Apple taught an LLM to predict tokens up to 5x faster in math and coding tasks

A new research paper from Apple details a technique that speeds up large language model responses, while preserving output quality. Here are the details. The nerdy bits Traditionally, LLMs generate text one token at a time. This is slow because each step depends on all the previous ones to keep the output coherent and accurate.

First-Ever Look at Exploding Molecules Reveals Their Quantum Secrets

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-04 02:05:43

In the quantum world, molecules are always on the move. And for the first time ever, scientists have directly captured these tiny quantum dances in action—and they did so by blowing them up real good. Even at absolute zero, individual particles constantly vibrate without a fixed position, a phenomenon referred to as zero-point motion. In a paper published August 7 in Science, researchers at European XFEL harnessed this behavior for the 2-iodopyridine molecule, which consists of 11 atoms. By bla

OpenAI unveiled its latest generative AI model, GPT-5, on Thursday. CEO Sam Altman says that ChatGPT is now like having a “superpower” and the equivalent of “a legitimate PhD-level expert in anything, any area you need, on demand, that can help you with whatever your goals are.” But after a day of playing around with it, many people are disappointed. Not only because GPT-5 still fumbles basic questions, but because it seems to be breaking a lot of workflows, according to complaints posted to Red

How attention sinks keep language models stable

news.ycombinator.com Guangxuan Xiao 2025-12-03 22:53:10

We discovered why language models catastrophically fail on long conversations: when old tokens are removed to save memory, models produce complete gibberish. We found models dump massive attention onto the first few tokens as "attention sinks"—places to park unused attention since softmax requires weights to sum to 1. Our solution, StreamingLLM, simply keeps these first 4 tokens permanently while sliding the window for everything else, enabling stable processing of 4 million+ tokens instead of j

Sam said yesterday that chatgpt handles ~700M weekly users. Meanwhile, I can't even run a single GPT-4-class model locally without insane VRAM or painfully slow speeds. Sure, they have huge GPU clusters, but there must be more going on - model optimizations, sharding, custom hardware, clever load balancing, etc. What engineering tricks make this possible at such massive scale while keeping latency low? Curious to hear insights from people who've built large-scale ML systems.

HRT's Python fork: Leveraging PEP 690 for faster imports
