It's worth pointing out that we have been pushing on large-scale training and asynchronous techniques for the last ~14 years. Here's our NeurIPS 2012 paper where we demonstrated that this approach could be used to train very large neural networks (for the time: 30X larger than

GPT-5.5 Pro Testing: Social Science Research, RPG Development, and Hard Problems
By
–
Here’s my view on GPT-5.5, which I have been testing for a couple of weeks. It conducted not-bad social science research on its own, developed a novel RPG & more. There is still jaggedness but GPT-5.5 Pro is (for today) the best model for hard problems.

Google TPU 8i Co-Designed for Low Latency Inference
By
–
TPU 8i is co-designed with our Gemini research team to support low latency inference. Among the attributes that support this are large amounts of on-chip SRAM, enabling more computations to be done on chip without having to go to HBM for weights or KVCache state as often. The

TPU 8t: 3X FP4 Performance Boost Over Ironwood
By
–
First, let's talk about TPU 8t, which is designed for large-scale training and inference throughput. The pod size is increased slightly to 9600 chips, and provides ~3X the FP4 performance per pod vs. Ironwood (8t has 121 exaflops/pod vs. 42.5 exaflops/pod for Ironwood). In

Congrats to @AlecRad @Luke_Metz and @soumithchintala
! It's really cool to see work produced by a group of 20-somethings without a single PhD between them winning this award. I hope to see these three collaborate again one day 🙂 -

AI Models Automate Self-Jailbreaking Process Advancement
By

I mentioned this project in this week's AI Lab newsletter. It suggests a kind of flip side to the idea of self-improvement in AI models. As models become more powerful, it shows they can automate the process of figuring out how to jailbreak themselves and other models remarkably
