In a recent paper, Stanford researchers Mason Kamb and Surya Ganguli proposed a mechanism that could underlie the creativity of diffusion models. The mathematical model they developed suggests that this creativity is a deterministic consequence of how those models use the denoising process to generate images.
By Sergio De SimoneAtlassian recently migrated 4 million Jira databases to Amazon Aurora, intending to reduce costs and improve the reliability of its Jira Cloud platform. Due to the large number of files involved and the constraints of managed services, the team developed a custom tool to orchestrate the process, as traditional cloud migration strategies were not viable.
By Renato LosioLM Studio has released version 0.3.17, introducing support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — a step forward in enabling language models to access external tools and data sources. Originally developed by Anthropic, MCP defines a standardized interface for connecting LLMs to services such as GitHub, Notion, or Stripe, enabling more powerful, contextual reasoning.
By Robert KrzaczyńskiGrafana released Tempo 2.8 on June 12, 2025, introducing substantial memory optimizations and expanded functionality in its trace query language, TraceQL. This update is part of an ongoing effort to make distributed tracing more performant and accessible within observability stacks.
By Craig RisiLaunched in early preview last May, Gemma 3n is now officially available. It targets mobile-first, on-device AI applications, using new techniques designed to increase efficiency and improve performance, such as per-layer embeddings and transformer nesting.
