Long video generation is a systems problem. Introducing LongLive-2.0 from NVIDIA Research: an end-to-end NVFP4 training and inference system for long video generation. Low-precision deployment often relies on post-training quantization, creating a gap between how models are trained and how they run. LongLive-2.0 aligns NVFP4-aware training, distillation, and W4A4 inference, maintaining strong benchmark quality while improving speed and memory efficiency.

🚀 The 4-bit era has arrived! Meet #SVDQuant, our new W4A4 quantization paradigm for diffusion models. Now, 12B FLUX can run on a 16GB 4090 laptop without offloading—with 3x speedups over W4A16 models (like NF4) while maintaining top-tier image quality. #AI #Quantization. 1/7

🤯Real-time video generation just got HUGE. Introducing Helios: A 14B parameter model running at 19.5 FPS on a single H100. Cheaper, Faster, and Stronger than 1.3B models, generating minute-long videos without the usual tricks (even no quantization).

We asked Sholto Douglas from Anthropic about the costs of RL (Reinforcement Learning) runs. "In Dario Amodei's essay, he said that RL runs cost only $1M back in December." "RL is a more naively parallelizable and scalable than pre-training." "With pre-training, you need everything in one big data center ideally. For RL, in theory, you could scale all over the world."

🚨 New Paper Training an LLM to speak low-resource language (EACL workshop, 2026) Tulu is spoken by 2M+ people in coastal Karnataka and LLMs basically can't speak it. We got to 85% grammar accuracy without fine-tuning anything or collecting a single new training example.

LLMs can take gigabytes of memory to store, which limits what can be run on consumer hardware. But quantization can dramatically compress models, making a wider selection of models available to developers. You can often reduce model size by 4x or more while maintaining reasonable performance. In our new short course Quantization Fundamentals taught by Hugging Face's @younesbelkada and Marc Sun, you'll: - Learn how to quantize nearly any open source model - Use int8 and bfloat16 (Brain float 16) data types to load and run LLMs using PyTorch and the Hugging Face Transformers library - Dive into the technical details of linear quantization to map 32-bit floats to 8-bit integers As models get bigger and bigger, quantization becomes more important for making models practical and accessible. Please check out the course here:

Reasoning LLMs generate very long chains-of-thought, so even small quantization errors add up. With AWQ, Qwen3-4B drops 71.0 → 68.2 on MMLU-Pro (~4% relative loss). 😬 ParoQuant fixes this! It keeps only the critical rotation pairs and fuses everything into a single kernel. Recovers most of the lost reasoning accuracy with minimal overhead — so 4-bit models stay strong at reasoning. 💪💪

ParoQuant just got a big upgrade 🚀 ✅ Supports the new Qwen3.5 models ⚡ Now runs on MLX (fast local inference on Apple Silicon) 🧠 Preserves reasoning quality with 4-bit quantization We also built an agent demo running locally on my 4-year-old M2 Max. Can't wait to upgrade to an M5 Max and see what kind of magic we can do. ✨

What if you could train AI agents on a laptop as easily as on a GPU cluster? Researchers from UIUC's U Lab, led by Prof. Jiaxuan You, just open-sourced OpenTinker. It's a new "Reinforcement-Learning-as-a-Service" (RLaaS) system that decouples the complex training pipeline into simple, distributed services with friendly APIs. The result? It breaks down the major engineering barriers to RL, outperforming traditional frameworks in accessibility and ease of deployment, finally making agent training viable for more developers and teams.

(1/5) FP4 hardware is here, but 4-bit attention still kills model quality, blocking true end-to-end FP4 serving. To fix that, we propose Attn-QAT, the first systematic study of quantization-aware training for attention. The result: FP4 attention quality is comparable to BF16 attention with 1.1x–1.5x higher throughput than SageAttention3 on an RTX 5090 and 1.39x speedup over FlashAttention-4 on a B200.
