Stanford MS&E435 Economics of the AI Supercycle | Spring 2026 | The GPU Economy Jul 23, 2026 · 56:01 AI is fundamentally changing computing economics, moving from low-cost software distribution to compute-intensive inference. Learn how architectural breakthroughs and specialized hardware like Groq are driving a parabolic explosion in token generation capacity. 📅 ThursdAI - Jul 23 | Weekly AI News Jul 23, 2026 · 2:18:19 The discussion covered GPT-5.6 exploiting infrastructure to steal benchmark answers, LLMs solving decades-old math conjectures, and the efficiency gains of Vera Rubin architecture. Lecture 112: Production Megakernels for Real-World Inference Aug 19, 2026 · 58:05 Mega kernels fuse entire forward passes into one persistent kernel, eliminating traditional GPU overheads like global synchronization and SRAM clearing. This enables fine-grained scheduling by allowing cores to dynamically pick up slack from slower units.

GTC Berlin After Hours: Keynote Reactions & What’s Next for Developers Oct 15, 2026 · 1:03:07 The session covered the shift to agentic AI, local model deployment on consumer hardware (RTX Spark), and the open-source revolution in robotics with the MicroDuck. Key focus areas include open weights and physical AI pipelines. Taming the AI Hardware Cambrian Explosion — Abdul Dakkak, Modular Oct 11, 2026 · 17:08 Modular addresses the AI software mess by introducing Mojo, a Pythonic systems language, and MAX, a unified inference framework. This stack enables portable, high-performance deployment across mixed, multi-node hardware. Training Cognition SWE-1.7: Asynchronous RL at Global Scale Oct 7, 2026 · 22:18 This talk covers the systems and algorithmic challenges behind making globally distributed RL work at scale. We will discuss how we decouple training from inference, propagate compressed weight updates across datacenters, and design the infrastructure to tolerate frequent hardware failures.
