Disclosure
GLM-5.2 autonomously wrote and guided production GPU kernels for Baseten's inference engine
“Some of the GPU kernels that were on GLM-Five-two within our inference engine is written by GLM-Five-two. And the trace and the kernels were guided by GLM-Five-two as the driver.”

AI ASIC startups are doomed as NVIDIA GPUs become domain-specialized
“How can you look at this trend and then still be bullish on companies that are coming up with Asics for AI.”

Editing isolated facts in MLP weights fails to update multi-hop downstream reasoning
“So if you know that the best university in the world is Waterloo, then the answer should be Waterloo. But if I wasn't just one-shotting the question and I was to ask it to like, use its knowledge to think and then give me a second answer, or like, should I hir…”

Opinion
KV cache compaction is the viable path to solve LLM continual learning
“If you're able to sort of make your KV almost infinite, and you're able to compact in such a way that you don't lose any of the knowledge. In that case, you can actually do a continual learning as you can actually solve continual learning. And this, as a, it's…”

Insight
Hourly GPU instances are cheaper than pay-per-token for high-volume AI inference
“And more often than not, it's like way cheaper if you're pushing like millions of tokens per hour, if you just pay per hour instead of pay per token.”
