In my day-to-day work, I have spent countless hours optimizing model performance, only to confront a sobering reality: In 2026, the primary barrier to widespread AI adoption has shifted. While raw ...

Nvidia currently dominates the AI chip market, including for inference. AMD should take some share, helped by its deal with OpenAI. However, Broadcom looks like the biggest inference chip winner. The ...

Inference will take over for training as the primary AI compute moving forward. Broadcom has struck gold with its custom ASICs for AI hyperscalers. Arm Holdings should benefit immensely as inference ...

Lowering the cost of inference is typically a combination of hardware and software. A new analysis released Thursday by Nvidia details how four leading inference providers are reporting 4x to 10x ...

Interactive LLMs (chat, copilots, agents) with strict latency targets Long‑context reasoning (codebases, research, video) with massive KV (key value) cache footprints Ranking and recommendation models ...

Modal Labs, a startup specializing in AI inference infrastructure, is talking to VCs about a new round at a valuation of about $2.5 billion, according to four people with knowledge of the deal. Should ...

I hate Discord with the intensity of a supernova falling into a black hole. I hate its ungainly profusion of tabs and voice channels. I regret its cybersecurity breaches. I resent that the PRs use it ...

Abstract: This letter extends the exactly sparse Gaussian variational inference (ESGVI) algorithm for state estimation in two complementary directions. First, ESGVI is generalized to operate on matrix ...

Today, we’re proud to introduce Maia 200, a breakthrough inference accelerator engineered to dramatically improve the economics of AI token generation. Maia 200 is an AI inference powerhouse: an ...

The creators of the open source project vLLM have announced that they transitioned the popular tool into a VC-backed startup, Inferact, raising $150 million in seed funding at an $800 million ...
