Privacy-Aware Infrastructure in the AI-Native Era: An Asset Classification Case Study
Privacy controls — systems that enforce retention, access, allowed-purpose, downstream-sharing, or anonymization policies — require a reliable understanding of data to function. Before such a control can operate effectively, it must know exactly what it is looking at. This can be complex, as demonst...
Streamlining Resource Binding with End-to-End Support for Vulkan Descriptor Heaps
Shaders are GPU programs that process visual data—such as rays, pixels, geometry, and textures—to produce specific rendering effects. Shaders find necessary...

Scaling Laws, Carefully
Scaling laws are one of the most critical empirical findings in deep learning. The observation is simple in form: the training loss $L$ decreases predictably as we scale up model size $N$, dataset size $D$, and compute $C$, following a power-law curve, which appears as a straight line on a log-log p...
How GPT-5 helped immunologist Derya Unutmaz solve a 3-year-old mystery
GPT-5 Pro helped solve a 3-year-old immunology mystery, offering insights into T cell behavior. The breakthrough could support cancer and autoimmune research.
Maximize AI Factory Energy Efficiency Through Full-Stack Inference and Training Optimizations
Power can account for 40% of the operating expenses (OpEx) to run an AI factory. Each watt can be spent on overhead, data ingestion, training, or generating...
How Meta Engineered Ultra-Narrow Batteries for AI Glasses
Smart glasses like the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Vanguards need to pack enough energy to power features like cameras, speakers, AI workloads, and even a display. But it all has to fit into the glasses’ temple arms. So how do you place a battery with enough power to run a pair of smart glasses [.....
