    OpenBMB Open-Sources ForgeKernel: DeepSeek V4.1 Prefill Kernel 9.8% Faster

    OpenBMB announced the open-sourcing of ForgeKernel; its agent completed 42 iterations in about 22 hours and produced 32 kernel versions, ultimately achieving 1.098x performance on the DeepSeek V4.1 FlashMLA Prefill on an NVIDIA B200, at 472 µs versus the 518 µs baseline. The official FlashMLA implementation remained closed throughout; the agent could only run and time its black-box CLI and could not read source code, documentation, or profiling data. The open-sourced content includes the optimized DeepSeek V4.1 fused prefill kernel, the kernels from the paper covering attention, Gated DeltaNet, Kimi Delta Attention, GEMM, and convolution, as well as the ForgeKernel harness that can be used to optimize one's own kernels; across 27 operators, ForgeKernel matched or outperformed 18 of 22 expert-library kernels and outperformed all 7 kernels published by three kernel-generation systems.

    Schwarz Group leads Cohere's Series E funding of up to CAD 7 billion

    Cohere has completed its Series-E funding, targeting a size of up to CAD 7 billion (about EUR 4.7 billion), at a valuation of about CAD 35.7 billion (about EUR 23.9 billion), led by Schwarz Group, the parent company of Lidl and Kaufland, with participation from existing investors including the Canadian government and Nvidia. Cohere had previously merged with Heidelberg-based Aleph Alpha—in effect, Cohere acquired the latter—and Heidelberg continues to serve as a research and development base. Cohere focuses on Sovereign AI for enterprises and governments, and its technology can run in private clouds, on proprietary infrastructure, or in fully isolated environments. Schwarz Group plans to integrate Cohere models into its own STACKIT cloud.

    Eclypsium demonstrates how compromised hardware can tamper with AI models at inference time

    Eclypsium demonstrated, with NVIDIA's support, that an attacker using a compromised DPU and lax memory isolation can modify runtime model weights during inference, causing the model's answers to change while the model files on disk and hash verification still appear normal. The experiment was conducted in an NVIDIA Grace Hopper environment and depended on conditions such as IOMMU passthrough and lax PCIe isolation, which the researchers explicitly noted are not Linux default settings. The report brings DPUs, GPUs, management controllers and their firmware into the AI security boundary, and notes that model signing, secure boot, runtime isolation and continuous monitoring each answer different questions.

    Mistral AI Opens the Mistral Large 4 Model Weights: 1T Parameters, 49 Billion Activated Parameters

    On October 29 local time, Mistral AI officially opened the model weights of Mistral Large 4 (codename le Chonk). This is a natively multimodal model with 1 trillion total parameters and 49 billion activated parameters, trained from scratch on 3,800 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs in its own data center in Europe. The company says it scores 48% on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, roughly on par with GLM-5.3, but consumes 47% fewer Tokens per task on average. The model is released under a modified MIT license: personal, academic, fine-tuning, and conventional commercial use are free, while cloud providers offering MaaS resale need to obtain a separate commercial license; online API pricing is $0.70 per million input Tokens and $2.10 per million output Tokens.

    SoMark Open-Sources 1.3B Document Parsing Model OXR-1.0

    SoMark has open-sourced OXR-1.0, a 1.3B-parameter document parsing model that converts PDFs and page images into Markdown or JSON. The weights have been released on Hugging Face, and lightweight testing can run on a single 24GB GPU. The model ranks first on olmOCR-Bench, OmniDocBench, and DocParsingBench, achieves a decoding speed of 558 tokens/s on a single NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPU, and parses 100 pages end-to-end in about 101 seconds. Its post-training stage employs a recursive self-improvement (RSI) loop, in which a general-purpose VLM judges parsing results and generates newly annotated pages, eliminating the need for manual annotation.

    VicOne LAB R7 research: robot safety functions work normally, but what happens when inputs are tampered with?

    VicOne LAB R7 demonstrated how tampered inputs can change robot behavior while safety functions continue to work as usual: in the Gemma 4 E4B robot dog test, text on a poster was treated as an instruction and changed its movement; in a hospital service robot simulation using Nemotron + NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, constructed audio inaudible to the human ear changed the simulated behavior. Researchers also injected messages into a ROS 2/DDS robot that was supposed to remain stationary during a robot bug bounty event, causing it to move. VicOne recommends testing safety limits with adversarial scenarios before and after deployment, and providing evidence against GB/T 45502-2025, IEC TS 63074, and the EU Machinery Regulation applicable from January 20, 2027.

    FuriosaAI Completes $620 Million Funding Round at a $2.9 Billion Valuation

    South Korean inference chip startup FuriosaAI has completed a $620 million funding round at a valuation of $2.9 billion, led by the Korea National Growth Fund with a $280 million investment. The company says its TCP chip, based on the RNGD architecture, consumes less than half the power of Nvidia GPUs and is compatible with PyTorch and vLLM; this round of funding will be used to expand production capacity for its next-generation TCP chips, with plans to produce 20,000 units this year and double that to 40,000 units in 2027, while also jointly developing a third-generation processor with Broadcom.

ML4 was trained in a European data center on 3,800 Nvidia Grace Blackwell GPUs, improving from 28% to 41% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, tying GLM-5.3 for the best coding-agent score while using an average of 47% fewer tokens per task. Open weights mean enterprises can deploy it on their own hardware and behind their firewalls, and the model offers three reasoning modes: low, medium, and high.

    Mistral Large 4 open-weight release: improved coding and safety capabilities, API price halved

    Mistral AI released the open weights of Mistral Large 4 (codename Le Chonk) on Hugging Face on October 29. The model has 100 billion parameters out of a total parameter scale of the 100-billion class, with about 4.9 billion parameters actually invoked per token, using a MoE architecture with 128 experts, of which 4 are activated each time plus 1 shared expert. Compared with the October 6 preview version, Mistral says it continued reinforcement learning over three weeks, raising the Terminal-Bench 4.0 score from 28% to 41%; the Artificial Analysis coding index is 48%, on par with GLM-5.3 while using an average of 47% fewer tokens per task. API pricing drops to $0.70 per million input tokens and $2.10 per million output tokens; the new Mistral Ecosystem Open-Weight License permits commercial use, but reselling model services requires a separate agreement, and the full version requires 8 Nvidia B200 or B300 GPUs.

    PyTorch 2.15 Released: Rewritten NCCL Backend Becomes Default, Apple Silicon Gains FP8 Support

    The PyTorch Foundation has released PyTorch 2.15. All process groups using nccl now default to the rewritten NCCL backend, accompanied by a flight recorder that dumps on-site information when collective communication hangs, and can be reverted via TORCH_DIST_USE_NCCL2=0 or nccl-legacy. This version also adds float8_e4m3fn and _scaled_mm support for Apple Silicon, and the new grouped_mm improves MoE decoding throughput by 1.32–1.34x on M3 Ultra. The default wheel is upgraded to CUDA 13.2, while a CUDA 13.4 wheel is also provided with experimental support for NVIDIA Rubin GPUs; a ROCm 10.0 wheel is newly added, and Python 3.10 and macOS 14 are no longer supported.

These models have been converted to Core ML and published on the Hugging Face Hub; Parakeet takes about 20–40 seconds to transcribe 1 hour of audio, while Qwen3-ASR is slower and requires several GB of memory. The package also adds a speaker diarization module, SpeakerDiarizer, which the Apple framework lacks; it is based on NVIDIA Streaming Sortformer and can track up to 4 speakers.
