In flow matching, a coupling determines how noise and... data samples are paired during training. The choice of coupling is important because it influences the geometry of trajectories at inference time. The simplest choice is the independent coupling, where noise and data points are paired arbitrarily. This can lead to curved trajectories as the model averages over many conflicting pairings. However, if we use optimal transport on batches of pairs, this leads to fewer ambiguous intersections that the model must resolve, leading to straighter trajectories at inference time.show more

⭐The Year of Inference is here. Featherless is now... an official inference provider on Hugging Face, unlocking 6,700+ LLMs for anyone to run, eval, and deploy instantly. It all starts with accessibility. From DeepSeek to Mistral, LLaMA to Qwen — powerful LLMs are one click away. We believe the future of AI is shaped by the long tail: personalized, specialized models tuned to real people’s needs. To get there, inference must be open, affordable, and usable by all. Whether you're fine-tuning, prototyping, or scaling a product, this moment is for you. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏻Let’s make inference the easiest part of building with AI. 📢 Share this so more builders know what’s now possible. Excited to be partnering with clem 🤗 Julien Chaumond Vaibhav (VB) Srivastav Simon Brandeis & Hugging Face team to take this to the next level!show more

Finally getting to share one of my favorite projects.... ICLR Oral! 🏆 It’s so strange how rigid video tokenization is. Think about it: why should a still landscape cost the same amount of tokens as a busy street? We built InfoTok. We went back to basics with Shannon’s information theory to make tokens "adaptive" in a principled way. Its 2.3x better compression and 11x faster inference demonstrates the magic of the old-school theory ✨ Check it out:show more

🚀Introducing The LLM Inference Provider Leaderboard - a live-updated,... unbiased eval of API Inference products. Featuring: Abacus.AI, Anyscale, DeepInfra, Decart, Fireworks AI, Lepton AI, Together AI, Perplexity, Replicate, as well as OpenAI and Anthropic models For each provider's Mixtral-8x7B and Llama-2-70B-Chat public endpoint, we benchmark cost, rate limit, P50 & P90 of throughput & TTFT, and average daily collections overtime for long term tracking. At Martian, we route each API request to the best LLM to reduce cost, reduce latency, and get the best performance. So finding the best providers is an important problem for us. We found that there's a > 5x cost difference, > 6x throughput variation, and even larger rate limit discrepancies among providers! Choosing between different LLMs is only part of the equation -- the selection of different inference endpoints is also crucial to get the best performance for your use case.

1/ Gemini 2.5 is here, and it’s our most... intelligent AI model ever. Our first 2.5 model, Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental is a state-of-the-art thinking model, leading in a wide range of benchmarks – with impressive improvements in enhanced reasoning and coding and now #1 on Arena by a significant margin. With a model this intelligent, we wanted to get it to people as quickly as possible. Find it on Google AI Studio and in the Google Gemini for Gemini Advanced users now – and in Vertex in the coming weeks. This is the start of a new era of thinking models – and we can’t wait to see where things go from here.show more

Depth Any Video with Scalable Synthetic Data AI physicists... and chemists continue to make strides in depth estimation from video. Check out this new paper featuring some impressive examples. See the thread for more details (unfortunately no code yet). Abstract: Video depth estimation has long been hindered by the scarcity of consistent and scalable ground truth data, leading to inconsistent and unreliable results. In this paper, we introduce Depth Any Video, a model that tackles the challenge through two key innovations. First, we develop a scalable synthetic data pipeline, capturing real-time video depth data from diverse game environments, yielding 40,000 video clips of 5-second duration, each with precise depth annotations. Second, we leverage the powerful priors of generative video diffusion models to handle real-world videos effectively, integrating advanced techniques such as rotary position encoding and flow matching to further enhance flexibility and efficiency. Unlike previous models, which are limited to fixed-length video sequences, our approach introduces a novel mixed-duration training strategy that handles videos of varying lengths and performs robustly across different frame rates 0 - even on single frames. At inference, we propose a depth interpolation method that enables our model to infer high-resolution video depth across sequences of up to 150 frames. Our model outperforms all previous generative depth models in terms of spatial accuracy and temporal consistency.show more

we sped up distributed inference by up to 5x... with decentralized speculative decoding. many don't realize that AI models normally generate text one single word at a time, waiting for the network after every word. speculative decoding changes this by using a "guess & confirm" system, similar to autocomplete. how it's done: 1. draft locally (the guess) instead of waiting for the network, a tiny, fast model on your device guesses the next few words instantly, without waiting for the network. 2. confirm remotely (the check) the massive remote model doesn't generate from scratch; it just checks the draft. it looks at the guesses in a batch and says "yes, yes, no." you get multiple words in the time it usually takes to get one. 3. adaptive logic dsd is smart. if the topic is creative, it lets the draft flow loose. if the topic is math or code, it checks more strictly. it balances speed and precision automatically so your inference almost feel instant. find out more: paper: blog:show more

Disappointed with your ICLR paper being rejected? Ten years... ago today, Sergey and I finished training some of the first end-to-end neutral nets for robot control 🤖 We submitted the paper to RSS on January 23, 2015. It was rejected for being "incremental" and "unlikely to have much impact" Our resubmission to NeurIPS was also rejected It now has >4,000 citations (and more importantly, end-to-end training is widely accepted!) It's also cool to think about what's changed and what's the same -- - The network was 92k parameters and trained on ~15 minutes of data - The code was a combination of matlab, caffe, ROS, a custom CUDA kernel for speed, and a low-level 20 Hz controller in C++, all talking to each other. ROS+matlab was as bad as it sounds. - We pre-trained the encoder and did inference off-board on a workstation with a larger GPU. - We were paranoid about varying lighting messing up the network, so we did all the experiments after sunset (so long nights running experiments on the robot past 3 am) Now, we have manipulation policies that are far more dextrous, far more generalizable, and maybe on the cusp of breaking into the real world. :) (the paper:show more

The human brain is truly a marvel of nature.... If you horribly reductive, and boiled it down to a language model, you'd be looking at roughly 100 trillon parameters running as a sparse MoE architecture Only about 1-5% of neurons fire at any given moment, meaning the brain "activates" maybe 1-5 trillion parameters per inference step. For context, the largest AI models we've built probably top out around 5 trillion parameters. The brain is roughly 100x larger. Even its active params at any given moment are larger than almost every model in existence today. Here's what melts my brain (pun intnended) though Your brain does all of this on about 20 watts of power, less than a dim light bulb. Training a frontier AI model consumes enough electricity to power small cities for months. Running inference across data centers pulls megawatts. Your brain runs 24/7 for 80+ years on the equivalent of a phone charger. We haven't come close to matching the brain's scale. And we're not even in the same universe when it comes to efficiency. Evolution spent 500 million yrs optimizing the most energy-efficient intelligence architecture ever known. we're trying to brute force our way there with compute and electricity. Nature is still the best engineer in the room.show more

NEWS: Waymo has just officially announced that they have... raised $16 billion at a $126 billion post-money valuation.
