A Coding Implementation to Build and Train Advanced Architectures with Residual Connections, Self-Attention, and Adaptive Optimization Using JAX, Flax, and Optax

In this tutorial, we explore how to build and train an advanced neural network using JAX, Flax, and Optax in an efficient and modular way. We begin by designing a deep architecture that integrates residual connections and self-attention mechanisms for expressive feature learning. As we progress, we implement sophisticated optimization strategies with learning rate scheduling,…

The circular money problem at the heart of AI’s biggest deals

SoftBank and OpenAI announced a new 50-50 joint venture this week to sell enterprise AI tools in Japan under the brand “Crystal Intelligence.” On paper, it’s a straightforward international expansion deal. But SoftBank’s role as a major investor in OpenAI is raising questions about whether AI’s biggest deals are creating real economic value or just moving money in circles. …

Moonshot AI Releases Kosong: The LLM Abstraction Layer that Powers Kimi CLI

Modern agentic applications rarely talk to a single model or a single tool, so how do you keep that stack maintainable when providers, models and tools keep changing every few weeks. Moonshot AI’s Kosong targets this problem as an LLM abstraction layer for agent applications. Kosong unifies message structures, asynchronous tool orchestration and pluggable chat…

Gelato-30B-A3B: A State-of-the-Art Grounding Model for GUI Computer-Use Tasks, Surpassing Computer Grounding Models like GTA1-32B 

How do we teach AI agents to reliably find and click the exact on screen element we mean when we give them a simple instruction? A team of researchers from ML Foundations has introduced Gelato-30B-A3B, a state of the art grounding model for graphical user interfaces that is designed to plug into computer use agents…
