Model cards report quality under server-class, full-precision conditions. Those numbers rarely predict how the same model behaves on a phone. This week, Liquid AI released Pipette. It is an open-source platform for benchmarking foundation models on edge devices, built in partnership with Artificial Analysis as an independent methodology validator. Pipette treats on-device behavior as a […]

Training and serving frontier models is now a networking problem as much as a compute problem. Collective operations like all-reduce and all-to-all synchronize thousands of accelerators during training, and the slowest transfer sets the pace for the entire job. Even small amounts of network friction directly strand significant compute capacity. This week, Meta introduced MetaRoCE.

Mathematicians are raising concerns that the technology could kill their profession. But they still have abilities AI doesn’tEarlier this month, about 40 top mathematicians gathered at OpenAI’s offices to discuss the future of their profession. The meeting was off-the-record, but if recent articles by mathematicians are any guide, it was mostly pretty glum. People fear

Although mobiles blared in public are nothing new, this crop of headphone-dodging irritants are truly maddening. It’s time to take them on‘Interesting cities can’t be quiet”, runs one of grime DJ and music industry thinker Elijah’s epigrams – and in its essential spirit, he is right. Silent, tidy, prim cities should be treated with suspicion.
