Distilling an LLM on One GPU: Offline Top-K Logits and a Fused Chunked KL Loss

Multiverse Computing open-sources two changes that make knowledge distillation cheap enough to run at scale: caching the teacher's top-100 logits once so it never sits in memory during training, and a fused chunked KL loss that never materializes the vocab-by-sequence matrix. A GPT-OSS 20B distillation at 32K context drops from four GPU nodes to one, with step time down 5x.

AMD MI355X vs NVIDIA B200 vs B300 for Open-Weight Serving

AMD MI355X vs NVIDIA B200 vs B300 for serving Kimi K3's about 1.5TB of open weights: verified specs, the Wafer benchmark, and cost per token for each.

ZLUDA 6: Running CUDA on AMD GPUs Is Now a Hobby Project

ZLUDA 6 lets AMD GPUs run unmodified CUDA applications, adding PhysX support, Blender textures, and better Windows tooling. A practical look at what ZLUDA is, how it compares to ROCm and HIP as a CUDA alternative, and why its post-funding, hobby-project status matters if you are evaluating it for real workloads.

Self-Hosting Open-Weights Models: The Real Break-Even Math

Open weights are free to download, but inference is not free to run. Here is the honest break-even math on when self-hosting GLM-5.2, DeepSeek V4, or Llama beats paying per-token API prices - GPU rental and ownership costs, real throughput, utilization, the crossover in tokens per month, and the hidden ops bill nobody budgets for.
