Releases, research, and ideas for developers and product teams. Updated every hour.
AWS published a post describing an architecture that combines Amazon EKS, Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA), and DeepEP to support large-scale MoE reinforcement learning. Across 48 P5en instances running a super-sparse MoE model, enabling DeepEP over EFA increased aggregate RL rollout throughput by 40 percent.
An AWS Machine Learning Blog post walks through running SkyRL, an open-source reinforcement learning framework, on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod to train a Qwen3-VL-8B vision-language model to navigate visual mazes with GRPO. Starting from the VisGym SFT checkpoint, the post reports the maze solve rate rose from 43.75% to more than 95% on a fixed 64-maze evaluation set.
AWS published a post detailing five quality assurance techniques in its NarrateAI assistant built on Amazon Bedrock, used by over 4,000 AWS executive leaders. The techniques are adaptive pipeline orchestration, cross-account multi-model failover, real-time streaming evaluation, composite evaluation framework and data accuracy verification, which AWS says achieve approximately 99 percent numerical accuracy.
Deploy the publicly available Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base text-to-speech model from Amazon SageMaker JumpStart to a fully managed, real-time endpoint, and clone a voice from a short reference clip. Cross-lingual cloning preserves the speaker's identity across languages.
Learn how Datacor built a self-service rental analytics experience for gas and welding distributors by embedding Amazon Quick Sight dashboards and natural language querying into its TrackAbout platform, powered by an automated cross-cloud data pipeline and multi-tenant row-level security.
Perplexity has migrated its search infrastructure from Amazon DynamoDB to CobbleDB, an internally developed key-value store in Rust. This change reduced latency and costs associated with handling large document batches. The new architecture supports high query volumes more efficiently, achieving improved latency and reduced storage expenses while managing significant production traffic. By Olimpiu Pop
AWS details how the latest Model Context Protocol specification removes protocol-level sessions, sticky-session requirements, and session storage for remote MCP servers. The change enables independent request routing and simpler horizontal scaling while shifting application state, retries, observability, and idempotency concerns to other layers. By Leela Kumili
Vendors rolling out AI have an "incentive to deny as many claims as possible."
QCon AI New York has confirmed 23 sessions for its December 15-16, 2026 event at The Westin Jersey City Newport, covering agent authorization, production guardrails, shared inference infrastructure, and post-deployment AI evaluation. Conference chair Hien Luu said AI engineering has become systems engineering.
The US government wants to spend $30.3 million over the next five years on an improved form of lie detector, according to a Department of Defense budget request. The program, called Polygraph+ or Polygraph Next, will focus on scoring algorithms that use artificial intelligence and machine learning and on a technique called “standoff sensing,” which…
A quiet day lets us discuss the work behind the scenes - now open for business!
Northern Gannet, Great Blue Heron, California Brown Pelican, in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, CA, US, CA New 200-800mm Canon EF lens got me my best photo of Morris yet. They really like hanging out under that sign in the harbor! Tags: photography , wildlife
GWM Worlds 2 uses persistent context and timed actions to steer a world model generating video and audio in real time.
Simon Willison wrote that spending more time with coding agents has convinced him they make software engineering even harder, though he says they enable amazing things when used with extraordinary discipline and knowledge.
MIT McGovern Institute researchers developed a language-processing tool that uses a custom lexicon tied to 49 suicide risk factors to estimate suicide risk from text conversations with crisis counselors. Reported in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science, it accurately predicted risk in about 16,000 de-identified Crisis Text Line conversations and may aid assessment with more validation.
Simon Willison released commit-rewriter 0.2, adding support for branches other than the default branch, runnable with uvx commit-rewriter --branch other.
What is a developer to do when they need something more tangible than a chat box? Enter canvases. The post When chat is the wrong UI appeared first on The GitHub Blog .
Datasette 1.0a41 has been released, adding OpenTelemetry support contributed by Alec Garcia. The release also refactors all of Datasette's modal dialogs into a single Web Component, now documented for other plugins to use.
In this blog post, I explain how to use the new fuzzing taskflow based on the GitHub Security Lab Taskflow Agent AI framework. The post AI-powered fuzzing with the GitHub Security Lab Taskflow Agent appeared first on The GitHub Blog .
