Speculative decoding became the standard inference speedup technique through 2024 and 2025. The idea: a small draft model generates a sequence of candidate tokens, and a larger target model verifies them in parallel — accepting the longest valid pref...

The scaling-is-everything story has a new challenger. On May 6, 2026, Zyphra released ZAYA1-8B — an open-weight Mixture-of-Experts reasoning model with 8.4 billion total parameters and fewer than 800 million active per token. On AIME 2025, a benchmar...

At Google Cloud Next 2026 (April 22), Google announced something it had never done before: two different eighth-generation TPU chips with distinct silicon designs for distinct jobs. TPU 8t handles training. TPU 8i handles inference. The split is a ha...
