A recent paper "Deep learning reveals antimicrobial peptides within prions" inspired me to curate a dataset of 🧬 sequences tagged 'prion' on the NCBI website. For a link to the paper and more information: scarysnake/prion-fasta

I present to you a new experimental open book.

https://github.com/stas00/python-cookbook

I took my dense Python cheatsheet that I have been honing for many years and use a lot daily and turned it into a book of recipes.

Is this useful?

This is, of course, free, like other open books.

The Art of Debugging Open Free book is now available in pdf/epub and finally sports a book cover

https://github.com/stas00/the-art-of-debugging#ebook-versions-of-the-book

While a lot of the focus is on Unix/Python/Pytorch, the methodology chapter is applicable to any Software Debugging.

It currently sports 161 packed pages in 5 solid chapters and more coming...

In parallel we announce a new open source repo:

https://github.com/Snowflake-AI-Research/Arctic-Platform

This is the framework for very fast RL (and future other optimizations rolled into it)

It currently has all the code you need to use or integrate Arctic RL into RL frameworks, with SkyRL and Verl available and more framework integrations coming.

Please kindly spread the word! Thank you!

After many months of intense work the
Snowflake AI Research team is happy to present to you the new open source project: Arctic RL

https://snowflake.com/en/blog/engineering/arctic-rl-open-source-backend/

- Arctic RL integrates with VeRL and SkyRL today; enable ZoRRo with one config flag, no code changes required
- ZoRRo delivers up to 6x actor-update acceleration and a 3.5x end-to-end training speedup, reducing Arctic-Text2SQL-R2 training from ~5 days to ~36 hours on 32 H200 GPUs
- Arctic-Text2SQL-R2 achieved higher accuracy scores (48.7) than Gemini 3.1 Pro (47.9) and Claude 4.7 (47.3) on Snowflake's evaluated enterprise SQL benchmark under the tested conditions
- Two open source recipes ship with this release: a text-to-SQL recipe that improved BIRD dev accuracy from 59.92% to 70.35%, and a multi-hop QA recipe that improved average accuracy from 69.6% to 72.3%

PSA for DeepSpeed users - a long outstanding precision-related critical bug has been identified and fixed in https://github.com/deepspeedai/DeepSpeed/pull/8066 and a new release has been made.

The issue was about mixed precision mode downcasting buffers that had to be in fp32 - massively impacting correctness due to large static buffers - e.g. RoPE in Qwen3 models when using long sequence lengths 32K+.

Hopefully this fix brings Deepspeed to a close parity with FSDP2 which has been an issue since a long time.

You can still have the old behavior but you'd now need to manually configure it - by default the model's buffers will now remain in the original precision.

Please install deepspeed==0.19.2 which will do the right thing.

Thanks to Tunji Ruwase and Claude Opus 4.8 via Cursor for identifying and fixing the problem.

Sharing WorldForge with @abdelstark

It's an open-source Python project for evaluating and replaying robotics and world-model workflows.

The useful part is not only calling a model. WorldForge records the run, validates action shapes, translates outputs into actions, and keeps replay artifacts you can inspect later.

The current demo uses LeRobot + LeWorldModel on PushT through the official loader:

stable_worldmodel.policy.AutoCostModel("pusht/lewm")

The harness also has replay-only paths for Cosmos-Policy and GR00T-style outputs, so you can inspect the provider contract from saved artifacts without keeping a GPU server online.

Try it:

pip install worldforge-ai
uv run --extra harness worldforge-harness --flow robotics-compare

Repo: https://github.com/AbdelStark/worldforge
Docs: https://abdelstark.github.io/worldforge/

Pre-1.0, MIT, and actively looking for contributors. Good areas:
- robotics provider adapters
- replay artifacts
- eval flows
- docs & first-run demos

Good first issues: https://github.com/AbdelStark/worldforge/contribute

If you're building robot policy evals or model adapters, would love a PR — or an issue describing what's missing.

Good news! Ulysses Sequence Parallelism from the Snowflake AI Research and the Deepspeed teams has been integrated into
HuggingFace Trainer, Accelerate and TRL

For extensive details please see this writeup:
https://huggingface.co/blog/ulysses-sp

Thanks a lot to Kashif Rasul for helping make it happen. Also the others in the HF team who helped with integration.
