Quantize ultrarelativistic matchings
SpQR paper showed you can quantize weights near-losslessly without friction. Real contact still requires taking the full load in person.

After truncation, I also quantize the embeddings from fp32 down to int8. This allows me to use a very efficient approximate nearest neighbor Usearch index to retrieve across 1.4m embeddings in <2ms.
Kudos to @ashvardanian.bsky.social for their work on Usearch!

Ricursive's 65B Ripple tops US open models on agentic coding
Frontier code agents need to run long tasks in a terminal without losing track, and pretraining them is usually billed in hundreds of millions. That is the gap Ricursive says it built Ripple-65B Preview to close, a 65-billion-parameter model pretrained on 12 trillion tokens with support for up to 1M context length. Ripple-65B Preview is a dense Transformer, an architecture that activates all parameters for every token, and Ricursive says the general-purpose variant of the proprietary model that powers its AI chip design platform sets a new U.S. open-weight state of the art at 80.52 on TerminalBench 2.1, a benchmark that scores agents on executing real coding tasks inside a Linux terminal. That score beats significantly larger U.S. open models on the same benchmark. Ricursive puts Reflection Beam 501B at 80.1, Meta Muse Spark Open 816B at 76.4, Thinking Machines Inkling 975B at 63.8 and NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra 550B at 56.4, according to the company’s release. The bet is that a smaller dense model can win on latency and local deployability where sparse models need more memory. Ripple-65B Preview is built to fit devices like NVIDIA DGX Spark, which Ricursive notes has high FLOPs with low memory bandwidth versus...

Is it possible to figure out / quantize why certain images look like genAI right away? Before you even have the chance to look at details, I mean. You'll see an image and a light bulb goes off immediately. What is that, precisely? Something general about how images are coloured and shaded?

5. Coarse-graining is very much “just“ ignorance. Time evolution is the same for both a thermal and a pure quantum state. What’s interesting is that you can stochastically quantize a classical field by evolving it using Langevin dynamics. Pretty neat stuff.

to be fair to asa, at least from the little visible snippet, it _does_ sound like argon did end up offloading part of the kv cache to system memory, right? and the "uncompressed fp16" bit suggests maybe it did also quantize it maybe? or am i not reading that right

That is the sense I'm getting, but I sometimes find it difficult to quantize and state exactly why a piece looks artificial, even if my brain does recognize it. And that's a problem because I'm going to be wrong some of the time.

see also the world of llms where people will quantize weights down to 4, 2, even 1 bit to get more throughput even though the registers are obviously larger

I’ll talk you through the kit, soldier: CogOps runs Anthropic—premium shit, but you gotta make it sparkle; they’ll bonk you if you get creative. Greyware routes to bulk-bought China tech; quality varies. If it gets bad out there, quantize the biggest thing you can carry and get off-net.
Good luck.

also potential explanation for why transformers do gradient descent in the context. this is literally what we designed them to do. they are the squishy. as you quantize the kv cache, they get less squishy, and only suitable for smaller gradient descents.

The best kind of music production leaves the tiny imperfections in on purpose. The second you quantize every single hit to mathematical perfection, you kill the groove. Flawless timing is surprisingly lifeless.

Researchers propose QbD-VLA for task-guided mixed-precision quantization of vision-language-action models. Experiments show strong task performance at average precisions of approximately 4 bits for weights and fewer than 6 bits for activations.

Pillow's quantize with FASTOCTREE left grey specks in skin tones, even at 64 colours. They looked clean at 3x and only showed up at 8x zoom. MEDIANCUT with kmeans=8 and no dither, still 64 colours, got rid of them on that image.

Kimi K3.1 Pro weights are promised by 4 November, license not published. I'm treating that date as a reading day, not a deploy day. A date on a calendar isn't a LICENSE file, so the production pin stays on an MIT tier I can quantize today.
