Jack Dorsey says AI must be permissionless because constraint kills innovation. Five CEOs shouldn't dictate what brings humanity forward. Open source is the answer. To protect ourselves, we have to race ahead. Eliminating single points of failure before they become…
KPOP is a new DL optimizer designed for large scale distributed training on Apple Silicon. KPOP uses a lot more memory but is more efficient per FLOP than AdamW, so it's a better fit for hardware with a high memory:flops ratio. Some hardware numbers: H100: 80GB, 1000TFLOPS…
This past spring, I spent time with the @exolabs team to work on a new DL optimizer and wiring up clusters of Macs for distributed TRAINING on Apple Silicon. If you’re at ICML, be sure to come by the @ESFoMo workshop (posters 1-2:30pm) this Saturday. I’ll be there to share some…

Time series data is everywhere – powering decisions in energy, finance/crypto, health, and more. Yet ironically, our most celebrated AI tools stumble on it. LLMs have captured the tech world’s imagination (and for good reason, they’re powerful and flexible). But they’re not a…
LLMs are amazing at a lot of things - but time series forecasting isn’t one of them. In Synthefy's latest blog post, we explain why token-based architectures aren’t inherently designed for real-world time series tasks - like forecasting energy demand, retail trends, or medical…
Expect VC rounds to inflate further, as founders now raise just to stay in the game.
Per Wired, Meta is poaching researchers with packages up to $300M over 4 years (with 1st yr comp >$100m), and that they've made 10 such offers to people at OpenAI. For context, this is roughly what Meta's execs get paid per year: • CFO: $23.5M • COO: $25.5M • CTO: $23.5M •…
