The video demo runs a 7b Model on a normal gaming GPU. I think it already works quite well (accounting for the limited hardware power). :)

Hi! I built this to teach myself how a quantum circuit simulator works. It's about 1000 lines of Python, aiming to be understandable more than being fast or robust. It's not meant to compete with anything else - just a personal project to really get clear on the under-the-hood theory of qubits and quantum gates.

The model uses a 1024-dimensional complex Hilbert space with 32 layers of programmable Mach–Zehnder meshes (Reck architecture) and derives token probabilities directly via the Born rule. Despite using only unitary operations and no attention mechanism, a 1024×32 model achieves coherent TinyStories generation after < 1.8 hours of training on a single consumer GPU. This is Part 1 - the next step is physical implementation with $50 of optics from AliExpress.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) let an untrusted proved show that computation was executed correctly without revealing the inputs to the verifier. However to prove anything, the computation first has to be expressed as a circuit: a system of polynomial equations (constraints) over a finite field. Circuits are the assembly language of zk and every constraint costs prover (and sometimes verifier) time, so production circuits are aggressively hand-optimized. Over the last months, we have been experimenting with writing formal specifications instead and letting LLMs produce the circuits: as long as…

We’ve just released an open-source library for solving the Maximum Independent Set (MIS) problem with neutral atom quantum computing, running on both quantum processing units (QPUs) and classical hardware, thanks to emulators. This project is the result of collaboration between Pasqal, academic researchers, and industry partners, aiming to make it practical to experiment with quantum approaches to hard combinatorial optimization tasks. The MIS problem appears in real-world scenarios like scheduling, resource allocation, and network optimization, areas where classical solvers often struggle…

Hi everyone, I started working on nanoeuler after the ban of anthropic's fable because my ambition and dream is to work in the AI field in anthropic. The two interesting reasons that led me to create nanoeuler were (1) interfacing with llm does not mean understanding how they are composed and (2), working on llm with a very low-level layer to understand the correlation between parameters and data and growth of the model and how the GPU works and how some layers can be optimized. So I started working on it with a research aspect by making nanoeuler grow more and more but doing one step after…

Hi HN, We're proud to announce the release of the Quantum Evolution Kernel! It's still an early version, so feedback is very much welcome. # What is it? Quantum evolution kernel is an open-source library designed for anyone interested in applying quantum computing to graph machine learning -- and you don’t even need a quantum computer in your living room to start using it! It has a wide range of graph machine learning applications, including prediction of molecular toxicity, as shown in the tutorial. # Why is it exciting? Quantum computing has huge potential, but it needs to be accessible…

We've built InferX, a specialized runtime environment that fundamentally changes how LLMs are served. The core problem we solve is the latency bottleneck in AI inference, especially with large models. Current systems waste resources or suffer from painfully slow cold starts. InferX's AI-native architecture, with its "snapshot" technology, enables: * *Sub-2s cold starts:* Spin up models instantly. * *High density:* Serve more LLMs on the same GPUs. * *Optimal efficiency:* Maximize GPU utilization. This isn't just another API; it's a new execution layer designed from the ground up for the…

Cursor published a great post last week on scaling long-running autonomous coding agents to build a browser. We’ve been exploring a similar idea, but applied to math proofs We show how a swarm of agents, coordinated via shared memory, can generate a Lean proof for a non-trivial multi-step math problem-Putnan A2-that a single agent struggled with. We were feeling fancy so we wrote a full post and captured the runtime. Harness will be public soon(tm) for you to run it yourself.

For the past few months, I’ve been working on a new Layer 1 blockchain designed to solve what I see as the fundamental trilemma in the space: achieving strong privacy, infinite scalability, and post-quantum security simultaneously. The result is NERV: a private-by-default, horizontally scalable blockchain that replaces Merkle trees with 512-byte neural state embeddings, proven inside Halo2 circuits and attested in hardware enclaves. Key technical innovations: Neural State Embeddings Instead of Merkle trees, the entire state of a shard is compressed into a 512-byte vector using a transformer…
