DiffusionGemma: 4x faster text generation blog.google
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • DiffusionGemma generates 256 tokens per forward pass using bidirectional attention, reaching 1,000+ tokens/sec on a single H100 GPU.
  • With only 3.8B active parameters during inference and an 18GB VRAM footprint when quantized, it runs on consumer hardware without server-grade resources.
  • Google recommends DiffusionGemma only for speed-critical workloads like in-line editing and code infilling, not for applications requiring maximum quality.

holy shit, Anthropic is about to become profitable. Not profitable minus training costs, just profitable, period. Today is not a good day for denialists at all.

New SWE benchmark, called DeepSWE. I'm curious why Cursor is not included. Anyway, I stand by my statement that Claude Code (Claude Opus 4.7) is better at first 80% and Codex (GPT 5.5) is better at remaining 1,000%, at this moment. deepswe.datacurve.ai

AI is good at cutting edge math, scientific research, and software engineering, but still cant install a new drain in your sink. This is because, presumably, being a plumber requires a human soul

Post training deepseek with a 1k gpu Huawei cluster -- no nvidia -- feels like a serious milestone to me "Intelligence too cheap to meter" cant arrive if there's an nvidia/tsmc bottleneck, even if its better for shareholders

I think an AI pause is a bad idea. Isn't mythos their most aligned model ever? This feels like it will be self correcting, if RSI hits itll have better ideas for handling RSI than we do

The US government is forcing anthropic to block all foreign nationals from using Mythos and Fable. This will be a big boost for national and transnational AI programs outside the US, and I fear it will provide further fuel to decoupling.

I generate a lot of AI art for blog post hero images. I can't tell if the model is actually getting worse (almost certainly not) or if I am just getting sick of the style but I FEEL as if the results are worse. Perhaps I need to switch generators or just sketch things myself
