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

Anthropic has never published a technical paper on Claude Mythos. That has not stopped the research community from theorizing. A new open-source project called OpenMythos, released on GitHub by Kye Gomez, attempts something ambitious: a first-principles theoretical reconstruction of what the Claude Mythos architecture might actually be, built entirely in PyTorch and grounded in peer-reviewed

Tabular data—structured information stored in rows and columns—is at the heart of most real-world machine learning problems, from healthcare records to financial transactions. Over the years, models based on decision trees, such as Random Forest, XGBoost, and CatBoost, have become the default choice for these tasks. Their strength lies in handling mixed data types, capturing

In this tutorial, we build a workflow that combines Magika’s deep-learning-based file type detection with OpenAI’s language intelligence to create a practical and insightful analysis pipeline. We begin by setting up the required libraries, securely connecting to the OpenAI API, and initializing Magika to classify files directly from raw bytes rather than relying on filenames

Quantum computing has spent years living in the future tense. Hardware has improved, research has compounded, and venture dollars have followed — but the gap between a quantum processor running in a lab and one running a real-world application remains stubbornly wide. NVIDIA moved to close that gap with the launch of NVIDIA Ising, the
