The infrastructure writeup details the platform behind AI2's Earth-observation foundation models, pretrained on roughly 10 TB of multimodal satellite data. The wildfire-risk mapping job compressed an estimated 4,737 hours of serial compute into roughly 30.5 hours at fractions of a penny per square kilometer, pulling Sentinel-1/2, Landsat, and NISAR from AWS Open Data, GCP, USGS, Copernicus, NASA/ASF, and Microsoft Planetary Computer. Tiling, scheduling, and serving strategy for continuously-updating streaming data is rarely documented this openly.

Engineering post-mortem on Hugging Face walking through what broke building a production agent rather than a demo. First-party agent-engineering retrospectives from a research lab are rare, since most agent content is vendor marketing wearing a lab coat. Read it next to The Pr...
The FARMA attack plants fabricated entries in an agent's reasoning memory claiming a safety step already ran (arXiv 2608.16032). SENTINEL, the defense shipped alongside FARMA, is evaded on the first try by asking an LLM to reword the forgery. The capability paradox is the part...
TutorMoments replays real decision points from 462 de-identified one-on-one math tutoring transcripts with 1,500+ teacher-marked moments and thousands of annotations from 27 educators. Across seven models, default assistant behavior was to over-scaffold, making problems easier...
Announced at FMS, the cuFile APIs let GPUs read and write storage directly in microseconds rather than routing through CPUs, and SCADA (scaled, accelerated data access) lets massively parallel GPUs pull only application-necessary data into high-bandwidth memory. NVIDIA also sh...
