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