predictions about artificial intelligence already had him questioning the value of his degree. Then a music executive started preaching about AI’s transformative
