NVIDIA Introduces X-Token: Projection-Guided Cross-Tokenizer KD That Outperforms GOLD by +3.82 Average Points on Llama-3.2-1B
Knowledge distillation (KD) transfers “dark knowledge” from a large teacher model to a smaller student. The student learns from the teacher’s full output probability distribution over tokens, not just correct answers. This is done via per-position Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence over next-token probability distributions. This formulation requires a shared tokenizer. A practitioner committed to Llama-3.2-1B cannot leverage stronger teachers with incompatible tokenizers — such as Phi-4-mini or Qwen3-4B — because token positions do not correspond across vocabularies. This also […]

Proposed new US funding rules: We can cancel any grant at any time
Last August, the Trump administration issued an executive order intended to fundamentally alter how grant funding is handled by the US government. Under the system that had made the US a scientific superpower, peer reviewers rated the scientific quality and feasibility of grant applications, and subject-matter experts within the funding agencies used these ratings to determine which grants got funded. Under the proposed rules, political appointees would have the final say, and they were specifically instructed not to […]

StepFun Releases Step 3.7 Flash: A 198B MoE Vision-Language Model for Coding Agents and Search Workflows
StepFun today released Step 3.7 Flash, a multimodal Mixture-of-Experts model targeting agentic use cases. It adds native vision input and improved tool-use reliability over Step 3.5 Flash. What is Step 3.7 Flash? Step 3.7 Flash is a 198B-parameter sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) vision-language model. It pairs a 196B-parameter language backbone with a 1.8B-parameter vision encoder (ViT) for native image understanding. The model activates approximately 11B parameters per token during inference. In MoE architectures, only a subset of “expert” sub-networks […]

Kenyan court blocks Trump admin from dumping Ebola-exposed Americans there
The Trump administration is refusing to repatriate Americans exposed to Ebola amid the outbreak still raging in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. But the plan to send US citizens to Kenya has hit a snag, and officials are still scrambling to find other countries that might take them. Earlier this week, it was revealed that the administration had devised a plan to establish a makeshift quarantine and treatment facility in Kenya—instead of bringing its citizens home for […]

SAC model collapse (?) after 950k steps
Tldr; my sac model experienced catastrophic failure after 950k steps. Entropy through the roof, mean reward and episode length down to almost 0. What the hell happened?? How do I stop it from happening again? Is the model recoverable? I’ve been working on a bipedal robot with point feet, trying to get it to just pace on the spot. After weeks of models settling on useless policies, I discovered the constraints as terminators (CaT) framework from this paper. […]

Botnet of more than 17 million devices dismantled
Authorities in the Netherlands said they dismantled a botnet that comprised more than 17 million devices and were managed by 200 servers in a joint operation by the police and the National Cyber Security Center. The action, announced Thursday, came about after a security researcher reported the sprawling network to authorities. The host infrastructure was located in the Netherlands. Used for criminal purposes “The police then seized several botnet servers from a hosting provider for investigation,” the NCSC […]
