How much GPU energy does fp16 save? Measured on a Tesla T4
How much GPU energy does fp16 actually save over fp32? Spec sheets give TDP and peak FLOPS, not joules per job, so I measured it on a Tesla T4 using…
Whisper Hallucinations: 'Thanks for Watching' in 9% of My Transcripts
A user emailed me a screenshot of their feedback report. Under "Communication," my scoring model had written: "Closed the answer with 'Thanks for wa…

Keras #22561 speedups: compiled Keras on PyTorch now generates text 11.6 faster
Between master on Jul 18 and master on Oct 15, 2026, 15 of our PRs landed in Keras. Same GPU, same torch and jax versions, same models; only the Ker…
I benchmarked 8 PDF extractors on 27 documents from 1 to 487 pages. Here's what broke, and what won.
I knew something was off when two numbers landed in the same afternoon. Every tool that reads the PDF text layer had scored exactly 0.00 on every ch…
C = 1.25 is a tolerance, not a constant: the load-tail law behind MoE token dropping
Every sparse Mixture-of-Experts layer has a number in it that nobody derived. You need a static shape for the kernel, so each expert gets a budget c…
Why We Kept Ternary Bonsai 2 27B After Testing the Faster 9B
