Autoregressive large language models generate text one token at a time. Each token waits for the one before it. This serial loop leaves modern GPUs underused and keeps inference slow. The cost grows worse with long Chain-of-Thought reasoning models. Their lengthy outputs make latency the dominant part of generation. Speculative decoding is the standard fix. […]
When workers had cameras attached to them, they found it funny at first. But novelty soon turned to concernThe first time the factory supervisors handed garment worker Lalita* a head-mounted camera, she burst out laughing. “The way people mount a CCTV camera on a wall, they mounted one on us,” she says.The 32-year-old had been
China’s LineShine debuts at number one in Top500 – a list sometimes viewed as a national measure of global tech prowessA supercomputer in China now outranks its US counterparts as the world’s most powerful.

Today, Mistral AI released OCR 4, its latest document-understanding model. This new release adds bounding boxes, block classification, and inline confidence scores alongside extracted text. It supports 170 languages across 10 language groups and runs in a single container for fully self-hosted deployments. OCR 4 also serves as an ingestion component for enterprise search, RAG,
Datalab has released lift, a 9B open-weights vision model for structured extraction. You pass it a JSON schema, and it returns a JSON object that matches. The model reads PDFs and images directly, then decodes against your schema. This is Datalab’s first model built purely for extraction. The team already ships open-source OCR tools: chandra,
In this tutorial, we build a speech recognition and translation workflow using NVIDIA Canary-1B-v2. We begin by setting up the required audio, NeMo, NumPy, and SciPy dependencies, then load the Canary model on a GPU-enabled runtime for efficient inference. From there, we prepare audio into a clean 16 kHz mono format, perform English ASR, translate
