From GPU architecture and PTX/SASS to warp-tiling and deep asynchronous tensor core pipelines…In this post, I will gradually introduce all of the core hardware concepts and programming techniques that underpin state-of-the-art (SOTA) NVIDIA GPU matrix-multiplication (matmul) kernels…
What investment is rudimentary for billionaires but ‘revolutionary’ for 70,571+ investors entering 2026?
Imagine this. You open your phone to an alert. It says, “you spent $236,000,000 more this month than you did last month.”
If you were the top bidder at Sotheby’s fall auctions, it could be reality.
Sounds crazy, right? But when the ultra-wealthy spend staggering amounts on blue-chip art, it’s not just for decoration.
The scarcity of these treasured artworks has helped drive their prices, in exceptional cases, to thin-air heights, without moving in lockstep with other asset classes.
The contemporary and post war segments have even outpaced the S&P 500 overall since 1995.*
Now, over 70,000 people have invested $1.2 billion+ across 500 iconic artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.
How? You don’t need Medici money to invest in multimillion dollar artworks with Masterworks.
Thousands of members have gotten annualized net returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8% from 26 sales to date.

Leveraging open-source MLOps tools can significantly enhance this process, providing flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Here, we explore some of the leading open-source MLOps platforms, frameworks, and tools that are empowering developers and data scientists worldwide.
This post explores: how do current frontier LLMs handle probabilistic inference on a Bayesian network? I’ll walk through the Variable Elimination algorithm since it is one of the easiest to understand and implement, solve an example by hand with it, and then compare how seven reasoning LLMs approach the same query, analyzing not just whether they get the right answer, but how they reason through the problem…
Agentic AI represents a distinct evolution from stateless chatbots toward complex workflows, and scaling it requires new memory architecture. As foundation models scale toward trillions of parameters and context windows reach millions of tokens, the computational cost of remembering history is rising faster than the ability to process it.
75% of Tailwind's engineering team lost their jobs due to the impact AI has had on the business. Traffic to Tailwind's docs is down about 40% from early 2023. The docs are the only way for people to discover Tailwind's commercial products, so this is resulting in less income for the project. While Tailwind is growing faster than ever and is bigger than it has ever been, its revenue is down close to 80%.
Most of us are not marathon runners or Crossfitters, yet many hydration drinks are made with excess sodium designed for these intense athletes. Surprisingly, an estimated 75 percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated*. This can stem from many reasons, like simply not drinking enough water, or from taking certain medications…
Native Hydrate offers a solution with clean ingredients, zero sugar, essential minerals (vital to key bodily functions), all 9 essential amino acids (for muscle support, recovery, and focus), and high bioavailability.

Anthropic has signed a term sheet for a $10B funding round at a $350B valuation, with Coatue and Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC leading the financing. Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI research executives, Anthropic has attracted billions from Amazon, Microsoft (up to $5B), and Nvidia (up to $10B), and recently released three Claude models: Sonnet 4.5, Haiku 4.5, and Opus 4.5.
Google Classroom has launched a Gemini-powered feature that converts lesson plans into podcast-style audio episodes, allowing teachers to generate conversational learning content for students who prefer audio formats. Teachers can customize grade level, topics, and learning objectives, then choose the number of speakers and conversational styles—including interviews, roundtable discussions, or casual dialogues.
Lenovo just announced Qira at CES 2026, a system-level AI assistant designed to follow users between its PCs and Motorola phones for “Personal Ambient Intelligence” with context across devices. Qira’s system combines Microsoft and OAI cloud models, Stability AI for image generation, and integrations for Notion and Perplexity.
Waymo is preparing to update its lineup with a new van built by Chinese automaker Zeekr and a modified Hyundai Ioniq 5s. The vehicles will be added to Waymo's growing operations this year, but the company has yet to specify which cities will see them. The Zeekr vehicle will be called the Waymo Ojai in the US.
