During the summer, I had the pleasure of talking about our work on ML in GPUs at SIGGRAPH. “How GPUs must adapt in the Age of ML/AI”. Recording now up! youtube.com/watch?v=lshI6P…

And how nice is it that for once I can get the train all the way there and back?

Turns out I’m doing a keynote at GPC in a month, talking about what I see as the eras past, present and future in mobile graphics. Spoiler: AI is involved. Looking forward to it! graphicsprogrammingconference.nl

@night_song @SebAaltonen I wouldn't even assume there is a one-size fits all solution. Having open solutions allows them to be customizable by devs themselves.

@SebAaltonen Not a fan of AA solutions from most hardware vendors. They are usually a promotion for their non-portable APIs, and their devs really don't know what real world application needs.

If you are interested about neural temporal AA/upscaling, here's a great paper from ARM. I wish other GPU vendors would document their approaches as openly as ARM. AMD FSR to be fully open source too, but FSR4 isn't open source anymore. huggingface.co/Arm/neural-sup…

@SebAaltonen Agreed. We just need to reopen it. It can be done.

Seems that AI has changed everything. Before AI everybody was open. Now Nvidia started writing their own closed source AI algos to get competitive advantage. And AMD followed the suit with FSR4. This is not a good direction for the research community.

I swear I must own ~30 UK-north America adapters now. Can I find even one of them? No chance. Where do they go?!

@backinside Yes actually! I believe it is being recorded so it will be available after the event.

@palgorithm Any chance of a recording? :)

Going to SIGGRAPH and interested in ML? I’m going to be talking about what we’ve been working on for the last 5 years. If you are interested in or working on real time neural graphics, seriously please say hi! s2025.conference-schedule.org/presentation/?…

@kenpex Thanks! I didn’t know about the sky train. Will get that from the airport.

Are you coming to #Siggraph? Here! You're welcome. Please share! docs.google.com/document/d/1O1…

We're delighted to welcome Professor Hannah Fry to Cambridge! Mathematician and award-winning science presenter @fryrsquared will join us as Professor of the Public Understanding of Mathematics @FacultyMaths, following an announcement @NewtonInstitute 👉 cam.ac.uk/research/news/…

Woooooooo, our tiny game about real-time GI & procgen and shipping Rust & Vulkan is finally out! 🎉🖖🦀

@robcupisz Looks really good! Congrats!

I can't believe we're done! Time Ghost A short film we on the Demo Team have been working on for a while youtu.be/o1JIK5W3DRU Like all our team’s demos, it runs in real-time at 30fps in Unity. Over the next days I’ll be posting rendering and tech art breakdowns in this 🧵

Once @Microsoft 's Shader Model 7 is released, #DirectX 12 will accept shaders compiled to SPIR-V. Microsoft is working with the Khronos #SPIR and #Vulkan Working Groups to ensure that this transition benefits the whole development ecosystem. devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/direct… Microsoft

@mttrdmnd @FreyaHolmer +1 for names that end in snap though. Like ShapeSnap.

@FreyaHolmer Hmm ok true 😂

I really need to come up with a name for my 3D modeling tool - if you have ideas I'd love to hear them! here's a link to my notes, which includes my intended vibe targets, how I don't want to name it, my current top candidates, and random discarded ideas publish.obsidian.md/acegikmo/Tools…

This would make the best VR game evar.

@biovf @tlumessiah Thanks! Kate and I would love Fotografiska, but I’m not so sure our 4yo would. Everyone looks a bit tired this morning so I think a boat ride is the way forward

@palgorithm @tlumessiah Vaxholm is awesome. We took a boat in the morning and then returned shortly after lunch. It was quite a lovely trip. As Jonas said, Fotografiska is awesome, the Vasa Museum is very impressive too. Go eat at "Meatballs for the people" for a cheap but good meal.

Stockholm friends! We are in you! Done Djurgården, Gamla Stan, Ice Bar. But what next? Any recommendations?

@tlumessiah Thanks! We did Skansen yesterday- it’s great. Boat sounds like a plan. Was thinking of Vaxholm but boats look too infrequent? So looking at Fjäderholmarna

@palgorithm Get on a boat out to the archipelago and island hop for a day. Go to Skansen Fotografiska museum is quite cool
