The new LiteRT NeuroPilot Accelerator from Google and MediaTek is a concrete step toward running real generative models on phones, laptops, and IoT hardware without shipping every request to a data center. It takes the existing LiteRT runtime and wires it directly into MediaTek’s NeuroPilot NPU stack, so developers can deploy LLMs and embedding models …

Interview: From CUDA to Tile-Based Programming: NVIDIA’s Stephen Jones on Building the Future of AI
As AI models grow in complexity and hardware evolves to meet the demand, the software layer connecting the two must also adapt. We recently sat down with Stephen Jones, a Distinguished Engineer at NVIDIA and one of the original architects of CUDA. Jones, whose background spans from fluid mechanics to aerospace engineering, offered deep insights …

From Transformers to Associative Memory, How Titans and MIRAS Rethink Long Context Modeling
What comes after Transformers? Google Research is proposing a new way to give sequence models usable long term memory with Titans and MIRAS, while keeping training parallel and inference close to linear. Titans is a concrete architecture that adds a deep neural memory to a Transformer style backbone. MIRAS is a general framework that views …

Cisco Released Cisco Time Series Model: Their First Open-Weights Foundation Model based on Decoder-only Transformer Architecture
Cisco and Splunk have introduced the Cisco Time Series Model, a univariate zero shot time series foundation model designed for observability and security metrics. It is released as an open weight checkpoint on Hugging Face under an Apache 2.0 license, and it targets forecasting workloads without task specific fine tuning. The model extends TimesFM 2.0 …

A Coding Implementation of a Complete Hierarchical Bayesian Regression Workflow in NumPyro Using JAX-Powered Inference and Posterior Predictive Analysis
In this tutorial, we explore hierarchical Bayesian regression with NumPyro and walk through the entire workflow in a structured manner. We start by generating synthetic data, then we define a probabilistic model that captures both global patterns and group-level variations. Through each snippet, we set up inference using NUTS, analyze posterior distributions, and perform posterior …

Google Colab Integrates KaggleHub for One Click Access to Kaggle Datasets, Models and Competitions
Google is closing an old gap between Kaggle and Colab. Colab now has a built in Data Explorer that lets you search Kaggle datasets, models and competitions directly inside a notebook, then pull them in through KaggleHub without leaving the editor. What Colab Data Explorer actually ships? Kaggle announced the feature recently where they describe …

How We Learn Step-Level Rewards from Preferences to Solve Sparse-Reward Environments Using Online Process Reward Learning
In this tutorial, we explore Online Process Reward Learning (OPRL) and demonstrate how we can learn dense, step-level reward signals from trajectory preferences to solve sparse-reward reinforcement learning tasks. We walk through each component, from the maze environment and reward-model network to preference generation, training loops, and evaluation, while observing how the agent gradually improves …
