In this tutorial, we build an advanced end-to-end time-series forecasting workflow with TimesFM 2.5 . We begin by configuring the runtime, installing the required dependencies, detecting available hardware, and generating a realistic multi-store retail dataset with trend, seasonality, pricing, promotions, holidays, temperature effects, and random variation. We then load and compile the TimesFM 2.5 model, examine its forecast configuration, and use it for zero-shot point and probabilistic forecasting. As we progress, we evaluate forecast quality with metrics such as MAE, RMSE, sMAPE, MASE, pinball loss, and prediction-interval coverage, while also testing batched inference, rolling-origin backtesting, context-length sensitivity, covariate integration through XReg, anomaly detection, long-horizon forecasting, throughput tuning, and input robustness. By working through these stages, we develop a practical understanding of how we configure, validate, benchmark, and deploy TimesFM for rea...

In this tutorial, we explore how NVIDIA Transformer Engine accelerates transformer workloads by combining fused GPU kernels, BF16 computation, and hardware-aware FP8 execution. We begin by installing Transformer Engine and detecting the active GPU architecture so that we can determine whether the runtime supports TE kernels, FP8 tensor cores, or only the pure-PyTorch fallback path. We then examine core fused components such as te.Linear, te.LayerNorm, te.LayerNormLinear, te.LayerNormMLP, and te.TransformerLayer, while also configuring a delayed-scaling FP8 recipe that manages tensor scaling, amax history, and hybrid E4M3/E5M2 formats. Using these components, we construct a compact GPT-style causal language model, train it on deterministic synthetic sequences, compare higher-precision and FP8 execution, measure runtime and peak GPU memory, inspect FP8 metadata, and validate the trained model through autoregressive generation.

Supabase has open sourced Supabase Evals , its benchmark and framework for testing how well AI agents build using Supabase. It runs coding agents including Claude Code , Codex, and OpenCode against real tasks, such as building a schema, debugging a failed Edge Function , or fixing a broken RLS policy, then scores the result. It powers the public leaderboard at supabase.com/evals and an internal regression suite monitored daily. Is it deployable? Yes, today. supabase/evals is public under Apache-2.0 and runs locally via pnpm . Industries : Developer tooling, cloud infrastructure, data platforms, and regulated backends in fintech or healthcare, where an agent writing a wrong RLS policy is a security incident. Applications : Regression-testing docs and skill edits, gating SDK releases, and comparing agent harnesses head to head. Constraints : Local-stack runs need a Docker daemon, provider API keys, and ports 54321–54329 free. How the harness works Supab...

MiniMax releases MiniMax H3 , a general-purpose multimodal generation model. MiniMax H3 is not a text-to-video model with add-ons. MiniMax describes it as a general-purpose multimodal generation model that reads text, images, video, and audio as one unified context and returns video with native stereo sound. The mains specs include: 2K output, 4–15 seconds, integer durations only . Previous video stacks split into text-to-video, image-to-video, first-and-last-frame, subject reference, motion reference, and video editing, each often a separate expert model. MiniMax H3 folds those into one pretraining paradigm where reference and editing relationships are expressed in natural language. MiniMax’s example prompt makes the point: reference the camera movement from Video 1, have the character in Image 2 sing, match the vocals to Audio 3. Is it deployable? Today: yes, through the API and no, on your own hardware. MiniMax launched H3 on July 31, 2026 with the model live in...
