introducing chipmunk—a training-free algorithm making ai video generation 3.7x & image gen 1.6x faster! ⚡️ our kernels for column-sparse attention are 9.3x faster than FlashAttention-3 and column-sparse GEMM is 2.5x faster vs. cuBLAS a thread on the GPU kernel optimizations 🧵
Our latest joint work w/ SandyResearch @ UCSD: training-free acceleration of Diffusion Transformers w/ dynamic sparsity, led by @austinsilveria @SohamGovande! ⚡️ 3.7x faster video and 1.6x faster image generation while preserving quality! 🧵 Open-source code & CUDA kernels!

Thrilled to be unveiling Thunderkittens 0.1: now with more simplicity, more speed, and more kernels! Had a blast working on this with @spectorb, @simran_s_arora, and folks at @HazyResearch 🚀
(1/7) In celebration of National Cat Day, we’re excited to release our first major batch of updates to ThunderKittens! ThunderKittens is now easier, better, faster, and cuter than ever before! In addition to massive speed boosts, we’re releasing a broad swath of kernels, new features, and tons of usability improvements. (Blog post: hazyresearch.stanford.edu/bl…, Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2410.20399) As always, joint with @AaryanSinghal4, @simran_s_arora, @HazyResearch, and team!

Introducing ambientGPT: an open-source and multimodal MacOS foundation model GUI Run GPT-4o and open-source models with full ambient knowledge of your screen. Foundation models have long been confined to the browser. With ambientGPT, your screen context is directly inferred as part of the query, ensuring you never need to explicitly upload context again!

Don't really blame @hosseeb for this to be honest. Its pretty clear the rest of the crypto VCs are following some variation of my due diligence framework. Most don't have @dragonflyvc's resources. I have now updated it for future reference.
