API Documentation (Chinese) HuggingFace Demo ModelScope Demo Introduction After the release of Qwen2.5, we heard the community’s demand for processing longer contexts. In recent months, we have made many optimizations for the model capabilities and inference performance of extremely long context. Today, we are proud…
Simplifying the problem to an earlier problem.
With the recent release of Ubuntu 24.04, we at Snyk Security Labs thought it would be interesting to examine the latest version of this Linux distribution to see if we could find any interesting privilege escalation vulnerabilities.
2024-11-13 : An earlier version of this report asserted that consumers with auto-commit enabled could lose data by automatically committing offsets returned by the most recent poll. This claim was based in part on Confluent’s documentation , which states:
A new post-training training quantization paradigm for diffusion models, which quantize both the weights and activations of FLUX.1 to 4 bits, achieving 3.5× memory and 8.7× latency reduction on a 16GB laptop 4090 GPU. Code: https://www.github.com/mit-han-lab/nunchaku
Didn't even make it out of the gate.
QNX is changing the game for engineers and software developers, providing free access to QNX software and resources for non-commercial use.
The Microsoft Azure Core Upstream team is excited to announce the Hyperlight project, an open-source Rust library you can use to create very small VMs for embedded functions. Learn more.
Explore 3 limitations of using frame pointers for stack unwinding and profiling in Linux that are often overlooked, plus possible future alternatives.
Google networking leaders reflect on the milestones that led to Jupiter supporting 13 petabits per second bandwidth, and what comes next.
In this post we look at the impact of a new feature of Ruby 3.4 on Shopify’s monolith.
The demo shows that even though the behavior appears similar, TCP connections leak when using the io_uring driver but not with the epoll driver. I've also tested this across various io_uring runtimes, and it turns out to be a common issue across all of them.
We are thrilled to announce the release of **Wasmer 5.0**, the latest milestone in our journey to make WebAssembly the greatest tool for executing softw...
If you love exploit mitigations, you may have heard of a new system call named mseal landing into the Linux kernel’s 6.10 release, providing a protection called “memory sealing.” Beyond notes from the authors, very little information about this mitigation exists. In this blog post, we’ll explain what this syscall is…
As our first quantized models in this Llama category, these instruction-tuned models retain the quality and safety of the original 1B and 3B models, while achieving 2-4x speedup.
Why are streaming joins so tricky? Discover the hidden complexities of real-time data, and learn how to tame the infinite stream!
ISRG has been investing heavily in the Rustls TLS library over the past few years. Our goal is to create a library that is both memory safe and a leader in performance. Back in January of this year we published a post about the start of our performance journey. We've come a long way since then and we're excited to…
Understand .NET 9.0 LINQ performance improvements, faster iterator and the usage of Span
Many companies are running old Postgres versions and missing out on many improvements. The reasons: Postgres works and upgrades suck.
In September, machine learning engineers at Mozilla filed a bug report indicating that Firefox was consuming excessive memory and CPU resources while running Microsoft’s ONNX Runtime (a machine learning library) compiled to WebAssembly.
Explore Tandem NonStop architecture principles and their relevance to high availability in software systems like Elixir, Gleam, and Erlang.
Sometimes, a seemingly simple and obvious solution can lead to a series of problems later on. This is especially true when adding retries.
Perfctl is particularly elusive and persistent malware employing several sophisticated techniques
Engineer Bo Ingram shares insight into how Discord shoulders its traffic and provides a platform for our users to communicate.
(please note that there’s a correction at the bottom) In the Overview of cross-architecture portability problems, I have dedicated a section to the problems resulting from use of 32-bit time_…
Earlier this year, a user at Practical ZFS asked a deceptively simple question: I have a Proxmox pool of three four-wide RAIDz1 vdevs. Whenever my VM is running, all twelve... Read More
Ideally, you’d want your program to work everywhere. Unfortunately, that’s not that simple, even if you’re using high-level “portable” languages such as Python. In thi…
How we rolled out zstandard and other improvements across our gateway cluster to reduce the amount of bandwidth that’s used by our clients.
Today the Direct3D and HLSL teams are excited to share some insight into the next big step for GPU programmability. Once Shader Model 7 is released,
