    I trained a transformer in HyperCard. 1,216 parameters. 1989 Macintosh. And yes, it took a while. MacMind is a complete transformer neural network, embeddings, positional encoding, self-attention, backpropagation, and gradient descent, implemented entirely in HyperTalk, the scripting language Apple shipped with HyperCard in 1987. Every line of code is readable inside HyperCard's script editor. Option-click any button and read the actual math. The task: learn the bit-reversal permutation, the opening step of the Fast Fourier Transform. The model has no formula to follow. It discovers the…

    It's our new text-to-image model: a 9.3B single-stream diffusion transformer trained entirely from scratch. We focused heavily on controllability through structured JSON prompts, with strong text rendering, spatial awareness through bounding box guidance, and color palette control. It has the best text rendering of any open-weight model we've tested so far, and the NF4 quantized checkpoint runs on a single 24GB GPU. For more technical details and examples see our blog post: https://ideogram.ai/blog/ideogram-4.0/ We will be happy to answer any questions :)

    We're excited to announce that we've open-sourced LeanRL, a lightweight PyTorch reinforcement learning library that provides recipes for fast RL training using torch.compile and CUDA graphs. By leveraging these tools, we've achieved significant speed-ups compared to the original CleanRL implementations - up to 6x faster! Reinforcement learning is notoriously CPU-bound due to the high frequency of small CPU operations. PyTorch's powerful compiler can help alleviate these issues, but comes with its own costs. LeanRL addresses this challenge by providing simple recipes to accelerate your…

    Visions is a python library for working with user defined data type systems. Out of the box, it provides type inference and automated data cleaning of sequence data with backend specific implementations for pandas, spark, python, and numpy. We often use it as a first pass cleaning step when working with tabular data and to simplify the backend logic of both pandas-profiling[1] and our tabular data compression library compressio[2]. Because data types are user defined, we can build user customizable libraries based around types without adding code complexity. In the case of compressio that…

    Trim is building a foundation model for physics. We found almost all well-maintained transformer-based architectures are optimized for language models. We’re releasing our own open-source transformer package that is optimized for physics. It achieves a 90% reduction in memory usage and a 3.5x speedup in a standard Navier-Stokes dataset.
