Chip-scale light technology could power faster AI and data center communications

Researchers at Trinity have developed a new light-based technology on a tiny chip that could help make the data centers behind cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and global internet services faster and more efficient. In the new research, recently published in Nature Communications, the Trinity team reported one such promising advance with collaborators at the University …

Mugen – Modernized Anime SDXL Base, or how to make Bluvoll tiny bit less sane

Your monthly “Anzhc’s Posts” issue have arrived. Today im introducing – Mugen – continuation of the Flux 2 VAE experiment on SDXL. We have renamed it to signify strong divergence from prior Noobai models, and to finally have a normal name, no more NoobAI-Flux2VAE-Rectified-Flow-v-0.3-oc-gaming-x. In this run in particular we have prioritized character knowledge, and …

Entropy-Preserving Reinforcement Learning

Policy gradient algorithms have driven many recent advancements in language model reasoning. An appealing property is their ability to learn from exploration on their own trajectories, a process crucial for fostering diverse and creative solutions. As we show in this paper, many policy gradient algorithms naturally reduce the entropy—and thus the diversity of explored trajectories—as …

How Ring scales global customer support with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases

This post is cowritten with David Kim, and Premjit Singh from Ring. Scaling self-service support globally presents challenges beyond translation. In this post, we show you how Ring, Amazon’s home security subsidiary, built a production-ready, multi-locale Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-based support chatbot using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. By eliminating per-Region infrastructure deployments, Ring reduced the cost …
