vulkan: Add a larger tile size for conv3d (coopmat2 only) (#29920) * vulkan: Add a larger tile size for conv3d (coopmat2 only) This adds a larger tile size, in practice it is only for coopmat2 where we don't need shared memory to store the output (would use more than 64KB). Add some additional representative backend tests. At least, this is what codex came up with from looking at sd.cpp Wan VAE. * only apply large tile size for newer driver versions **Website:** - **Attestations:** - **macOS/iOS:** - [macOS Apple Silicon (arm64)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b11877/llama-b11877-bin-macos-arm64.tar.gz) - macOS Apple Silicon (arm64, KleidiAI enabled) [DISABLED](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/23780) - [macOS Intel (x64)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama

Introducing Kimi K3.1 Pro

Introducing Kimi K3.1 Pro Kimi K3.1 Pro landed on the Kimi API today - it's not yet open weights, but Moonshot promise "Full model weights will be released by Nov 4, 2026". They're also offering a "Highspeed" version that's 2-3x faster, at twice the price (except for input token cache hits, which are priced the same). The US dollar pricing is $2.00/million tokens for input and $10/million for output - the same as GPT-6.1 Sol and half the price of Claude Opus 5.5. Moonshot's own benchmarks show Kimi as approximately level with Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra - beating them on a few benchmarks, coming close on others. Artificial Analysis scored Kimi at 55 - ahead of Claude Fable 5.1, GPT-6 Astra, and Gemini 4 Argon (all at 53) and behind only Claude Opus 5.5 (58). This is the first time a (soon-to-

IBM releases the Granite time-series integration forecasting model: a four-model, zero‑fine‑tuning ensemble that delivers a robust default forecasting solution.

IBM Research has released the open-source Granite Timeseries Ensemble (v1), which integrates four types of pre-trained architectures—PatchTST-FM-r1/r2, FlowState, and Tiny Time Mixers—and supports probabilistic ensemble forecasting with zero fine-tuning. By default, it employs equal-weight probabilistic pooling (Probabilistic Ensemble), while also offering an IQR-based adaptive weighting scheme (IQR Ensemble). On the GIFT-Eval benchmark (as of the October 20, 2026 snapshot), its point forecast error (MASE = 0.683) slightly outperforms that of the best single model, with significantly improved overall robustness.

AWS Machine Learning Blog

i14 releases the Laplace 3B linear attention model: inference with fixed-state memory, implemented on AWS Trainium2 and native PyTorch.

i14 has launched the Laplace 3B model with 3.028 billion parameters, which replaces Softmax attention with Gated Linear Attention (GLA). During inference, its per-sequence recursive state remains constant at 29.5 MB, independent of context length. The model was trained and validated on a single AWS trn2.48xlarge instance (equipped with 16 Trainium 2 chips), achieving a training throughput of 120,000 tokens per second and an inference throughput of 11,544 output tokens per second (with 1,280 concurrent sequences). All performance metrics are based on internal measurements conducted by i14 and the AWS GenAIIC team.

llm-echo 0.5

Release: llm-echo 0.5 I'm working towards a new LLM release, and testing PRs caused me to revisit the llm-echo debug plugin. This plugin provides a "model" which doesn't involve an LLM at all - it just repeats back the prompts that have been fed to it. The new release now updates the simulated token usage counts to take tool calls, system prompts, and reasoning tokens into account. Example usage: uvx --with llm-echo llm -m echo 'hi there' -o thinking 1 --usage Outputs: First I consider the prompt, then I decide what to say. { "prompt": "hi there", "system": "", "attachments": [], "stream": true, "previous": [] } Token usage: 2 input, 24 output Tags: llm

Anthropic tells investors quarterly revenue up nearly 50% to $16.8bn ahead of IPO

Anthropic tells investors quarterly revenue up nearly 50% to $16.8bn ahead of IPO The phrase "told investors" appears four times in this FT article, which reports on Anthropic's day of hosting investors on Wednesday. Lots of details in here from "people with knowledge of the matter". Key things I learned from the article: Q1 revenue (Jan/Feb/Mar) was "about $4.8bn" Q2 (Apr/May/Jun) was $11.5bn Q3 (Jul/Aug/Sep) was $16.8bn In Q3: $1.70 in revenue for every $1 spent on "computing power" Adjusted operating margins (excluding stock-based compensation) were 11% This point about distillation is worth quoting in full (highlight mine): The start-up has also clamped down on “distillation” — a controversial practice whereby rival AI labs train their models on the outputs of more advanced ones.

llm-gemini 0.35

Release: llm-gemini 0.35 I added support to llm-gemini for the new Gemini 4 Argon model, made available today via the Gemini API and for customers of their $100/month subscription plan. Here are the low, medium and high pelicans. As expected, they are all excellent: Gemini has a track record of producing great SVGs, and are the only lab where I know their staff have invested in SVG specifically (and who have boasted about their pelicans before.) Here's the "high" illustration, which cost me 17.166 cents: The pricing is interesting. At launch, Argon is $2/million input and $10/million output - the same price as GPT-6 Sol, half the price of Claude Opus 5.5 and 1/5th the price of Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra. But on December 1st Argon is set to double in price - so it will be the same pri
