The design co-designs CKKS ciphertext packing with model execution using a feature-major cross-layer layout, so QK^T scores feed softmax directly and PV consumes probabilities with no intermediate repacking. Nonlinear ops use minimax polynomial approximation with joint error allocation guided by model quality. 366.4s and 58.9 GiB peak on a single H100 80GB against THOR's 1651.9s, claimed as the first open-source end-to-end GPU CKKS implementation of Llama-3.

Hugging Face published its Summer 2026 State of Open Models report on August 14, and one statistic in it went almost entirely unremarked in the coverage. By July 2026, agents rather than humans became the Hub's primary users. Claude Code alone accounted for 44.4% of all agent...
The NYT reported on July 17 that the June 2026 proposal is structured as monthly installments with an early-exit clause for either side, and would sit alongside Anthropic's existing $45B three-year SpaceX GPU deal from May. Meta fell about 6% intraday before closing down 2%. T...
A report on Zuckerberg's internal AI all-hands, including a meeting reportedly interrupted by an employee, surfaced confusion in Meta's direction (Wired). It adds to a run of stories questioning whether the Llama/superintelligence reorg has a coherent plan. For builders depend...
Meta formally pivoted from open-weight Llama to fully proprietary Muse Spark, its first model from the newly formed Meta Superintelligence Labs. No downloadable weights. No self-hosting. Cloud-only private API preview to select partners. More locked down than OpenAI or Anthrop...
Xiaomi released MiMo-V2.5-Pro, a 1.02 trillion parameter mixture-of-experts model (42B active) with 1M token context, fully MIT licensed. In benchmarks, it achieves 63.8% success on agentic tasks using 40-60% fewer tokens than Claude Opus 4.6 or GPT-5.4 for comparable results....
The models are good. The license is the real story. Google released Gemma 4 on April 2 with four variants: E2B, E4B, 26B MoE, and 31B Dense. All built on the Gemini 3 architecture. The 31B Dense variant claimed #3 on Arena AI's text leaderboard, beating models 20x its size. Th...
