Laminar: A Scalable Asynchronous RL Post-Training Framework
Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training for Large Language Models (LLMs) is now scaling to large clusters and running for extended durations to enhance model reasoning performance. However, the scalability of existing RL frameworks is limited, as extreme long-tail skewness in RL trajectory generation causes severe GPU underutilization. Current asynchronous RL systems attempt to mitigate this, but they rely on global weight synchronization between the actor and all rollouts, which creates a ri…

Zero-Shot CFC: Fast Real-World Image Denoising based on Cross-Frequency Consistency
Zero-shot denoisers address the dataset dependency of deep-learning-based denoisers, enabling the denoising of unseen single images. Nonetheless, existing zero-shot methods suffer from long training times and rely on the assumption of noise independence and a zero-mean property, limiting their effectiveness in real-world denoising scenarios where noise characteristics are more complicated. This paper proposes an efficient and effective method for real-world denoising, the Zero-Shot denoiser bas…

RAGs to Riches: RAG-like Few-shot Learning for Large Language Model Role-playing
Role-playing Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in high-stakes domains such as healthcare, education, and governance, where failures can directly impact user trust and well-being. A cost effective paradigm for LLM role-playing is few-shot learning, but existing approaches often cause models to break character in unexpected and potentially harmful ways, especially when interacting with hostile users. Inspired by Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), we reformulate LLM role-pl…

A Major Internet Provider is Reportedly Shutting Down | Cord Cutters News
Hughesnet, the long-standing satellite internet provider, is gearing up to guide its own customers toward its fiercest competitor, Starlink, as part of a strategic pivot amid mounting financial pressures and intensifying market rivalry. This unusual move stems from a broader agreement between Hughesnet’s parent company, EchoStar, and SpaceX, which involves the sale of valuable radio […]
