先月出した本について、色な方から聞かれてますので、もう一度リンクを載せさせて頂きます😅🙏🏻 因みに、ビジネスの本ではありません。面白い日本語のトリビアの本です。まさに、僕にとって気になる日本語です。Thank you for asking about my new book! amazon.co.jp/dp/4046046058/

AI推論の高速化には、ハードウェアの高速化だけでは足りません。 @aiand_ は、@nvidia・@AMD・@tenstorrent向けにMiniMax H3を最適化しました。 → キャッシュ:リファインメント1ステップの処理時間を2.53秒から0.05秒に短縮 → ステップ蒸留:15秒動画の生成時間を229秒から19秒に短縮 適切なハードウェアと最適化手法の組み合わせによって、より高速かつ低コストな動画生成を実現しました。 🇯🇵 技術ブログはこちら:aiand.com/jp/newsroom/road-t…

本日、@aiand_ videoの提供を開始しました。高速かつコスト効率の高いAI動画生成が、ai& inferenceに加わりました。 テキスト、写真、既存の動画から、新たな映像を最短12秒で生成。従量課金制で、H3 Fastは生成動画1秒あたり$0.0125から。 @nvidia・@AMD・@tenstorrent向けに最適化されたMiniMax H3が、日本国内のai&インフラ上で稼働します。 こちらからお試しください:aiand.com/jp/video 発表の詳細はこちら:aiand.com/jp/newsroom/aiandv…

Today we launched @aiand_ video, bringing fast, cost-efficient video generation to ai& inference Turn text, photos, and existing clips into new footage in as little as 12 seconds, with pay-as-you-go pricing starting at $0.0125 per generated second on H3 Fast. @MiniMax_AI H3 optimized across @nvidia, @AMD, and @tenstorrent, running on ai& infrastructure in Japan. Try it at aiand.com/video Read the full announcement here 👉aiand.com/newsroom/aiandvide…

Heterogeneous compute. @tenstorrent technology. An incredible @MiniMax_AI model. Some pretty phenomenal results. @aiand_ Really proud of the ai& team and thanks to our partners. We’ve done something really special with @tenstorrnet + @AMD + @nvidia.
At @aiand_ we made @MiniMax_AI H3 fast and ridiculously cheap by pushing it across @nvidia , @AMD , and @tenstorrent. H3 fast starts at just $0.0125 per generated second at 768p, with our quality endpoint at $0.055, compared to MiniMax's official $0.08. Heterogeneous inference lets us choose the right architecture for each workload, then do the engineering to make that choice count. As AI expands across more modalities, we believe this becomes a technical imperative, not just an optimization. Read about our work below:

The guy who gave us QLoRA, says DeepSeek's inference system is on par with OpenAI's stack and better than what Anthropic runs, at least at their scale. Now check the license. Apache 2.0. Until today a production stack at that level existed inside a handful of companies. It was the thing that made their API fast and their margins fat, and none of them ever showed it to anyone. Today any startup, any university, any cloud in any country can download it, read it and run it. It runs on NVIDIA Blackwell and on Huawei Ascend, so it isnt tied to 1 chip vendor either. This is what I mean when I say open weights are about more than downloading a chatbot. DeepSeek is giving away the knowledge that only a few labs had, and that changes who can build an AI company at all. Respect @deepseek_ai
This is a very big deal. DeepSeeks inference system is on par with OpenAIs stack and better what Anthropic is running (at least for their user size).

Congrats to @deepseek_ai on the launch of DeepInfer! 🎉 Great to see the engineering behind DeepSeek's production inference stack being open-sourced, and thanks for the shoutout to the SGLang community 🧡 We're especially excited about the work on large-batch and multi-GPU inference. Can't wait to dig deeper and bring some of these ideas into SGLang!
🚀 Introducing DeepInfer, our in-house inference framework, now fully open source! Powering DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash at scale with high throughput and low latency. We’re sharing our production stack to help the community lower compute costs, reduce energy use, and make AI more affordable. 🔗 github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepI… 1/4

Wow. @nathanfielder’s @ElizabethHolmes documentary “You can see everything” was absolutely incredible. 1. It absolutely deserves to be in the best picture category for an Oscar. 2. I want my daughter to watch it to see what it’s like to lose yourself to manipulation by a man.
