Since his first years as a top player, Jannik Sinner has long had one major weakness.

DeepSeek unveils its newest model at rock-bottom prices and with ‘full support’ from Huawei chips
The narrow gap between DeepSeek and leading U.S. models, as well as its low prices, raises questions about OpenAI and Anthropic's competitive moat.

RE: https://dice.camp/@realms/116459545804565917
I'd argue that "AI"-based development creates a bigger attack surface on closed source/proprietary software than open source software:
1. It's more likely that internal software development uses LLMs as they're most affordable to companies; leaving them more vulnerable to prompt injection and other types of attacks targeting LLM use.
2. It's more likely that internal commits aren't vetted as much (or even purely vibe-coded) as ones in open source projects.
3. It's more likely that attacks on open source projects are discovered quicker.
Also a reminder that the "Mythos" thing—like all the other doomerist things coming out of "AI" companies—is a marketing stunt to get Anthropic free press coverage.

Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized AI applications, but deploying them at scale presents significant challenges. We present RTP-LLM, a high-performance inference engine for industrial-scale LLM deployment, successfully deployed across Alibaba Group serving over 100 million users. RTP-LLM addresses fundamental bottlenecks through integrated design. It optimizes model loading via file-order-driven I/O and parallel I/O-communication overlapping. The Prefill-Decode Disaggregation architecture decouples compute-intensive prefill from memory-bound decode phases, combined with hierarchical multi-tiered KV cache management enabling efficient cache reuse. In addition, RTP-LLM incorporates modular speculative decoding supporting multiple algorithms, adaptive KV cache quantization, and decoupled multimodal processing, with support for multi-level parallelism.
Comprehensive evaluations across diverse model architectures (8B-235B parameters) have been conducted, where both controlled benchmarks and real production workloads are used. The results demonstrate RTP-LLM's superior performance against vLLM and SGLang: 4.7x-6.3x model loading speedup, 35-37% TTFT P95 latency reduction with 215% cache reuse improvement in production traffic scheduling, 1.12x-2.48x and 1.86x-2.52x throughput improvements in speculative decoding and multimodal inference, respectively, and 35-40% batch latency reduction with 1.9x-3.0x TTFT improvement in quantized inference. RTP-LLM's production-proven architecture and open-source availability make it a comprehensive solution for industrial LLM deployment.

arXiv:2606.21476v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Objective: Present OpenPINT (Open-source Planning for Isoeffective Nuclear Treatments), an open-source treatment planning system for nuclear therapies that integrates Monte Carlo dose calculations with modular dosimetric and radiobiological models for photon-isoeffective dose evaluation.
Approach: We describe the software architecture, implementation choices, and data flow from segmented geometry and source configuration to NIfTI dose outputs. We define BNCT-relevant dosimetric metrics and evaluate the workflow with reproducible analytic and voxelized cylindrical-phantom benchmarks, supplemented by a geometric patient-positioning example.
Main results: The module provides a reproducible and scriptable path for generating MCNP-ready inputs, extracting component-wise BNCT dose maps, and computing analysis-ready outputs for quality checks and decision support. Fine-resolution voxelized configurations reproduced the 1 mm analytic reference within 0.13% for the brain-limited irradiation-time endpoint, whereas the full voxelized sweep exposed deviations up to 4.42% in coarse 8--10 mm configurations. Patient-wide gamma pass rates were at least 99.60% for the evaluated mesh/interpolation cases, while low-dose DVH-tail quantities remained sensitive to boundary discretization.
Significance: This first paper isolates and validates the simulation-preparation and dosimetric-analysis core of an open-source BNCT treatment-planning platform. It establishes a foundation for subsequent work on optimization, biological weighting, and clinical workflow integration.
