Researchers propose Consistency Large Language Models (CLLMs), a technique to accelerate inference in large language models by enabling parallel decoding. CLLMs learn to map any point on the Jacobi trajectory of the target LLM to its fixed point, resulting in significant speedup without requiring additional memory cost or architectural modifications.

We're building Aide, an AI-native, privacy-first IDE. With the advent of AI, we believe there is an opportunity and necessity to re-imagine the IDE to be a place where developers and AI are both first-class citizens, and AI can pair-program as well as complete tasks independently. We're currently a team of two, based in London, United Kingdom. Between us, we have been a tech lead at ...

Temporal Python leverages asyncio event loops to enable durable and resumable workflows. It provides a sandboxed environment to prevent accidental global state pollution and supports cancellation of activities and workflows. The SDK offers type safety, supports both synchronous and asynchronous activities, and allows replaying historical workflow runs for debugging purposes.
